Trump pounces on Biden's 'garbage' comment. But he's used the same word for opponents |
On Wednesday evening, Donald Trump rolled up to his event in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in the front seat of a garbage truck decorated with his campaign's logo and an American flag. The former president made "garbage" a central theme of his campaign yesterday – a response to Joe Biden's gaffe where he appeared to refer to former Trump's supporters as "garbage." Biden clarified that he was referring to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally as "garbage." Read more. |
But while Trump is telling his supporters that Biden's comment shows what Democrats really think about half the country, the former president has a well-documented, long list of disparaging remarks himself. Trump even used the word "garbage" to refer to his adversaries in September and has labeled political opponents "scum." |
Kamala Harris is moving past the comment – and Biden's gaffe – and has instead honed in remarks Trump made Wednesday evening about women. Trump on Wednesday said: "I'm going to do it whether the women like it or not. I'm going to protect them." Harris told reporters Thursday that his comment was "very offensive to women in terms of not understanding their agency, their authority, their right and their ability to make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies." |
Trump's deportation plan: A cost to taxpayers, billions for big business |
Donald Trump has pledged that if elected, he would carry out mass deportations of at least 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. It's a plan that would cost taxpayers billions of dollars. And big business that runs the federal government's immigration detention and deportation system could reap the rewards of Trump's plan. Read more. |
| • | How much would mass deportations cost? A mass deportation of 1 million people per year could cost $88 billion annually, according to the nonpartisan American Immigration Council. Read more. | |
Halloween at the White House |
