President Biden Refers to Trump Supporters as ‘Garbage’

In a startling campaign call Tuesday night, President Joe Biden took a new low in political discourse by labeling supporters of Donald Trump as “garbage.” The comment came during an appeal for support, where Biden sought to denounce Trump by leveling sweeping insults at those who back him.

Biden remarked, “Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” referencing recent remarks at a Trump rally, where a comedian reportedly insulted Puerto Rico. Biden’s follow-up was a stark escalation, stating, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” He went on to accuse Trump of “demonization” and actions he claimed were “un-American.”

The attack on millions of American citizens was met with swift backlash. Donald Trump Jr. responded, pointing out the media’s selective outrage. “The media spent all week crying about a joke from a comedian,” Trump Jr. stated, while calling out Democratic leaders for their silence on attacks against conservatives. “Kamala Harris refused to condemn it. And now Kamala’s biggest Democrat ally, Joe Biden, is calling all Trump supporters ‘garbage.’ Absolutely disgusting!”

Biden’s Strategy of Division

• Dismissing Millions: Biden’s insult targeted a wide swath of Americans, echoing his infamous “MAGA Republicans” jab and Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” remark. Such rhetoric ignores the fact that over 70 million Americans voted for Trump in 2020.

• Timing and Political Risks: Biden’s comments come in the closing days of a campaign season where the country is divided, and undecided voters are still weighing their options.

• Double Standards in the Media: Biden’s remarks highlight a familiar double standard in political commentary, where media outlets quickly downplay offensive statements from Democratic leaders but amplify any criticism directed at them.

A Nation in Need of Unity, Not Division

Biden’s “garbage” comment runs directly against his own calls for “unity” and “healing,” a message Kamala Harris has attempted to emphasize in her campaign. As polls show Trump gaining momentum, Biden’s latest approach appears desperate, undercutting the very values he claims to uphold.

For Americans weary of political games, this rhetoric is a harsh reminder of why unity remains out of reach. Biden’s message of division has only intensified as voters demand real answers to the nation’s pressing issues solutions that are clearly not found in baseless insults or cheap shots.
