How Trump Kept Biden s Garbage Gaffe From Getting Thrown Out | RealClearPolitics
As the White House tried to clean up President Biden s mess, Donald Trump waited you couldn t say patiently.
Just to clarify, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday before fielding another half dozen questions about the fiasco, Biden was not calling Trump supporters garbage. She pointed to his statement posted on social media, his longstanding reputation for empathy, his oft-stated desire to lower the temperature.
He does not view Trump supporters, or anybody who supports Trump as garbage, Jean-Pierre asserted on a day the White House preferred to talk about good economic news or really anything else. After an hour, she hoped that what Republicans gleefully were calling Garbage-gate was over.
Then Trump landed in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He wore an orange vest, walked to a white garbage truck, and climbed into the passenger s seat. How do you like my garbage truck? he asked reporters. This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.
