'Daily Show' Trashes Trump's Halloween 'Costume' With Wickedly 'Perfect' Metaphor

Ronny Chieng made waste of the former president's garbage truck stunt.

Daily Show correspondent Ronny Chieng joked that Donald Trump  got into the Halloween spirit on Thursday after the GOP nominee put on a reflective vest and hopped into a garbage truck for a campaign stunt earlier this week.

Its not just kids dressing up in costumes, its grown men, quipped Chieng before playing clips from Trumps photo-op in Wisconsin.

He continued, OK so you dressed up as a garbage man because you say Biden called your supporters garbage and youre saying theyre not garbage but youre taking out the garbage which is someone else but you wont tell us who it is and also no one should call anyone garbage but you just did because youre the garbage man. So, in other words, the perfect metaphor.

Trumps garbage photo-op arrived after a comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage at the GOP nominees Madison Square Garden campaign rally on Sunday.

President Joe Biden , in response, said, The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and its un-American. 

A White House spokesperson would later clarify that the president was referring to the rhetoric shared at the event in New York City.

Trump, who missed the door handle and nearly slipped while entering the garbage truck, told reporters he would say who the real garbage is but we wont say that.

Chieng, later in his monologue, used the trashy stunt to mock Trumps vow to protect women whether the women like it or not on Wednesday.

So Trumps reaching out to women as successfully as he reached out to that garbage truck door, he quipped.
