Trump Wears Sanitation Vest in Wisconsin Rally, Calls Out Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Comment
In a unique sartorial choice, Donald Trump traded his usual suit for a bright orange vest, similar to those worn by sanitation workers, at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Trump used the moment to declare, “250 million Americans are not garbage,” a response to President Joe Biden’s recent remarks that some took as calling Trump supporters “garbage.” Biden’s comment came after a comedian’s offensive joke about Puerto Rico, prompting the White House to clarify that Biden was referring to Trump’s “supporter’s demonization of Latinos.”
Taking the stage in the safety vest, Trump referenced similar remarks he made earlier that day in North Carolina, where he claimed his supporters are “far higher quality” than Biden’s. Trump also humorously recounted how the vest idea came about, explaining that his staff suggested it to him shortly before his arrival in Wisconsin, playfully assuring him it would make him look slimmer. Later, Trump expanded on his experience with the vest and the “adrenaline” he felt when climbing into the cab of a garbage truck as part of the stunt.
The moment underscored Trump’s ongoing feud with Biden and provided his supporters with a memorable image, symbolizing his pushback against the president’s remarks. With the vest and a strong message, Trump sought to energize his base and reinforce his stance on representing the “forgotten Americans.”
