In a stunning turn of events that could make even the finest reality TV producers jealous, President Joe Biden has officially raised eyebrows and lowered standards by likening Trump supporters to, brace yourselves, garbage! Yes, you heard that right. In what some call an early Halloween treat, Biden delivered a potent cocktail of confusion and disdain during a recent livestream with the Latino organization Voto Latino. And while one might think calling people “garbage” would be a faux pas, our dear president seemed to think it was a hot take fit for the ages.
Now, before you grab your popcorn, let’s set the scene. Biden was responding to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s zinger about the administration’s handling of Puerto Rico and their “floating island of garbage.” Evidently, the president took a moment to lose himself in the grandeur of his thoughts, concluding that the real “garbage” wasn’t the hurricane debris but those pesky Trump supporters. Who knew? During a time when America was so divided, the president chose to unite us all under the banner of “I think you’re all trash.” Quite the strategy, right?
So what was Donald Trump’s response when he got wind of Biden’s fiery roast at his rally in Pennsylvania? Imagine the courtroom scene from every drama—silent tension breaking into laughter. Trump’s team gleefully relayed Biden’s comments, reminding everyone that they talked about real, hardworking Americans: nurses, teachers, and everyday patriots. It seems like the Trump campaign isn’t shy about spinning this into a frenzy of “We’re not garbage; we’re the backbone of America!” Who would’ve put money on hearts and minds being swayed by a garbage reference?
And if you think Biden’s comments might be a flash in the pan, think again. Politicians and pundits multiplied faster than rabbits after the remark, each tripping over to denounce or defend it. Some folks in the liberal media even attempted to downplay the moment, suggesting it’s no big deal because Biden’s not on the ballot. Yeah, because “garbage” isn’t exactly the best political slogan you’d want tethered to your candidate, right? Grab the broom and sweep that comment under the rug like nothing ever happened!
Hillary Clinton’s infamous “deplorables” remark from 2016 is now looking like a compliment in comparison. How do you recover from this without using the #GarbageGate hashtag? But it gets better! Reports are swirling that Biden’s campaign is now in “not harm” mode, which seems ironic given his recent habit of piling on the fuel. With less than a week to go before the election, one can’t help but wonder if this was calculated chaos or just another of those classic Biden blunders we, as a nation, have come to expect.
To wrap this dumpster fire of political commentary, remember this: nothing is off the table in the world of politics. An accidental gaffe can ignite a flame war or, in Biden’s case, a flaming pile of trash talk. Therefore, as we teeter on the brink of the next election, it seems evident that both sides will continue throwing punches or, in this case, refuse to pick up the trash. So keep your eyes peeled and your garbage bags handy; it will be a wild ride leading up to November.
