'You are not garbage': Trump rides garbage truck in uniform for supporters at rally in jibe to Biden's remarks
Trump at Wisconsin rally in his garbage tuck
Just a day after US President Joe Biden called Donald Trump's supporters "garbage," the Republican presidential nominee arrived in a garbage truck wearing the uniform of a garbage picker at his Wisconsin rally on Wednesday (Oct 30).
“How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honour of Kamala and Joe Biden," the former president said while addressing his supporters on the road.
The garbage truck was covered with Trump's campaign logo, flag, and the American flag while Trump was sitting in the front seat of the vehicle.
Wearing the bright safety vest, the Republican presidential nominee started his speech telling his supporters in Wisconsin that they were "the heart and soul of America", and accused his political opponents of calling them "garbage".

"And I must begin by saying 250 million Americans are not garbage. Without question, my supporters are far higher quality than crooked Joe or lying Kamala," Trump said.
Trump also aimed at the Democratic party, accusing its leaders of labelling his supporters with derogatory terms over the past nine years including "fascist, deplorables, irredeemables and Nazis."
'I may never wear a blue jacket again'
Trump hilariously narrated how he decided to wear his garbage uniform for the rally.
"One of my people came in and said, 'Sir, you know, the word garbage is the hottest thing right now...would you like to drive a garbage truck?' I said 'NO WAY!' But they said, 'If you did, it makes you look thinner.' I said, 'Oh...' and they got me when they said I look thinner," Trump narrated his "actual" reason for wearing the jacket on stage.
"I may never wear a blue jacket again. I may go in this," he further added.
Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy also shared a video on his X account in which he was seen standing at the back of the garbage truck.
"We're not garbage, we're patriots recycling the American Dream," he wrote on his post.
Biden's 'disgraceful' remarks
US President Joe Biden on Tuesday (Oct 29) appeared to describe one or some Trump supporters as "garbage," which has undercut Harris' pitch to work with those who disagree with her and move past the bitter divisions that define US politics.
