'Weird and desperate': Critics laugh as Trump rides in MAGA-branded garbage truck

Former President Donald Trump engaged in a bizarre stunt ahead of his rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday: riding around in a garbage truck with his campaign logo printed on the side of it.

The truck was meant to draw attention to the campaign's grievance over President Joe Biden supposedly referring to Trump's supporters as "garbage" on a campaign call Tuesday evening. There is some dispute over what he said, and the White House has sought to clarify the "garbage" he referred to was the rhetoric of right-wing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage" at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally. The joke outraged many and sent the GOP into panic mode.

‘Take a blowtorch’: Trump cronies share how they plan to end ObamaCare

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson say they have big plans to implement "massive" changes to the entire U.S. food, drug, and health care system — from killing ObamaCare and all its protections, to handing over control of all health, food, and drug policies and agencies to conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—and they're openly bragging about it just days before Election Day.

Republicans conspired to block every one of Barack Obama's initiatives even before the 44th President was sworn in to office in January, 2009. They have spent years promising to "repeal and replace" ObamaCare, or just end the Affordable Care Act entirely. Donald Trump for over a decade has repeatedly vowed to kill ObamaCare, and repeatedly said he would end it and unveil his new health care plan soon, before admitting during the presidential debate all he had were mere "concepts of a plan."
