The event quickly sparked reactions from media, including MSNBC’s Morning Joe, where hosts voiced strong criticism of Trump’s tactics.

Trump’s arrival in Green Bay featured him riding in a garbage truck, which was emblazoned with “TRUMP” and “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” banners.

As cameras rolled, Trump reminded his supporters of Biden’s “garbage” remark, a comment that has stirred discussions across political lines.

Biden made the statement in response to a joke at a Trump rally, though he later clarified that he was only referring to the comedian involved.

The event caught the attention of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, where host Joe Scarborough took a fiery approach in discussing Trump’s appearance in the garbage truck.

In his monologue, Scarborough imitated Trump, exaggerating his outrage over Biden’s comment, which Scarborough described as a “misstatement” that Biden had promptly corrected. “Trump calls the press ‘scum’ every day,” Scarborough said, highlighting Trump’s history of critical remarks about the media. “And then you turn on Fox News again — ‘Oh! How could anybody do this? I’ve never seen anybody do this before?’” Scarborough mocked, while co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist appeared slightly uncomfortable.

Shifting his focus, Scarborough referenced January 6, calling out Trump’s alleged inaction during the events at the Capitol. “One of the people saying that yesterday on Fox News stood by while Donald Trump watched violence erupt on January the 6th,” he remarked. Scarborough concluded, “The gaslighting never ends.”

As the presidential race intensifies, recent polls indicate Kamala Harris trailing or polling closely to Trump in crucial demographics, especially in swing states that could determine the election outcome.

Trump’s strong base of support, highlighted in his recent rally at Madison Square Garden, has drawn varied reactions.

Following the rally, Brzezinski downplayed the event’s significance, saying, “Seeing all those people doesn’t mean he’s going to win the race.”

She added, “But my point is it’s discouraging that so many people would gather and rally to hate, to hate speech in America. It’s discouraging, and it hurts.”

Meanwhile, Morning Joe has been a consistent source of support for Joe Biden, but even the show’s hosts have recently questioned Biden’s age and mental fitness.

In a recent interview, Brzezinski referred to Biden as the “presumptive” Democratic nominee, prompting a sharp response from the 81-year-old president. “I’m more than presumptive, I’m gonna be the Democratic nominee,” Biden replied.

Trump’s use of the dumpster truck imagery and his continued focus on Biden’s “garbage” comment emphasize his strategy to rally support among voters who feel sidelined by mainstream media and Democratic leaders.

As both sides prepare for the final stretch of campaigning, the exchanges on Morning Joe highlight the continued polarization, with Trump supporters and detractors each reinforcing their positions.
