Update: (630pm): Late last night, after all the garbage drama had finally quieted down, we suggested that if Trump shows up in a garbage truck tomorrow, the media would explode.

Fast forward to this afternoon when, in a move that may very well seal the election, Trump took this advice and after landing in Green Bay, Wisconsin, he conducted a brief press conference in a garbage truck which he then rode to his rally.

After Joe Biden smeared President Trump’s supporters as human “garbage,” President Trump is taking press questions in a Wisconsin garbage truck. pic.twitter.com/gqeGEUA0JA
And, as we suggested last night, the media is currently losing their minds as they have no choice but to cover Trump in a garbage truck.
OMG

Trump is speaking to reporters now from a garbage truck 🤣
And the media is forced to cover it 🤣pic.twitter.com/4fdcjnhOiK
Meanwhile, here is Brett Favre who will surely speak next to Trump shortly.

Update (1045ET): Vice President Kamala Harris has responded to Biden's 'garbage' comment - saying "first of all, he clarified his comment" - referring to the ham-fisted attempt to suggest he was talking about one Trump supporter, Tony Hinchcliffe, and not what we all heard.
"I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for," Harris continued, before launching into word salad mode.

In a press gaggle, Vice-President Harris just addressed President Biden’s “garbage” comment.
She starts with noting that Biden clarified his comment, but goes onto say that she strongly disagrees with criticizing people based on who they vote for. pic.twitter.com/7N9lqtjTsx

And of course, the media is already spinning this - suggesting that Biden said 'Trump's supporter's' - singular, as if he was only referring to Hinchcliffe.
You do not hate the media enough.

They edit out Trump’s repudiation of white supremacists to pretend that he’s a Nazi sympathizer, and say that his comment about an auto industry bloodbath is a call to violence.
But they’ll cover for Biden by dismissing his words (which are on… https://t.co/p00CepkiUq pic.twitter.com/4PFDMHUEd6
Trump running mate JD Vance responded as well - calling out journalists trying to spin this:
"The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters." That's a direct quote. That's what Kamala Harris's boss said. This is how Politico decided to report it:

Do @JonLemire @alexanderburns @politico have an ounce of integrity? Will they correct this obvious falsehood? pic.twitter.com/B1ktGVpLfz
Will the networks that obsessively covered a joke from a comedian at a Trump rally cover the fact that the Kamala Harris campaign is insulting half of the country? Will they even report honestly on this disgusting behavior from our present leadership?

Biden’s verbal gaffe (if that’s what it was) is an absolute nightmare for Harris campaign.

This is getting more attention than Harris’ closing argument speech. https://t.co/WKYnn5HHMB

You may have heard. During Donald Trump's 7-hour, celebrity-packed rally at Madison Square Garden, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage," in reference to the US territory's well known problem with overflowing landfills.
Chairman of the Republican Party of Puerto Rico Ángel Cintrón calls comedian Tony Hinchcliffe comments on Puerto Rico “unfortunate, ignorant and entirely reprehensible.”

The left went into absolute hysterics,
Liberal comedian Jon Stewart was the voice of reason...
Props to @JonStewart for admitting he finds @TonyHinchcliffe funny.

And just when you thought the dust had settled, President Biden called 80 million Americans human garbage:
"Donald Trump has no character. He doesn't give a damn about the Latino community…just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage?…The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," reports NBC News' Gabe Gutierrez.

This is not the behavior of a winning campaign. This is the behavior of a campaign that hates the voters it knows will crush Harris in a week.
