Trump and His Allies Link Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Comment to 2016 ‘Deplorables’ Remark

Within minutes of the clip of President Biden’s remarks going viral, the Trump campaign and others were using it to attack Kamala Harris and Democrats.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

“…On Tuesday, it was President Biden who provided the ammunition, appearing to call Trump supporters “garbage” while talking to Latino allies by video.

…
Mr. Rubio added, as the crowd booed and Mr. Trump shook his head: “He’s talking about the Border Patrol. He’s talking about nurses. He’s talking about teachers. He’s talking about everyday Americans who love their country and want to dream big again and support you, Mr. President.”

Mr. Trump’s team saw the moment from Mr. Biden as similar to the occasion when Mrs. Clinton, speaking at a fund-raiser in late summer during the 2016 campaign, condemned half of Mr. Trump’s supporters as belonging in “what I call the basket of deplorables.” She had added, “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”

…
“That’s terrible,” Mr. Trump said from the stage at his rally. “So you have — remember Hillary, she said ‘Deplorable.’” He added of Mr. Biden, “I’m convinced that he likes me more than he likes Kamala.”

Mr. Trump has repeatedly demonized Democrats, using terms that have included “the enemy within,” “communists,” “Marxists” and “vermin.” He has attacked his critics and threatened some with prosecution if he becomes president again.

… By Tuesday night, the Trump campaign was using the Biden comments to appeal to his supporters. Mr. Trump sent a fund-raising email with the subject line: “You are not garbage! I love you! You are the best our nation has to offer.”

Mr. Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, who has been the former president’s most aggressive defender, posted on X about the remark, writing: “This is disgusting. Kamala Harris and her boss Joe Biden are attacking half of the country. There’s no excuse for this. I hope Americans reject it.” …”

Republicans and right-wing media live for this shit - it's an easy way to keep their base riled up and angry. Not surprisingly, Fox News is all over this Biden remark, as I'm sure are OAN and Newsmax and other conservative media. Having said that, the only people who are going to care are Trump's own supporters, and they were already voting for him anyway. Nobody outside that base is going to be swayed by this.

And I'll also add that it is the height of hypocrisy for Republicans to get all offended at this remark given they way they all talk about Democrats. Hell, at Trump's NYC rally they threatened to kill Democrats, called them evil and satanic, and all sorts of crap. But of course they were the ones doing the attacking then, so it's all OK. But let something like this happen and they are immediately outraged. It's truly ridiculous.

Trump: “Kamala Harris is a nasty, dumb, low IQ skank who blew her way to the top and has pimp handlers and she’s really not even Black. I also think that Hitler did good things, immigrants have dirty genes and are poisoning our country, liberals are human vermin and are the enemy within on whom I plan to sic the American military when I win. And no, I absolutely will not denounce the hateful Nazi rhetoric from my MSG rally the other night because there were many fine Nazis on both sides and besides I agree with them.”

Biden: “Trump supporters are garbage.”

The same joke three times! It’s improved every time well done!
 
Personally, I’m way more annoyed by the attempt to contextualize the “Trump supporters are garbage” than I am by the gaffe itself. If Biden had been more willing to take off the gloves a lot sooner and call those stupid motherfuckers exactly what they are a lot sooner, he might still be the nominee.

But yeah, anyone who thinks that this moves one single solitary vote in either direction needs to log off for the day and either go touch some grass or smoke some.

You know he’s still President of the United States right?

Tactically, what’s the upside with having him speak vs. the downside risk? Have him present, have him give written endorsements, etc., but I don’t think the reward outweighs the risk in a public speaking environment.
 
1. Thankful and eternally grateful for everything Biden has done. Brought us out of both the Covid pandemic, both with regards to health and financial, and ushered us out of the Trump presidency despite all of Trump’s attempts to subvert democracy.
2. His comment was clumsy, benign but most of all true.
3. With that said, please don’t make anymore comments. We get what you mean and understand and agree. But Trump was taking a standing 8 count after the MSG racism, and Kamala’s speech was knocking him down again. The comment has given them a small out. We can say this will only resonate with MAGA, but at the gym this morning, every single tv that was set to news was talking about Biden’s garbage comment. Not Kamala’s great speech in front of a bigly crowd and not Trump’s MSG rally. All Biden and garbage. I get Joe wants to be present and it really was relatively benign, but it has charged the news cycle. And the press is all about giving Trump a pass on his day in day out chaos and focusing on the minutiae of the Harris campaign. Last thing you want to do is throw them, and Trump, softballs. <\vent>
4. Let’s get more coverage of Kamala in Raleigh and Charlotte and surrogates elsewhere and get the news cycle back! 😀

I already took your advice just in case.

Have you somehow missed that the owners of the media have their thumbs on the scale? We aren't getting the news cycle back.

Only in the right wing bubble. Nobody else gives a shit given what comes from Trump on a daily basis. For that matter, the right has said they’re perfectly okay with a few mean tweets, so this quip shouldn’t faze them at all either.

I identity as “I don’t give a fuck who or what you are, this is an anonymous online Internet message board, if you want to go out of your way to talk shit, I’m more than happy to oblige.” Your better bet would be to drop it, and enjoy the rest of your posting on this board, because you’re totally a brand new poster who just happened to randomly find this board!
