Donald Trump has changed his response to Joe Biden's comments about his supporters, moving from a call for forgiveness to a more aggressive stance. Biden referred to Trump's supporters as "garbage" during a call, which sparked backlash from Trump and his campaign. Initially, Trump suggested that supporters should forgive Biden, comparing his remarks to Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" comment. However, he later criticized Biden and Kamala Harris on social media, stating they are unfit to lead America and accusing them of hate. Biden clarified that his comments were aimed at the rhetoric from Trump's rally, not his supporters. Meanwhile, Trump's running mate, JD Vance, condemned Biden's remarks, emphasizing that many Americans are struggling and should not be labeled as "garbage."
