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.

      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.

      It’s so stupid how one sided the media is being. Trump openly admires Hitler, blatantly tries to overthrow democracy, and gets the benefit of doubt or not even any coverage at all by most major outlets. Biden calls somebody garbage and it gets treated as a serious scandal.

        And the context was they called PR garbage for no other reason than not being white enough; and he was responding to that.

        Like, no. “Have you seen trump supporters” is a fair criticism to that.

    I love Walz so very much. Ever since someone mentioned the Red Foreman comparison, I cannot unsee it.

    It’s so fucking hilarious. This guy is the perfect antidote to so much magabrainz bullshit…

      I saw the comment I believe you’re referencing.

      I repeated it to everyone in my life who would be even remotely receptive and they all loved it.

      Hopefully the original commenter is proud.

    If you watch trump get in, it looks like he fails to grab the door handle the first time (like he has crappy vision), and takes 2 attempts to grab the handle

    Say what you want about Biden, but Biden could grab the handle in 1 go

      Walz is not wrong when he says the guy nearly killed himself. I think there’s a reason that fashy gramps was getting into the PASSENGER side of the vehicle. He definitely should not be driving…
