Donald Trump promptly reacted to President Biden labeling his supporters as “garbage,” humorously suggesting that Biden’s advancing age might be the reason for his unawareness of his own statements.
On stage during a rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, Trump was informed of Biden’s provocative remark, with Florida Senator Marco Rubio acting as the messenger.
Initially, the former president deemed Biden’s slight as “horrific” and proceeded to liken it to Hillary Clinton categorizing Trump supporters as “deplorable” and “irredeemable” in the 2016 election, asserting that Biden’s words were even more damaging.

As previously reported, Biden was engaged in a video conversation on Tuesday when he remarked, “Donald Trump has no integrity. He couldn’t care less about the Latino community … only the other day, someone at his rally referred to Puerto Rico as a floating island of refuse? … The only refuse I observe out there is his supporters.”
While the White House attempted to clarify the statements, claiming Biden was merely referring to Trump and the comedian who made the Puerto Rico quip, Trump wasted no time seizing the opportunity … questioning Biden’s mental faculties.
Trump humorously addressed the audience by stating … “Please excuse him, for he does not comprehend what he uttered. … It’s dreadful to comment like that, but genuinely, he is unaware. He truly, sincerely, doesn’t.”

On the other hand, Vice President Kamala Harris is separating herself from Biden’s remarks, informing reporters today … “I firmly oppose any disparagement of individuals based on their voting choices. You heard my speech last night, and I continually emphasize throughout my career that my work is about representing everyone, whether or not they are my supporters.”
