Former President Donald Trump urged a New Mexico rally on Thursday to not make him “waste a whole damn half a day here,” by voting for his Democratic opponent.
The state hasn’t voted for a Republican on the presidential level since 2004. Trump suggested that he would win a number of Democratic states as long as the vote was “honest” as he continues to make his false election fraud claims.
With less than a week to go in the US presidential election race, Kamala Harris and Trump are making their final pitches to voters.
The Democratic presidential nominee has hit back at her Republican rival after he vowed to “protect” women “whether the women like it or not” at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Wednesday.
“Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body. Whether you like it or not,” Harris posted on X.
In a bizarre stunt prior to his speech, Trump had posed in a garbage truck dressed as a sanitation worker in an attempt to troll Harris and Joe Biden after the latter allegedly called MAGA voters “garbage” in anger over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s already-notorious Madison Square Garden joke about Puerto Rico.

When the Republican presidential nominee finally took the stage in Green Bay, he was still glorying in his garbage man stunt and wearing the vest, which made him look even more like a haunted pumpkin than usual.
But then it was all business as usual, bragging about Madison Square Garden, berating the Wisconsinites who had bothered to show up to support him, raving about BLT sandwiches and lying about immigration and American history before doing his weird double jerk dance to The Village People and heading for the exit.
There was no question what the line of the night was, however…

1730364600Donald Trump prolongs uproar over Puerto Rico slur by posing in garbage truck
Donald Trump got off his private plane in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Wednesday evening and, donning a bright orange high-visibility safety vest, got into a garbage truck in a desperate attempt to troll Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
With Election Day looming, both the Republican and Democratic candidates are hoping to leverage the racist comments made against Puerto Rico at Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden on Sunday, when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called the US territory “a floating island of garbage”, potentially alienating millions of Latino voters.
Working hard to dissociate himself from the controversy, Trump has leapt on a gaffe President Biden made on Tuesday in which he responded to the bad taste joke by suggesting the only “garbage” he could see were Trump supporters trashing their fellow citizens.
Trump’s publicity stunt truck in Wisconsin – which he struggled to get into – was emblazoned with his campaign logo and the former president clearly enjoyed leaning out of its window (recalling his recent McDonald’s drive-thru photo-op) to ask the press: “How do you like my garbage truck?”
He then, inevitably, denied knowing anything about Hinchcliffe before being sped around the runway tarmac in circles for no good reason.
Vivek Ramaswamy also got in on the act on his behalf and his supporters appear to have delighted at it as a last-minute Halloween costume idea.
