Donald Trump broke his silence minutes after news broke that President Joe Biden called MAGA supporters ‘garbage.’
Trump was speaking to thousands of fans gathered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Tuesday evening.
The 81-year-old commander-in-chief was responding to a comedian at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday comparing Puerto Rico to a ‘floating island of garbage.’
Biden said on a campaign zoom Tuesday night: ‘The only garbage I see floating out there is his [Trump’s] supporters.’
It immediately sparked backlash from MAGA fans, including Trump himself who addressed it in the middle of his rally.
‘Wow, that’s what [Biden] says… garbage. I think it’s worse [than deplorables],’ he fired back.
‘Please forgive him for he knoweth not what he say. Honestly he doesn’t. And I’m convinced that he likes me more than he likes Kamala,’ he continued.

‘Just moments ago, Joe Biden stated that our supporters are garbage. I hope their campaign is about to apologize,’ said Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
‘We are not garbage, we are patriots who love America.’
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris called Trump ‘unstable’ and slammed his ‘obsession’ with ‘grievance’ and ‘revenge’ from The Ellipse with the White House as her backdrop, seven days before what could be one of the closest races in history.
The Democratic candidate told the crowd that Trump stood ‘at this very spot’ on January 6 to ‘incite’ a mob to storm the Capitol.
She also recalled claims the former president said ‘so what’ when the rioters chanted to hang Mike Pence.
‘We know who Donald Trump is. He is the person who stood at this very spot nearly 4 years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election.’
The candidates are separated by less than one point in most of the swing states that will ultimately decide the winner, while the betting markets show Harris’ chances of winning have plummeted.
More than 50 million Americans have already voted in the race that will go down to the wire.
