Trump Climbs Into A Garbage Truck!
Former President Donald Trump climbed into a campaign painted garbage truck to bring attention to President Joe Biden's "garbage" gaffe.
- 14 minutes
How do you like my garbage truck?
This truck is in honor
of Kamala and Joe Biden.
I think that the comment made by really
both of them, because they're really two
of them, about being garbage, maybe 250
million people, they shouldn't be talking.
[00:00:15]
That's like deplorable failure.
This is the deplorable for Hillary.
Joe Biden should be ashamed of himself
if he knows what he's even doing,
and she should be ashamed
because she shouldn't let him do it.
She's the vice president, but I
assume she's acting as the president.
She should never have let that happen.
I hope you enjoy this garbage truck.
[00:00:34]
Thank you very much.
Oh, we did, we really did.
Yes, it is Halloween.
And Donald Trump decided one day early
to dress up as a sanitation worker
in response to President Joe Biden's
comments about,
his supporters,
Donald Trump supporters being garbage,
[00:00:52]
not the people of Puerto Rico.
But is this just another method
for cleaning up the mess
that the Madison Square Garden rally,
and specifically the comedian
Tony Hinchcliffe made
when he made that joke about Puerto Rico
being a floating island of garbage.
[00:01:09]
It's a little bit on the nose there,
I have thoughts.
I'm sure Jake has thoughts,
but if you remember those comments,
they really think that this is it.
This is the October surprise that Joe
Biden did the deplorables line and said
this about Donald Trump supporters.
[00:01:25]
Take a listen.
Puerto Rico,
where I'm in my home state of Delaware,
there are good, decent, honorable people.
The only garbage I see floating
out there is his supporters.
His demonization of Latinos
is unconscionable, and it's un-American.
[00:01:42]
So. Right. That's that is the big line.
And so Donald Trump decided to play it up
and put on the sanitation worker suit.
He looks really more like an
air traffic controller.
He's also like on a tarmac,
weirdly, I don't know.
There's also let's just
bring up the photo first.
[00:01:58]
There's this photo
because that was seemingly a good idea
when, let's be honest,
the orange reflective outfit
with the orange of his face
and the white little blow up doll mouth
like it's just doesn't work.
[00:02:15]
Like that's literally
that's an undoctored photo, people.
But there it is again.
And Donald Trump, actually, interestingly,
for the first time, his campaign distanced
themselves from the comments made
by Tony Hinchcliffe, comedian again,
who made that joke about Puerto Rico,
which was vetted by the Trump campaign but
[00:02:31]
still, in his garbage truck, he said, I
love Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico loves me,
in case there was any doubt.
And apparently this stunt went over really
well, especially if you're Sean Hannity.
Take a look.
As the saying goes, one man's trash
is another man's treasure.
[00:02:50]
And today in Wisconsin,
take a look at that.
This may go down as an iconic, epic moment
that we will remember for a long time.
Donald Trump hitching a very special ride
on a garbage truck
decked out in American flags.
[00:03:05]
MAGA gear.
You can tell a lot about the state
of a campaign by optics.
I guess, I don't know, I would just
put a slogan on the truck like, you know,
cleaning up the Democrats mess
or draining the swamp or something.
[00:03:22]
Otherwise, it looks like you really
are leaning into being garbage people.
And look, obviously, I think we can talk
about John Kerry's thoughts, I'm sure,
about whether that comment
was a smart comment from Joe Biden.
I will say this from a little bit more
of a comedic perspective
[00:03:38]
on the comments about Donald
Trump supporters being garbage.
I don't think they're garbage,
but I do think some of them are trash
and like, they know they're trash.
Let's be real.
The reason that people like Donald Trump
is because he's kind of trash, right?
[00:03:54]
He says the thing you're not supposed
to say that allegedly, you're all thinking
like Mexicans are rapists, right?
And women.
You know, she's not
she's not a ten, right?
Like that.
You want to just you grope them,
you do whatever you want.
As we'll talk about a little bit later.
Like that trash part of America, I think,
is exactly what appeals
[00:04:13]
Donald Trump to his base.
And they many of them
would agree they're okay with it.
They're like, yeah,
I'm going to just say how I feel.
I don't like the trans,
but that's my take.
Jake, I know you have a different take.
And there's also a poll coming.
[00:04:29]
Yeah.
So was this a good, photo op as a poll?
Let's go nuts right now in the live chat.
Yeah, I do definitely.
I definitely have a little bit
of a different take than Francesca, but.
And it's I would argue that it's nuanced,
but it's not wishy washy.
I'm coming out strongly on all sides.
So as you'll see here.
[00:04:48]
So number one, look,
I don't think it's productive
to call anybody garbage and trash.
As you know, how mad were we
when he called Puerto Rico garbage?
Well, that's how mad the other guys are.
When somebody on our side
calls them garbage or trash.
[00:05:04]
So it's counterproductive.
I don't I don't love it.
So now, and I've got a real reason
why they're why the Trump guys are are mad
and I understand it.
I'll get to that in a second.
But first, all the fake reasons.
So guys, really if you're MAGA,
you're going to pretend
[00:05:22]
that you're upset about name calling.
No. Come on guys, be real.
Nobody name calls more
than Donald J. Trump.
He name calls in every direction.
Everyone.
That is it just.
Oh, no. It's just Democratic leaders.
[00:05:37]
Come on. Please don't lie.
Please don't be embarrassing.
He's called America a garbage can.
I mean, look, he constantly says
America is a mess.
It's terrible. America is terrible.
Well, brother, you were a president
like, three and a half years ago.
[00:05:52]
So why didn't you fix
it completely back then?
Anyways, that's the whole country.
But you're going to say, oh no,
it's because of the immigrants.
Well, okay, then he just called
the immigrants garbage.
And that and the immigrants
were such garbage, they turned
the whole country into garbage.
So it's not just this comic,
he's the one saying it.
[00:06:09]
Okay.
And then when you get into Latinos,
Jews, blacks, Christians, Indians, like
every not only does he insult every group,
but then he says, if you don't
vote for me when you're Jewish,
you ought to have your head examined.
And you know it's probably
going to be your fault.
[00:06:25]
That seems like blaming the voters,
doesn't it?
Right.
And he does this, does that
with almost every ethnic group.
If you're pretending
that you're offended when you're MAGA.
God is the biggest name caller
on planet Earth.
Please, please either understand
that you're super entitled and you think I
[00:06:43]
get to say anything I want about you?
But don't you dare say anything
about my fragile, fragile snowflake ego.
Because then I'm going to need
a safe space for the rest of the election.
No, not buying it.
You know what that is?
That take is garbage, and you know it.
[00:06:59]
You know you don't believe that.
If you do,
you're totally detached from reality.
More weight.
Biden I thought you said Biden was senile
and I agreed with you guys on on that.
So now all of a sudden
he's not senile and he meant it.
Did you see him stumbling around with the
words if you watched the whole clip and
[00:07:15]
he's like, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.
He doesn't know what he's saying.
And did he mean the comic
or did he mean all of Trump's supporters?
My guess is in his mind,
he meant the comic.
We can disagree about that.
You can say, no, no, no,
I know they hate us.
And he meant all of us.
Okay, fine. Whatever.
I don't care about that.
[00:07:31]
But don't pretend that Joe Biden
is all of a sudden, like,
has incredible mental acuity.
And he meant exactly that.
And he meant to insult you guys
because he thinks
that's a brilliant political strategy.
Kamala Harris went out
and immediately apologized for it.
So apparently not a great
political strategy if he meant it.
[00:07:48]
And, you know, he didn't.
So or I don't care if you think he did,
but you certainly can't complain
if you've been loving the name calling
that Trump has been doing this whole time.
Now, why are they one last fake Reason
why are they pretending to be so mad?
[00:08:05]
And so maybe some of them are,
because they just.
They're so biased, they can't see
how much they've attacked left wing voters
and Democratic voters.
But I think most of them are pretending.
Why?
Because they want
to be able to say we're even.
We called you 2000 terrible names.
[00:08:21]
The senile old man slipped up
and accidentally said something
that we're going to pretend
it is about all of us who are offended.
We're offended. We're all even.
We're all even.
Okay, so that's a huge reason why.
But the second reason
is a little bit legitimate.
So look, guys, the part of the Trump's
[00:08:39]
appeal is he hates the establishment and
and the establishment is full of elites.
And the elites look
down their noses at you.
Right.
And so when anyone on the Democratic side
calls them garbage, it triggers them more
because then they think like,
[00:08:56]
oh, here comes the elites again,
looking down at us.
I hate those guys
and it drives them to go vote.
So that part I think is true.
All right. I said a lot there.
Frannie, what do you think? Yeah.
No, I think that's absolutely right.
You have to.
I mean, it's really it's unfair. Right?
We're in these these debates,
and it's like you have
[00:09:13]
to handle MAGA with kid gloves.
As if not just what they're saying,
but what they're advocating for.
You know, to me, the bigger headline
of the Madison Square Garden rally
was Stephen Miller saying
America for Americans.
And we want to, I don't know
what that was, but it sounded spooky.
[00:09:30]
You know, and we want to, like, deport,
you know, tens of 11 million
undocumented people.
Like, who's calling for mass deportation?
Who is calling for an entire policy
towards pro-Palestine demonstrators
that basically, like, locks them up
and criminalizes their speech.
[00:09:47]
Right.
Has an entire plan.
It's called Project Esther.
Look it up.
It's a whole plan for criminalizing
pro-Palestine people
and calling them the enemy from within.
Who's using, let's be real,
fascistic and Nazi language like this is
[00:10:03]
the same thing when racists are like, the
real racism is when you called me racist.
No, that's not how.
That's literally not how anything works.
That's like fart logic.
Whoever smelt it, dealt it.
That's not how farts work, people.
Whoever smelt it didn't deal it.
But do you understand what I'm saying?
[00:10:19]
It's just so funny to me
that they're trying to equate this.
But, Jake, you're right.
We always have to be the bigger ones.
And I have to say, wow, what a good stunt.
- You really handed it to us.
- Yeah.
No. Look, again, the the policy
and politics are different, right?
[00:10:36]
What was a good political maneuver
versus what do they actually believe.
What's actually going to be the policy.
So I don't think that Trump's going
to give us any good policies.
But in this photo op yeah I get it.
They're doing the fake outrage.
[00:10:51]
And some of them are actually outraged,
as I just explained.
But this is probably
a good photo op for them.
That's my take on it because he's he's
flipping the frame and he's making it seem
like the Democrats are the most guilty
of accusing the other side of garbage.
And it's taking the power away
from what the comics said
[00:11:09]
on in Madison Square Garden.
He did this with fake news.
He originally his team did fake
news all over Facebook in 2016.
They literally put out fake articles.
That's where the term comes from.
But then he jujitsu it and said
the mainstream media is fake news.
[00:11:24]
Now nobody remembers that he's the one
that started fake news.
They think his opponents did fake news.
So when you have a giant garbage truck
with Trump on it and him doing
this whole shtick, I think people are,
you know, going to think, oh, right.
The Democrats
called the Republicans garbage.
[00:11:39]
So I think it's a, you know,
whether it drives us crazy or not,
I think it is a good photo op.
That's my take on that.
And yeah, in terms of the photo op,
just the photo op.
What's your take on the on
the politics of that?
I don't think it overcomes the comments
that were made on Madison Square Garden.
[00:11:56]
I don't think that again, it's on the nose
for trying to be a clean up crew.
He's literally physically trying
to clean up the mess
from the Madison Square Garden rally.
There's it's just a few degrees removed.
Not everyone heard Biden's comments.
Not everyone who heard Biden's comments,
even, as you said, thought he was
[00:12:15]
even being cogent or serious or didn't
even remember what he was saying.
So again, it's like,
nice try a for effort.
It's not like, you know,
it doesn't make like Marc Anthony
and Jennifer Lopez and all of the like
massive like Puerto Rican celebrities
[00:12:30]
just sort of like come to your defense.
Nah, man, you're not getting a Hulk
Hogan only has one shirt to rip off.
Although, no, he's got like a couple.
But you know what I'm saying?
I do there is more gaffe though.
We I we can move on.
Yeah.
No, no, just two things here.
I want to see how the poll ended.
But also, I don't think
that it makes people forget about that.
[00:12:50]
And I think that Puerto Ricans
are genuinely super pissed.
I'm having I got to put my
glasses on my 68, 32 saying,
no, it's not a good photo op.
So, the only show in America
where I'm like, All right, look at that.
The audience disagrees with me.
Way to have an open mind.
[00:13:06]
Okay.
So, and we'll put that up on YouTube.
Community tv.com.
You know, member votes count 100 times
more members go out there and support me.
Okay, now I'm just playing, it's
perfectly good, opinion to have on that.
I like that he also had kind of, like,
almost a Halloween outfit
[00:13:23]
the day before Halloween.
By the way, the noise that you heard
was me just trying to help
with the Halloween feel of the story.
No, I accidentally opened up something.
Anyways, bottom line is it's not going
to open, so it's not going to.
I opened up Twitter for a second and it's.
[00:13:38]
Like, okay, okay.
I was like, was that like a new drink?
- That sounds really intense.
- No, no, it was a video.
And so, but bottom line is, no,
the Puerto Rican vote
American voters are not going to.
Well, they're all Americans are not going
to forget that our side is not going
[00:13:57]
to forget the things that he said.
But now we're in the get
out the vote part of the campaign.
So I think this will drive a lot of his
voters to get even angrier and go, oh,
there they are again looking down at us.
I'm definitely going to go vote for Trump.
So in that sense,
I think it helps him politically.
[00:14:15]
I think that's a good point.
But Jake, I mean, like, can you imagine
in the final week of your election,
the big question that the mainstream
that everyone is asking is,
did you just have a Nazi rally or not?
[00:14:30]
Like, you can't imagine that's
a good place to be for a campaign.
