So, Donald Trump dressed up as a garbage man yesterday.
Yes, you read that correctly. He literally put a Trump logo, a Make America Great Again flag, and the AMERICAN FLAG on a garbage truck and rode around in circles on a tarmac.
Here’s the video:
After posing for his photo op, he struggled to get back into the truck.

He took press questions from the passenger seat, saying, “This truck is in honor of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.”
And of course, he repeated his favorite phrase: “We’re a nation in decline.”

“I don’t understand why they keep dressing him up in costumes.”
