Based on the 74.2 million votes that Trump received in the 2020 election, according to the Federal Elections Commission, the sitting president called nearly half of the country’s voters "garbage."
Trump didn’t hesitate to tweet a response.
"While I am running a campaign of positive solutions to save America, Kamala Harris is running a campaign of hate," Trump wrote. "Now, on top of everything, Joe Biden calls our supporters "garbage." You can’t lead America if you don’t love the American People. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have shown they are both unfit to be President of the United States.

"Wow. That's terrible," Trump said, before recalling Hillary Clinton’s infamous "deplorable" remarks just weeks before the 2016 election. "And then she said irredeemable. That didn't work out."
"Garbage, I think, is worse," Trump said. "But he doesn't know. You have to please forgive him."
Biden’s remark came while Harris had her last major campaign event — which was near the White House.

Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump's supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it," Biden tweeted. "His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That's all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don't reflect who we are as a nation."
