Making the most of Biden's "garbage" remark, Trump arrives at his Green Bay rally wearing garbage worker's gear.

He also rode in a garbage truck from the plane to the arena:

I trust that Democrats across the country will join with Mr. Trump in support of those who were prevented from voting.; 10/30/24, 6:37 PM
Achilles said...: More like 2/3's.; 10/30/24, 6:39 PM
YoungHegelian said...: Whether Trump wins or loses, there's no doubt he's having one hell of a time on the campaign trail. The Democrats want to quickly and quietly move on past the "garbage gaff", but, nope, Trump rubs their noses in it with another incredible visual when he shows up in the garbage trucks and vest.; 10/30/24, 6:41 PM
Dixcus said...: Boy, Joe Biden really despises Americans, don't he? I guess if you've been deposed as President, the victim of a coup run out of Nancy Pelosi's office with Barack Obama as the funder, and nobody cared ... well, you'd probably think Americans are garbage too.

The thing is, we like being called Deplorables. I have a hat with that word on it to remind everybody just what I am. I'm a Deplorable and Hillary Clinton is a washed up old drunk and won't ever be President.

This is what they don't get. The more they hate us, the more powerful we grow.

Yes, release YOUR ANGER, Democrats.

If you strike us down ... well, I don't want to spoil the ending for you.; 10/30/24, 6:42 PM

Dixcus said...: Trump is the Master Troll. He knows how to STEAL the remaining news cycles from Kamala Harris.; 10/30/24, 6:43 PM
Enlighten-NewJersey said...: Have you seen the "Trump Garbage Pail Kid"?; 10/30/24, 6:44 PM
Dixcus said...: The Arizona Supreme Court just paved the way for Democrats to steal the election. They ruled that UNPOSTMARKED ballots never sent through the mail can be counted up to 3 days AFTER the election, so that the Democrats know precisely how many FAKE BALLOTS they need to produce in order to win Arizona.

Also, ABC has already called Pennsylvania for Harris. The put up their fake election numbers ... OOPS ... a week early.

Trump knows the elections are fake, so why not have a little fun.; 10/30/24, 6:46 PM
Inga said...: I suspect very few Democrats care about Biden’s old man gaff. So there is no “rubbing anyone’s noses in it”, it’s not really of any consequence. It’s highly unlikely that anyone changes their Harris vote based on what Biden said, maybe some people will actually vote for Harris based on it. I know you folks want to think it was a negative for the Harris campaign, nope, not so.; 10/30/24, 6:49 PM
pious agnostic said...: Are we arguing about the actual percentage of Americans Biden called garbage?; 10/30/24, 6:49 PM
Gunner said...: Inga, he obviously means half the voting population.; 10/30/24, 6:50 PM
Yancey Ward said...: Poor Inga.; 10/30/24, 6:51 PM
Achilles said...: Of course Democrats don't care about Biden's Gaffe.

They are the type of people that can complain about a comedian calling an Island floating garbage for 2 days non stop and then immediately pretend they don't think it is a big deal.

It is part of being terrible people.; 10/30/24, 6:51 PM
Inga said...: Look at all the happy excited faces at the Harris rally in Madison tonight!; 10/30/24, 6:52 PM

Mason G said...: "The Arizona Supreme Court just paved the way for Democrats to steal the election."

On the plus side... in a 6-3 ruling, SCOTUS will allow Virginia to remove non-citizens from its voter rolls. Guess which three justices think non-citizens should be allowed to vote. Careful, now- you only get one.; 10/30/24, 6:54 PM
Inga said...: But a full “half” that voting population will not be voting for Trump. Trump won’t get 50% of the votes.; 10/30/24, 6:55 PM
Inga said...: Poor Yancy and Achilles, still think Trump will get 2/3 of the votes.; 10/30/24, 6:57 PM

Achilles said...: Isn't it fun to watch Sprezz make up a fantasy world where he isn't a hypocrite and a terrible person?; 10/30/24, 7:00 PM
Inga said...: It was said by a senile old man. What was the problem with the Trump campaign letting the comedian at the MSG rally tell such “jokes”, didn’t they vet the jokes? Or did they and agreed with it?; 10/30/24, 7:01 PM
tcrosse said...: Inga stands with the Master Race over us garbage Untermenschen.; 10/30/24, 7:02 PM
Achilles said...: See, Joe only called 80 million people garbage.

That means Inga isn't a hypocrite and a terrible person for supporting him.

Or something.; 10/30/24, 7:03 PM
Narayanan said...: thanks Donnie - great idea for costume tomorrow for office; 10/30/24, 7:06 PM

rehajm said...: WNEP-TV said that the results came up on the screen in “error” and that they had been “randomly generated” as part of a test ahead of the Nov. 5 election

…oh please. Do tell us more about this random number generator for test screens that randomly randomizes Harris as the winner…; 10/30/24, 7:09 PM
Inga said...: Well Trump called Democrats and never Trumpers “human scum”… so there’s that. Don’t feel bad.; 10/30/24, 7:10 PM
pious agnostic said...: I think two things about this story.

1) They needed to test the system, and their test was accidentally aired.
2) Their test message was a bit of self-soothing in the face of a lot of shaky knees.

If their message had shown Trump the winner, the internal revolt would have been counterproductive.; 10/30/24, 7:11 PM
Jim at said...: I know you folks want to think it was a negative for the Harris campaign, nope, not so.

You really suck at this politics stuff. I mean, you don't have a fucking clue.
Of course is was a negative for her campaign. Witness the press trying to cover it up, take it out of context or completely ignore it.

Sticking your head up your ass and screaming nah, nah, nah is a helluva way to go through life.; 10/30/24, 7:11 PM
Oh Yea said...: Inga, the damage to the Harris campaign is that no one is talking about Kamala's big speech last night. No momentum going into the final week.; 10/30/24, 7:12 PM
Achilles said...: Hopefully not. Your words here should last forever. We couldn't make up clowns this absurd.; 10/30/24, 7:13 PM
Inga said...: Pious guy,
I dunno. He may have put the apostrophe in his brain in the wrong place.; 10/30/24, 7:14 PM
Inga said...: Ok, second try…

Well, Trump called Democrats and Never Trumpers “human scum”, so there’s that. Don’t feel bad.; 10/30/24, 7:17 PM
Mason G said...: Which of the butt-sniffing MSM outlets will be the first to fact-check Trump's "garbageman" video with a "False! Trump lies! He never worked on a garbage truck"?; 10/30/24, 7:17 PM
Jersey Fled said...: “ Have you folks read Althouse's post? It isn't a gaffe depending on the apostrophe.”

Whether or not it’s a gaff is determined by the listeners, not the speaker.; 10/30/24, 7:17 PM
Mr. Forward said...: Trump rolls into Green Bay with a huge garbage truck and Inga is counting the flies. Who won the day? Again.; 10/30/24, 7:20 PM
Inga said...: Oh Yea… looks like momentum…

“In Michigan, Harris leads Trump 48%-43% among the state's likely voters, while Harris is ahead of the former president 51%-45% in Wisconsin, the polls released Wednesday found. Both leads are outside the surveys' margins of errors. Harris and Trump are tied in Pennsylvania at 48% apiece, a third CNN poll found.”

In an election defined by a historically wide gender gap, the Wisconsin and Pennsylvania polls found Harris faring better among women voters and Trump among male voters. Harris leads Wisconsin's likely women voters 59%-38%, and Trump leads Wisconsin's likely male voters 53%-41, the poll found. In Pennsylvania, Harris leads women voters 49%-46%, while Trump leads male voters 50%-46%.”

Joe Bar said...: Genius. He is the comedian for our time.; 10/30/24, 7:55 PM
Jim at said...: Joe Biden has been sidelined by Kamala Harris in the final days of her campaign, with his description of Donald Trump supporters as "garbage" underscoring her campaign's fears that the outgoing president is an electoral liability.

US media reported earlier this week that Harris's campaign was distancing itself from the incumbent, and that it had politely rejected his suggestions to make more joint appearances on the stump.

But, but I was told his comments were no big deal. Obviously some people know more than the Harris campaign. Too bad they're wasting their vast intellect on a law prof's website.; 10/30/24, 7:56 PM
Maynard said...: Inga stands with the Master Race over us garbage Untermenschen.

She wants Harris to win so that she can work in the Re-Education and Re-Programming camps that Harris will set up for us garbage people.

Vance said...: Inga says that "Kamala voters don't think it was a gaffe!"

Well, yeah... we know. We know, Inga, that you despise Americans and think they are garbage Nazi racists who should be rounded up and sent to the camps.

That's kind of the point of Trump: to stand up to you vile cretins who want to kill us. Trump's no saint, but sometimes you need a soldier, warts and all, when it comes time to fight.

Skeptical Voter said...: I'm a proud bitter clinger, deplorable and--considering the source-- piece of garbage. Dang me if the Bad Orange Man won't pounce!; 10/30/24, 8:50 PM
Dr Weevil said...: Madison Square Garden only seats 20,000, so if Trump had only "twenty of so thousand people" at his rally it's because it was full. Estimates that another 75,000 who couldn't get in watched it live on television in the many bars in the area are no doubt exaggerated, but there were certainly many who did that. Is Sprezzatura stupid, dishonest, or a bit of each, when he makes comparisons like this one?

I have also seen pictures of the Kamala rally and people commenting that it looked more like 20,000 than 55,000 or 75,000. And didn't Trump have 250,000 at his rally on January 6th, 2021, most of whom never went near the Capitol? That would be the proper comparison.; 10/30/24, 8:55 PM

Dr Weevil said...: Something wrong with the logic here. If I'd been treated as Biden was treated, I probably would think that the people who did that to me were garbage people, but that was done by Pelosi and a few other D.C. insiders - it had nothing to do with the voting public. Calling us garbage is still a nasty, stupid, typically Bidenoid thing to do.; 10/30/24, 8:59 PM

He did get up the steps though which didn’t look easy for him. His color didn’t look good at all, as if his face was red under all the bronze makeup. I hope someone is looking out for him, take his BP, make sure he’s hydrated, etc.; 10/30/24, 9:36 PM

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: He was in top form for that speech. Comedy gold like only Trump can deliver. I hope Althouse highlights the best parts today. “My staff told me this vest makes me look thin. They got me with that one. I said I’d wear it!”; 10/31/24, 5:05 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Since Biden famously said “supporters” the total slandered by his garbage comment conceivably includes even non-voters who support Trump. Ironically those are the exact people that TPUSA are targeting with intensive GOTV efforts in swing states. They surveyed earlier and found that about a third of attendees at Trump rallies were not registered and almost half of avid hunters so those “supporters” are even more motivated to vote now.
