Tim Walz Rips Trump’s Garbage Truck Flub: ‘Dude’s Nearly 80’

www.thedailybeast.com Tim Walz Rips Trump’s Garbage Truck Flub: ‘Dude’s Nearly 80’

The vice presidential candidate also portrayed Donald Trump as an elderly serial abuser of women.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz mocked Donald Trump Thursday for his clumsy garbage truck gimmick.

“This dude’s nearly 80-years-old,” Walz said at a campaign event in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. “He damn near killed himself getting into a garbage truck.”

The crowd laughed at the Democrat’s reference to a Wednesday incident involving the Trump campaign’s attempt at retribution over President Joe Biden’s garbage gaffe that inflamed MAGA supporters. The GOP nominee donned an orange safety vest and planned a ride in a Trump-branded garbage truck.

I'mma go out on a limb and say that Trump has never emptied a garbage can in his entire life.
- Hold on just a minute now, I'm sure he must have emptied himself at least once.
  
  Involuntarily, if so.
  
  It doesn't count when it's in the pants and handlers have to clean you up.
- Jesus fucking Christ... You... You might be right. You actually might be 100% correct.
  This is what it's come to... This isn't a joke. This is an actual possibility. I can't believe what this country has come to. I honestly can't.
  
  Can't even close a fucking umbrella.
- Let alone open a door.

So biden’s “gaffe”.
I’m just gonna go ahead say he should have been like “I said what I said. You got a problem with that?”
Trump supporters are awful people. Period. Full stop. You cannot be a good person, or even a not-bad person and support trump. He is directly responsible for the deaths of over 1 million Americans. He is an insurrectionist. He is a rapist. A liar. A business fraud. A cheat. He’s blatantly racist.
If you support trump, you support a fascist. That makes you a fascist. It is as simple as that.
It’s obvious the not-actually-a-joke made Biden angry. Some things should make you angry.
- The reason it is dumb is because, with a close race, getting your base out to vote is important, and this can be used as a rallying cry. It's just like insulting your opponent before some sporting even and it's used a locker room fodder to rule people up.
  We learned in 2016 with the deplorable comments, which was accurate, was a mistake. This is a mistake too, no matter how accurate you think it is.
  
  It can also fire up your base.
  Lets. It forget that Biden was responding to a speaker at Trump’s MSG rally calling Puerto Rico garbage.
  What idiot decided the democrats needed to pull their punches while trump and the republicans get to call america garbage? Or any of the actually-vile shit they spew on a regular basis?
  Trump is a fascist. Period. Full stop. Anyone who supports him is also a fascist. And fascists are garbage human beings.
  Besides which, they were already out voting. They can’t vote any harder.
  
  Yes, but the fake outrage is just insufferable. For some reason the Democratic Party has to be perfect or pearls will be clutched; meanwhile the "liberal media" and the Enlightened Centrists (TM) are just fine with it if the Republican Party is literally flinging their feces (hey, they spread it around at the Capitol during their terrorist action on J6, so I guess we already got there and this isn't even really all that hyperbolic) and lighting their farts on fire while not talking any policy whatsoever....
- I don't think it was a gaffe at all. It may have been a Freudian slip, but he said what he meant. I'm disappointed he back tracked and Harris supported that, but such is the game of politics.
- Trump's ass-suckers keep trying to flip the narrative and it's a complete failure.
- It's so stupid how one sided the media is being. Trump openly admires Hitler, blatantly tries to overthrow democracy, and gets the benefit of doubt or not even any coverage at all by most major outlets. Biden calls somebody garbage and it gets treated as a serious scandal.
  
  And the context was they called PR garbage for no other reason than not being white enough; and he was responding to that.
  Like, no. “Have you seen trump supporters” is a fair criticism to that.

I love Walz so very much. Ever since someone mentioned the Red Foreman comparison, I cannot unsee it.
It's so fucking hilarious. This guy is the perfect antidote to so much magabrainz bullshit....
- I saw the comment I believe you're referencing.
  I repeated it to everyone in my life who would be even remotely receptive and they all loved it.
  Hopefully the original commenter is proud.
  
  Yes, same here!

Trump is a garbage man. He's a garbage delivery man.

If you watch trump get in, it looks like he fails to grab the door handle the first time (like he has crappy vision), and takes 2 attempts to grab the handle
Say what you want about Biden, but Biden could grab the handle in 1 go
- Walz is not wrong when he says the guy nearly killed himself. I think there's a reason that fashy gramps was getting into the PASSENGER side of the vehicle. He definitely should not be driving....

- I've said it before, and I'll say it again. How squeaky clean must the guy be if the worst thing you can say about him is "oMg hE'S tOo oLD to PLay vIDEo gAMeS!!1"
  Absolutely solid VP pick
- Plenty of 60-year-olds play games. They were in their 20's and 30's as gaming matured. The N64 and PS1 target audience was people who are now in their 50's and 60's.
  
  That's me!
  
  Well, some of us were already into the PC master race direction and didn't fall for the consoles. :D
  I thought Tim Walz's stream was fun. But I would, being 56 and OLD.
- My dude....video games have existed for half a century now... he was probably playing plenty of Atari in his youth. OMG do you actually think kids and teens are the only ones playing them in 2024? Have you been living under a rock since the 90s?
  
  there are people that have never played video games in their lives. The ones I met also don't see how watching netflix all day or just being glued to the phone are exactly the same when you simplify it. Bright panel of pixels that trick you into feeling emotions. Method of entertainment alone or with friends.
  
  Have you been living under a rock since the 90s?
  Is it still the 90's under this rock? Can i move there? I miss Saturday morning cartoons and walking straight onto an airplane.
- That's the best you got? The other VP candidate wants women to be slaves to their rape babies, but Walz is "too old" for video games?
  You're a fucking farce.
- I'm 55 and really like my Steam Deck
- I hope you have the most boring elderly years - filled with procedural crime dramas and dry toast with cottage cheese. And absolutely no thinking about anything remotely fun!
  
  Hey cottage cheese on toast is great, that's my breakfast most days. With pepper and nutritional yeast usually.
- Hey look a dipshyt in the wild!
- Can you not make a fool of yourself for five minutes, colonialist? Sheesh!
  
  Through the magic of blocking, yes.
  
  It hurt itself in it's confusion
  I'm thinking no.
- Well obviously when you put it right against liar, fraud, rapist, convicted felon, it sounds tame... but who knows ! 5 days left to discover he uses emacs ! or worse, Windows ! imagine the scandal
