Trump supporters are turning President Biden's "garbage" insult into a rallying cry, decorating trash cans and hopping on garbage trucks to show their pride — a twist that could reshape the final weeks of the 2024 race.
Trump supporters have turned President Joe Biden’s latest jab on its head, proudly reclaiming his Tuesday insult labeling them as “garbage.” Biden’s remark, made during a campaign call, has sparked a flurry of reactions and visible pushback from the right, making it a rallying cry for Trump’s base.
In a striking display, former President Trump climbed into a garbage truck for a brief ride yesterday, an event covered live by CNN. Meanwhile, fellow Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy joined a garbage truck crew for a day, furthering the playful embrace of Biden’s comment. Across the country, supporters have taken things to the next level, decorating their trash cans to showcase their “garbage” pride.
Political analyst and pollster Frank Luntz believes the fallout from Biden’s comment could be “huge.” Speaking on CNN’s *News Central*, Luntz explained, “This is the President endorsing his Vice President and insulting millions of voters. Trump’s already seizing on this, and we’ve seen how similar comments like Clinton’s ‘basket of deplorables’ resonated in 2016.” Luntz noted that this moment could be pivotal, helping Trump reach the final percentage of undecided voters, with ads expected to surface soon to underscore Biden’s remark.
As the 2024 election approaches, the fallout from Biden’s comment is already proving to be a catalyst in energizing Trump’s supporters, who are putting their pride in “garbage” on display.
