Former President Donald Trump made President Joe Biden's “garbage” gaffe a central theme of his campaign rallies on Wednesday. He also continued to take shots at his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Her gross incompetence disqualifies her as president of the United States,” Trump said Wednesday night during a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. “Nobody respects her, nobody trusts her, nobody takes her seriously.”

Trump rode to the event in Wisconsin in the front seat of a personalized garbage truck, wearing a neon orange trash collector vest. The move referenced Biden's statement on Tuesday in which he called supporters of the former president “trash.”

“How do you like my garbage truck?” Trump asked a group of reporters. “This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.”

The Harris campaign mocked the stunt, and rapid response director Ammar Moussa compared the moment to Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis' failed 1988 photo op in a military tank at a campaign stop in Detroit.

While still wearing the bright vest on stage, Trump began his evening address by speaking about Biden's comments: “You're treating our entire campaign like garbage,” Trump said of the president and Harris. And he complained that Democrats called him a “Nazi” and “fascist” after his former chief of staff John Kelly said in interviews that Trump had previously spoken favorably about Adolf Hitler.

Trump, in turn, did his part to condemn.

“Without question, my supporters are of a far higher quality than (Biden and Harris),” he said at the opening of his event in Green Bay.

The former president himself has used the words “trash” and “scum” in the past to describe his political opponents. He also described Harris and her allies as “Marxists,” communists and people with “low IQs” — insults he repeated throughout the day Wednesday.

“Some people you just can’t get along with,” Trump told his supporters in Rocky Mount, North Carolina
