Uh, the comment was, "The only garbage floating out there is his supporters." Seems pretty clear to me what he meant.

The gaslighting from this administration is insane...

[Spyder_King]

He literally Was calling Trump SUPPORTERS garbage. He didn't say the comedian was garbage. He didn't say the comedians joke was garbage. He called Trump supporters garbage clear as day. You are putting words in his mouth

[Kilgore]

I love how KJP just flat out lies like it’s her right.

[chicken]

Trump never said Puerto Rico was garbage. Someone else said that. Biden said Trump supporters were garbage. let the fun begin!

[KevinB]

This lady comes here and lie everyday is so embarrassing

[rolandvillareal]

Worse than even being called garbage is the lying like a coward after, instead of just apologizing.

[sethmorris]

Puerto Rico is overflowing with garbage and hasn’t been receiving the necessary help for about 3 years now. Now people seem to be caring about the problem. Saying something harsh is better than doing nothing.

[bobandtams]

He said Trump's supporters or garbage....What he said can't be erased

[tysonboyle]

This poor lady deserves our sympathy. Can you imagine having to lie non stopfor 4 years. I hope she gets the therapy she needs after Trump takes office.
