Trump Nearly Slipped While Trying to Climb into a Garbage Truck for a Campaign Stunt

Former President Donald Trump‘s garbage truck driver cosplay Nearly crashed after missing the door handle on the passenger side of the car and nearly losing his balance. He finally opened the door and, briefly grabbing his right thigh, climbed onto the seat with some effort.

Trump later said the truck was too big.

“I said how the hell do you get in that truck? “It’s very high,” he said at the rally in Wisconsin, still wearing the orange vest. “I said they don’t have to buy it big, right? Do you really have to make it that big?” But Trump said he considered himself lucky to get in because he was being followed by “fake news.” “So, the first staircase is the same as here,” he said, raising his hand to his waist, although the step was at knee level. “I said, ‘damn.’ So I had an adrenaline rush and I did it.”

The trash truck photo spread comes after a furor over the use of the word “garbage” in the final full week of the presidential campaign. Trump, who previously called the U.S.trash can“comparing immigrants to trash faced a wave of criticism after holding a rally in which Tony Hinchcliffe, a right-wing comedian, called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” Trump has refused to disavow comment.

Later President Joe Biden himself stumbled while talking to a group of his Latin American allies.

“The only trash I see there are his supporters. His… his… his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and un-American,” Biden said. The president later clarified that he was referring specifically to Hinchcliffe’s remarks, not to all Trump supporters, but to Trump and his allies jumped on the comment.

“In the view of the Democratic Party, millions of Americans like you and me are a basket of irredeemably deplorable people. We are racist, sexist, fascist loving Nazis who cling to our God, our guns, our Bible, our religion. And now apparently the top Democrat in the White House thinks we’re trash too.” complained Fox News host Sean Hannity, who has never criticized Trump for calling Democrats the “enemy within” or threatening to turn the US military against his political opponents.

Meanwhile, Hannity praised the man who called the entire country a repository of trash.

“This moment could go down in history as an iconic, epic moment that we will remember for a long time,” he said of Wednesday’s photo op. “Donald Trump takes a special ride in a garbage truck decorated with American flags and MAGA gear.” he said before showing a video of the former president nearly falling.
