Trump brings trash truck to rally as Harris distances from Biden’s comment

WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION JUST NOW 5 DAYS AWAY – THE CANDIDATES ARE VISITING AS MANY STATES AS POSSIBLE TO REACH UNDECIDED VOTERS AND MAKE SURE THEIR SUPPORTERS GET OUT TO VOTE. ON WEDNESDAY – REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP CANVASSED NORTH CAROLINA AND WISCONSIN WITH DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS HITTING THOSE TWO STATES AS WELL AS PENNSYLVANIA. 

BUT IT WAS THE WORDS OF PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN THAT HAD BOTH CAMPAIGNS REACTING THROUGHOUT THE DAY. 

AS WE REPORTED YESTERDAY – DURING A VIRTUAL CALL WITH VOTO LATINO ON TUESDAY – PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD THIS TO SAY 

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN 

“Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage…the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” 

REPUBLICANS TAKING THOSE WORDS AS AN ATTACK ON ALL TRUMP SUPPORTERS – WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT ARRIVING TO HIS RALLY IN WISCONSIN IN A GARBAGE OR TRASH TRUCK – AND HOLDING AN IMPROMPTU PRESS CONFERENCE. 

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP 

“I think that the comment made by really both of them because they’re really two of them about being garbage, maybe 250 million people, they shouldn’t be talking. That’s like ‘deplorable’ for Hillary; this is the ‘deplorable’ for Hillary and I think this is worse actually. For Joe Biden to make that statement, it’s really a disgrace.”  

TRUMP THEN CONTINUED TO WEAR HIS ORANGE SAFETY VEST WHILE ADDRESSING THE CROWD IN GREEN BAY DURING A RALLY THAT FEATURED FORMER PACKERS QUARTERBACK BRETT FAVRE. 

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP 

 “I have to begin by saying 250 million Americans are not garbage.” 

EARLIER IN THE DAY, THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY LOOKED TO EXPLAIN BIDEN’S COMMENTS – BEYOND A STATEMENT RELEASED BY THE PRESIDENT – EXPLAINING THAT BIDEN WAS RESPONDING TO REMARKS MADE BY A COMEDIAN ABOUT PUERTO RICO DURING TRUMP’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN RALLY ON SUNDAY. 

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE | WHITE HOSUE PRESS SECRETARY 

“Just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage, which is why he wanted to make sure that we put out a statement that clarified what he meant and what he was trying to say.” 

“He does not view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as garbage. That is not what he views.” 

VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ON HER WAY TO HER CAMPAIGN EVENTS WAS ASKED ABOUT WHERE SHE STANDS ON THE MATTER – SPEAKING TO REPORTERS ON THE TARMAC AT JOINT BASE ANDREWS. 

VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS 

“Listen, I think, first of all, he clarified his comments, but let me be clear: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for. You heard my speech last night and continuously throughout my career. I believe that the work that I do is about representing all the people whether they support me or not.” 

TODAY – FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SET TO HOLD A RALLY IN NEW MEXICO,  THEN HEAD TO NEVADA AND ARIZONA,  WHILE VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WILL HOLD A RALLY IN LAS VEGAS WITH ENTERTAINER JENNIFER LOPEZ. 

AS OF WEDNESDAY NIGHT – ABOUT 59 MILLION AMERICANS HAVE CAST THEIR BALLOTS. WITH  31 MILLION VOTING EARLY IN PERSON AND NEARLY 28 MILLION RETURNING THEIR MAIL-IN BALLOT.

BILLIONAIRE ELON MUSK MUST BE AT AN EMERGENCY COURT HEARING IN PHILADELPHIA TODAY. 

IT COMES AS THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY LOOKS TO STOP THE TESLA AND SPACE-X OWNER FROM AWARDING MILLION-DOLLAR PRIZES TO VOTERS IN THE KEY SWING STATE. 

THE LAWSUIT ALLEGES MUSK AND HIS SUPER PAC ARE OPERATING AN ILLEGAL LOTTERY AND TRYING TO INFLUENCE VOTERS IN THE ELECTION. 

ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, MUSK SAID HE WOULD BE HANDING OUT ONE MILLION DOLLARS A DAY UNTIL ELECTION DAY ON NOVEMBER 5-TH TO VOTERS WHO SIGNED HIS PAC’S PETITION SUPPORTING THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND SECOND AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE U-S — A PIG HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE H-5-N-1 BIRD FLU, ACCORDING TO THE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT. 

THE U-S-D-A ALSO SAYS ITS AWAITING RESULTS FOR TWO OTHER PIGS FROM THE SAME FARM IN OREGON,  WHILE ANOTHER TWO TESTED NEGATIVE. 

THEY SAY THE PIG THAT TESTED POSITIVE DID **NOT** SHOW ANY SIGNS OF ILLNESS. 

THE U-S-D-A SAID THE FIVE PIGS WERE TESTED FOR H-5-N-1, OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, BECAUSE **OTHER** ANIMALS FROM THE SAME FARM HAD TESTED POSITIVE FOR IT. 

OFFICIALS SAY WHILE THERE ARE **NO** CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE U-S PORK SUPPLY, THE POSITIVE TEST IS CONCERNING BECAUSE PIGS CAN GET BIRD FLU AND HUMAN VIRUSES AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH MIGHT CREATE STRAINS OF THE VIRUS THAT INFECT HUMANS MORE EASILY. 

MEANWHILE — THE H-5-N-1 BIRD FLU CONTINUES TO SPREAD RAPIDLY IN DAIRY COWS ACROSS THE NATION.

SUBWAY IS BEING ACCUSED OF “UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES” — OVER HOW MUCH MEAT IS ACTUALLY ON ITS SANDWICHES. 

A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT FILED MONDAY CLAIMS THE RESTAURANT CHAIN’S ADS SHOW CUSTOMERS GETTING AT LEAST THREE TIMES MORE MEAT, THAN THEY ACTUALLY DO. 

IT ARGUES THE COMMERCIALS LEAD CUSTOMERS TO BUY THE FOOD WHEN THEY WOULD NOT HAVE, IF THEY’D EXPECTED TO GET LESS MEAT THAN SHOWN. 

THE LAWSUIT SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS SUBWAY’S STEAK AND CHEESE SANDWICHES, SAYING THE COMPANY’S ADS MAKE IT APPEAR THE SANDWICH QUOTE “CONTAINS AT LEAST 200 PERCENT MORE MEAT THAN THE ACTUAL SANDWICHES THAT CUSTOMERS RECEIVE.”

THE GRAMMYS ARE GETTING A NEW HOME.
