The all white has racist meaning written all over it.
White is pure, clean......and yes, whites get to "take out the trash".

(30,214 posts)"I don't think that Americans are garbage... I didn't say that we have 250 M people that are garbage"
Everyone was wondering about that number 250M. It is clearly not the population of the USA... which is over 330M... nor is it anywhere close the the number of his supporters ( even he cannot think that 250 M people are voting for him ).
However, there are 237M white people in the US as of 2022... it's lower than that now, mostly through lower birth rates and the boomer generation dying off. But in Trump's mind... 237M... close enough. 250M white people... maybe a few "good" minorities. All the rest are "garbage people" and he is the trash man coming to pick up the toss out ( deport ) the trash ( anyone not-white or who doesn't lick his shoe lifts ).

(23,023 posts)Biden got 81 million votes, leaving about 250 million Americans who did not vote for Biden.
Trump is now claiming that those 250 million people did not vote for Biden because they actually supported Trump.
Yes, it is twisted, demented lies, but outrageous lies seem to work for this guy.

(24,507 posts)think of my own view of the Trump garbage stunt.
Campaign vehicles usually are full of volunteer spokespersons for the candidate or have the candidate's close associates on board. So when Trump climbs onto a garbage truck to drive it as a campaign vehicle, it tells me that he has nothing to offer in the campaign but garbage. It makes him the Garbage King, carrying garbage around with him.
