Media Reacts to Trump's Garbage Truck Stunt

Comedian's Joke Sparks Controversy

The past week has been filled with controversy. It all started when a comedian made a quip at the Madison Square Garden Trump rally, referring to Puerto Rico as an 'island of garbage.' The left quickly jumped on the opportunity to criticize Trump, attempting to associate him with the insensitive joke.

Biden's Comment Adds Fuel to the Fire

Just when it seemed the controversy might die down, President Biden made a comment that added fuel to the fire. He referred to the 80 million Americans who support Donald Trump as 'garbage,' causing a flurry of attempts to downplay or misrepresent his words. However, his statement was caught on camera for all to see.

Trump's Response: A Garbage Truck Stunt

In light of these events, it was suggested that Trump should pose as a garbage man, following his successful McDonald's stunt the previous week. True to form, Trump seized the opportunity and addressed reporters from a garbage truck. The media was compelled to cover his stunt, with CNN even cutting away to it.

Media Reaction to Trump's Stunt

Trump's stunt was met with a variety of reactions from the media. Some found humor in the situation, with clips of Trump explaining the dump truck circulating on social media. Others, however, were less amused. CBS's Norah O'Donnell expressed frustration at Trump's 'stunt' and lamented the lack of grace given to Biden for his 'inadvertent' comment about Trump supporters. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough also voiced his displeasure, criticizing Trump for capitalizing on Biden's misstatement.
