Former President Donald Trump didn’t take kindly to President Joe Biden’s remarks when he appeared to call Trump supporters “trash.”

“The only garbage I see floating out there is (Trump) supporters,” Biden said.

Trump took to X, formerly Twitter, to say he ran a positive campaign, unlike his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

This makes Biden and Harris unfit to be president, Trump said.

“While I’m leading a campaign of positive solutions to save America, Kamala Harris is leading a campaign of hate,” Trump tweeted. “Now, of all things, Joe Biden calls our supporters ‘trash.’ You can’t lead America if you don’t love the American people. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have shown that they are both unfit to serve as President of the United States.

“I am proud to lead the largest, broadest and most important political coalition in American history,” he wrote. “We are home to historic numbers of Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans and citizens of all races, religions, colors and creeds. It is my desire to be the president of all the people.

“I think trash is worse,” Trump added. “But he doesn’t know that. You must please forgive him.

“Please forgive him for not knowing what he said,” Trump said. “These people are terrible, terrible, terrible for saying such a thing. But he really doesn’t know that. Honestly, that’s not the case. And I’m convinced he loves me more than Kamala. But it’s a terrible thing.

The White House released a statement regarding Biden’s remarks.
