In a lighthearted moment during a recent rally, former President Donald Trump entertained supporters with the backstory behind his choice of attire, which he humorously dubbed his “garbage uniform.” Trump initially balked at wearing the outfit, but his team convinced him by joking that it made him “look thinner.” Amused, Trump agreed, quipping, “They got me when they said I look thinner,” to laughter from the crowd. He then playfully teased, “I may never wear a blue jacket again,” adding a humorous touch to the otherwise politically charged event.
LMAO: Trump hilariously tells the story of how he decided to wear his garbage uniform for the rally.
“I said ‘NO WAY!’ But they said, ‘If you did, it actually makes you look thinner.’ I said, ‘Oh…’ and they got me, when they said I look thinner.”

Amid a tense election climate, Trump took the opportunity to respond to President Joe Biden’s recent remark, which seemed to imply that Trump supporters were “garbage.” Using the remark as fuel, Trump staged an appearance on a garbage truck in Wisconsin. With a high-visibility jacket on, he declared, “This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden,” criticizing the administration’s alleged disregard for Americans. His theatrical response quickly turned into a symbolic retort to Biden’s statement and inspired Vice President Kamala Harris to address the controversy during her own campaign stops.
In response to Biden’s comments, Harris focused her rallies on themes of unity and togetherness. Speaking in key battleground states like North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, she addressed the divisive tone overtaking American politics, calling on citizens to “lock arms together as a people who rise and fall together.” Her efforts highlight a strategic pivot, aiming to counteract Trump’s criticisms and emphasize solidarity ahead of a highly anticipated election, which has already seen a historic turnout with over 57 million early votes cast.
