Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz recently spoke out against former President Donald Trump's remarks, calling them unpatriotic and detrimental to the country's image. During a campaign rally in Phoenix, Arizona, Walz condemned Trump for referring to America as the 'garbage can of the world,' a statement made by Trump during a rally in Tempe, Arizona.
Walz expressed his disbelief and disappointment in Trump's characterization of the United States, a nation that has long been seen as a beacon of democracy and human rights. He described Trump's comments as both pathetic and unpatriotic, accusing the former president of consistently 'trash-talking' the country.
Vice President Kamala Harris also weighed in on Trump's remarks, criticizing his tendency to belittle the country and its people. She emphasized the importance of having a president who uplifts and celebrates the nation's strengths, rather than one who constantly undermines its reputation.
Trump's statement that the U.S. is a 'garbage can for the world' has sparked controversy and drawn sharp criticism from political figures across the spectrum. The debate over the country's standing on the global stage continues to be a point of contention in the ongoing political discourse.
