By The FirstThe garbage truck featured in one of Donald Trump’s most viral campaign appearances will be featured in his second Inaugural Parade, according to Newsweek.
From Newsweek:
The garbage truck became a symbol during Trump’s 2024 campaign when he used it to criticize remarks from President Joe Biden, who allegedly referred to Trump supporters as “garbage.”
The controversy began when a Trump rally speaker called Puerto Rico garbage. However, Biden’s later comment and the truck stunt turned “garbage” into a symbol for Trump supporters to identify with, echoing the way MAGA embraced the “deplorables” tag after Hillary Clinton‘s infamous remark in 2016.
It was one of many high-profile publicity stunts, including working at a McDonald’s, that Trump used to capture voters’ attention in his second successful campaign for the White House.
On October 30, 2024, the day after Biden’s “garbage” remark drove the MAGA world into a frenzy, Trump got off his plane ahead of a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and stepped into the truck, which was emblazoned with the Trump 2024 campaign logo.
“How do you like my garbage truck?” Trump told reporters as he sat in the passenger seat. “This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.”
