In yet another display of political theater from the former president, Donald Trump made headlines during a campaign stop in Wisconsin when he arrived in a “campaign-themed garbage truck.” With the humor this nation needs but often lacks, Trump decided to poke fun at President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in a way only he could manage. Arriving in Green Bay with a flair for the dramatic, his choice of vehicle could only be described as a masterstroke of comedic timing and campaign strategy.
This dumpster on wheels was anything but ordinary. Trump donned what appeared to be a waste management worker’s vest, immediately turning heads and raising eyebrows among reporters and supporters alike. He questioned the gathered press about their thoughts on his new campaign mode of transportation, dubbing it a tribute to Harris and Biden. The video quickly went viral, proving once again that while some politicians might recall their elevator music, Trump knows how to highlight the stench of leftist policies in the most entertaining manner.
The timing of this stunt is no coincidence. It came shortly after Biden made waves commenting on a supposedly hilarious joke by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who had the audacity to call Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at a Trump rally. Biden, trying to be the voice of reason amid leftist chaos, quickly pivoted to criticize Trump supporters in response, suggesting that the “only garbage” he sees comes from them. Naturally, this comment incited a flurry of debates across social media, where Biden’s usual wisdom failed him once again.

The backlash was swift, and not just from diehard conservatives. Voters in battleground states like Pennsylvania expressed outrage over Biden’s careless remarks, proving that the left’s view of their constituents is often condescending and dismissive. Trump seized this opportunity to remind everyone that this is nothing new for Democrats—much like Hillary Clinton’s infamous “basket of deplorables” comment, which backfired spectacularly. While the left tinkers with their cancel culture and political correctness, Trump simply employed some good ol’ trash humor to highlight how out of touch the Democrats really are.
In a moment that surely riled the left, Trump’s approach seemed less like a political move and more like a comedic act—a strategy that is bound to resonate with the average American tired of political correctness and name-calling from the other side. Walsh could have taken a page out of Trump’s playbook with an even more colorful mode of transport to deliver his message: a burning dumpster, perhaps? But that might have required a sense of humor and creativity that appears to be missing from the current Democratic regime.
As the campaign ramps up, one thing is clear: Trump’s continued knack for theatrics and humor makes him a formidable opponent, especially when he can turn leftist gaffes into campaign gold. In the battle of ideas—and garbage trucks—it’s Trump who is steering the narrative, while Biden grapples with the fallout of his careless words. The Trump show is far from over and is set to keep rolling along—preferably in a garbage truck.
