Former President Donald Trump addressed a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, a crucial battleground state, where he was joined by former NFL quarterback Brett Favre as a guest speaker. Trump made headlines for wearing a distinctive highlighter orange and yellow vest, which he had also worn earlier while sitting inside a branded garbage truck.
The rally was marked by Trump's response to recent comments made by President Joe Biden, who appeared to refer to Trump's supporters as 'garbage.' These remarks by Biden have stirred controversy and provided Trump and his allies with an opportunity to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign, suggesting that they look down on Americans who support the former president.
Democrats have been quick to clarify that Biden is not the current presidential nominee, and Vice President Harris has reiterated her respect for all voters, regardless of their political affiliations. They have also criticized what they perceive as a double standard, pointing to Trump's history of making controversial and offensive remarks, including those deemed racist and misogynistic.
The ongoing exchange of remarks between the two political camps underscores the intense polarization and scrutiny surrounding the current political landscape in the United States.
