Just like he did with McDonald's.

Taking over the job and its image makes him
look like a ruler visiting the peons to prove
the job is in his total control.

It also takes up image and conversation space
in the media.

He's only highlighting his own mess. And he's not running against Biden.

This is Trump trying to prove he's an Everyman, and instead, he looks like an idiot. He has, in one fell swoop, completely invalidated the non-issue of Biden's comments, likely pissed off a lot of people who make their living as sanitation engineers (possibly once Trumpers, but its likely that this is going to change that), and only emphasized the remarks from MSG. I really have to wonder what idiot on his campaign staff ever let him do this.
