Jimmy Kimmel mocks Donald Trump for trolling garbage truck Biden
Jimmy Kimmel was unimpressed this week by Donald Trump’s mockery of Joe Biden. After the US president found himself in a controversy for appearing to call Trump supporters “garbage”, Trump took the opportunity to troll Biden by taking photos in a MAGA-branded garbage truck. Kimmel said it would have been more appropriate if Trump had gotten into the back of the truck with the actual trash.
“He went out and rented a garbage truck and put his name on the side,” Kimmel said of Trump’s garbage truck stunt. ‘Shouldn’t they have put him in the back? The waste goes in the back of the truck.”
Kimmel noted Trump’s decision to wear an orange vest, commenting, “It really brings out the orange in his face, I have to say.”
Kimmel found it rather ridiculous that conservatives were taking action over Biden’s “garbage” comment, while Trump himself often refers to “America as a garbage can” several times a day. Biden later tried to clarify his comment, saying he was specifically referring to Tony Hinchcliffe, the pro-Trump comedian who sparked outrage after calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash” when he appeared at Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden .
“This waste thing is a serious problem [Trump]Kimmel said during his monologue. “He is facing a storm of anger from the Latino population. Bad Bunny, J. Lo and Ricky Martin all voiced their support for Kamala Harris this week. But instead of apologizing, which he doesn’t, he sat down to talk about it with noted racial tolerance advocate Sean Hannity.”
Kimmel then played a clip from Trump’s interview with Hannity in which Trump claimed, “I’ve done more for Puerto Rico than any president I think has ever been president… Every time I go out, I see someone from Puerto Rico , they give me a hug and a kiss.”
“Yeah, that definitely happens every time he goes out,” Kimmel jokingly fired back.
