Donald Trump decided to troll Joe Biden, in his own special way, as the US president allegedly called the supporters of the Republican candidate “garbage”.

Arriving in Wisconsin, Trump disembarked from his plane wearing a phosphorescent street sweeper vest, then boarded a custom-made garbage truck bearing his campaign insignia.

“How do you like my junk?” Trump asked reporters from inside the garbage truck, adding “this is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.”

Trump took the opportunity to keep relevant a comment Biden made late Wednesday that “the only trash I see floating out there is his supporters.” The US president tried to clarify that he had meant to say that “Trump’s demonization of Latin Americans was unconscionable” over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments, but it was too late.

Trump again sought to distance himself from Tony Hinchcliffe, whose joke about Puerto Ricans at a rally for the Republican candidate drew a backlash.

“I don’t know anything about the comedian. I don’t know who he is. I have never seen him. I heard he made a statement, but it was a statement he made. He’s a comedian, what can I tell you. I don’t know anything about him,” Trump said before adding, “I love Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico loves me.”

Trump, in fact, when he arrived at the rally in Wisconsin, he wore the orange vest again.
