In an attempt to make political hay off comments from President Joe Biden aimed at a comedian who spoke at a rally for convicted felon/former president Donald Trump, the 2024 Trump campaign thought it would be a great idea to stage a photo-op on Wednesday with a garbage truck.
But the desperate bid for attention nearly led to a massive face-plant for Trump, who was momentarily unable to grab the door handle and came close to slipping and going face-first into the asphalt.
Here’s the video:
At a Wisconsin campaign rally later in the evening, Trump tried to shrug off the humiliation by blaming it on the size of the vehicle.
“I said how the hell do you get into this truck? It’s way up high. I said they didn’t have to buy it that big, right? You have to get it that big?”
“So the first stair’s like up here,” Trump claimed, placing his arm at his waist, even though the stair was actually at knee height. “I said, ‘Shit.’ So I had the adrenaline going and I made it.”
Oh, he made it, all right. He wound up as the butt of a joke that has gone viral on several social media platforms and caused new questions about the wisdom of possibly electing a 78-year-old man to be president, especially since he continues to show signs of serious mental and physical deterioration.
A sampling of the online comments proves that whoever set up the garbage truck photo-op made an enormous mistake.
Someone needs to come get Grampy Trump and take him to an assisted living facility.
