Trump campaign faces backlash over handling of controversial comments on America and Puerto Rico

A co-host of "The View" criticized Donald Trump's campaign for mishandling recent comments about America being a "garbage can." Trump referenced a slip by President Joe Biden, who seemed to call MAGA supporters "garbage," echoing past remarks by Hillary Clinton. Former Trump communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin labeled the campaign's response as "political malpractice." She noted that Trump's rally featured a speaker who insulted Puerto Rico, prompting backlash from celebrities and Republicans concerned about voter reactions. Griffin pointed out that Trump’s attempt to shift blame back to Democrats only highlighted his own controversial statements. She described the campaign's strategy as one of the "dumbest" moves she has seen.
