Donald Trump: scandalous candidate or garbage collector?
31 october 2024 в 20:13
Donald Trump, a garbage man? Not quite, but the campaign of the Republican candidate had a few moments that caught attention. From briefly serving pre-selected customers at McDonald’s in Pennsylvania to talking to journalists from the «Trump Make America Great Again» garbage truck, the 78-year-old politician tried to create a stir. But why did Trump decide to appear at his final rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in a bright orange vest and on a garbage truck?
Based on his appearance in Green Bay on October 30, 2024, Trump appeared on the garbage truck to mock President Joe Biden, who recently made comments about Trump supporters.
«How do you like my garbage truck?» Trump asked journalists, according to the Associated Press. «This is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden. I hope you liked this garbage truck. Thank you very much».
During a conversation with the Voto Latino rights group, Biden made a remark that seemed to be directed against Trump supporters.
«Just the other day, one of the speakers at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage», - Biden said, according to the Associated Press. «Let me tell you something, I don’t know a Puerto Rican, and I know Puerto Rico, where I live in my home state of Delaware. They are good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see there is his supporters. His demonization of Latin Americans is unacceptable and unworthy of Americans. It goes completely against everything we have done, everything we have been».
Hours later, Biden emphasized his opposition to the «hateful rhetoric» of Trump’s campaign towards Latin Americans.
«Earlier today, I called the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico expressed by a Trump supporter at his rally in Madison Square Garden garbage — it’s the only word I can think of to describe it», - the president wrote on his Twitter page last week. «His demonization of Latin Americans is unacceptable. That’s all I wanted to say. The comments at that rally do not reflect who we are as a nation».
No, the Republican candidate did not call Puerto Rico «garbage» at his rally at Madison Square Garden in New York. However, one of his speakers did. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a «floating island of garbage» and made several racist statements about Latin Americans. When asked about Hinchcliffe’s statements, Trump insisted that he doesn’t even know who he is.
«I know nothing about the comedian», - Trump insisted, according to the Associated Press. «I don’t know who he is. I’ve never seen him. I heard he said something, but that was his statement. He’s a comedian, that’s all I can tell you. I know nothing about him»
