Trump’s Struggle to Enter Garbage Truck Sparks Viral Commentary on His Fitness for Leadership
Footage of former US President Donald Trump climbing clumsily into a rubbish truck wearing a fluorescent safety vest has raised concern among social media users about his health. Trump wore the high-visibility item, traditionally linked with garbage-men, during a campaign stop in Wisconsin, reportedly in response to President Joe Biden calling his supporters “garbage”. Matt McDermott, senior vice president of Whitman Insight Strategies, shared footage on social media of Trump missing the truck’s handle and appearing to be unstable, with the caption: “Trump seems to be really struggling physically”. Commenting on the video, attorney Jeffrey Evan Gold said: “[He] just gave right out there”. Defender of Trump’s move, Alana Mastrangelo, a journalist at Breitbart News, countered with: “Joe Biden calls millions of Americans ‘garbage.’ The next day Trump gets picked up… by a garbage truck. He’s playing chess. They’re playing checkers”.
