Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz mocked Donald Trump Thursday for his clumsy garbage truck gimmick.
“This dude’s nearly 80-years-old,” Walz said at a campaign event in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. “He damn near killed himself getting into a garbage truck.”
The crowd laughed at the Democrat’s reference to a Wednesday incident involving the Trump campaign’s attempt at retribution over President Joe Biden’s garbage gaffe that inflamed MAGA supporters. The GOP nominee donned an orange safety vest and planned a ride in a Trump-branded garbage truck.
So biden’s “gaffe”.
I’m just gonna go ahead say he should have been like “I said what I said. You got a problem with that?”
Trump supporters are awful people. Period. Full stop. You cannot be a good person, or even a not-bad person and support trump. He is directly responsible for the deaths of over 1 million Americans. He is an insurrectionist. He is a rapist. A liar. A business fraud. A cheat. He’s blatantly racist.
If you support trump, you support a fascist. That makes you a fascist. It is as simple as that.
It’s obvious the not-actually-a-joke made Biden angry. Some things should make you angry.
Trump’s ass-suckers keep trying to flip the narrative and it’s a complete failure.
The reason it is dumb is because, with a close race, getting your base out to vote is important, and this can be used as a rallying cry. It’s just like insulting your opponent before some sporting even and it’s used a locker room fodder to rule people up.
We learned in 2016 with the deplorable comments, which was accurate, was a mistake. This is a mistake too, no matter how accurate you think it is.
It can also fire up your base.
Lets. It forget that Biden was responding to a speaker at Trump’s MSG rally calling Puerto Rico garbage.
What idiot decided the democrats needed to pull their punches while trump and the republicans get to call america garbage? Or any of the actually-vile shit they spew on a regular basis?
Trump is a fascist. Period. Full stop. Anyone who supports him is also a fascist. And fascists are garbage human beings.
Besides which, they were already out voting. They can’t vote any harder.
It can also fire up your base.
Maybe. But it’s asymmetrical at best.
What idiot decided the democrats needed to pull their punches while trump and the republicans get to call america garbage?
No one. Look how fired up you are after Trump’s comment. This is my point. It was a dumb mistake for his campaign, just like Biden’s is a dumb mistake for Harris’ campaign.

Again, you’re mixing up your feelings about how true the statement is with whether or not it was a good move for the campaign. These are two entirely separate things.
Besides which, they were already out voting. They can’t vote any harder.
This flies in the face of all conventional wisdom. Campaigns are out canvassing heavily in swing states (I know, I live in one of them, among very politically active people who are doing it), with the intent of making sure people get out to vote. You seem to be viewing Trump supporters as some kind of borg who all do the same exact thing, but it’s simply not true. There are people who are lukewarm about this and may or may not vote. You don’t want to give them any ammunition to fire up these people to encourage them to vote. That’s the whole point.
It might work that way, or help shutting up the people that say “Harris is the same as Biden”
It might also not be a wise strategy to insult the people you hope to change their minds to stay at home or vote for them. Every single vote is important.
Insult trump and his cronies but not the American people that you built your whole campaign around.
I don’t think it was a gaffe at all. It may have been a Freudian slip, but he said what he meant. I’m disappointed he back tracked and Harris supported that, but such is the game of politics.
Trump is a garbage man. He’s a garbage delivery man.
