As the countdown to the US presidential election enters its final days, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making urgent appeals to voters.
The Democratic candidate found herself on the defensive after Joe Biden sparked outrage within conservative circles by seemingly labeling Trump’s supporters “garbage” following a racially insensitive joke made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Madison Square Garden concerning Puerto Rico. The White House has refuted this interpretation of Biden’s comments.
On Wednesday, Harris voiced her strong opposition to any derogatory comments aimed at voters based on their political affiliations.
Trump seized upon Biden’s remarks, stating, “He called them garbage and they meant it.” In a theatrical display, he donned a sanitation worker’s outfit and posed in a garbage truck ahead of his rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This was part of an effort to shift blame away from Hinchcliffe’s comment while attacking the Harris campaign.
The former president then told his audience he would ensure women are protected “regardless of their feelings about it.” Meanwhile, recent swing state polls indicate that Harris holds a slight lead over her Republican opponent in critical states like Wisconsin and Michigan.

Theatrics and Tactics: Trump’s Garbage Truck Antics
On Wednesday night, Trump arrived in Green Bay after stepping off his private jet clad in an eye-catching orange safety vest. He climbed into a garbage truck as part of what appeared to be an attempt at sardonic commentary against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris amid looming electoral pressure.
The two candidates are attempting to capitalize on controversial remarks connected with Puerto Rico made during Trump’s rally when Hinchcliffe described it as “a floating island of refuse,” which could alienate significant Latino voter demographics. In response to these ignoble comments by Biden about “garbage” being identified among certain supporters who disparage fellow Americans, Trump took advantage of the situation while trying hard not be linked with Hinchcliffe’s disrespectful humor.
This publicity stunt featured branding from Trump’s campaign prominent on the vehicle; even as he humorously leaned out multiple times from its window—much like his past drive-thru escapades—to engage journalists with quips such as “What do you think about my garbage truck?” He also claimed ignorance regarding knowledge or involvement with Hinchcliffe before amusingly spinning around airport tarmac without apparent direction or purpose. Appropriate commentary followed from heated supporters riding high on comedic nuances reminiscent of Halloween antics.
