Vice Presidential hopeful Tim Walz has found it easy to deconstruct former President Donald Trump, especially after his embarrassing attempts to open the door of a garbage truck. As we know by now, Trump likes to “dance” and he did a half-step backward when he opened the door, which helpfully swung partially closed on him as he was climbing in the truck.
As noted on X (formerly Twitter) by journalist Aaron Rupar, Walz, speaking in Detroit, skewered Trump for his klutziness.
“Tim Walz: ‘Donald Trump said, ‘They don’t build cars. They take them out of the box and assemble them. A child could do it.’ He couldn’t open the damn door to a garbage truck.”

And, Rupar notes that Walz wasn’t done. Not even.
“Walz: ‘Donald, who by the way got in that garbage truck wearing French cuffs with cufflinks. No one I know wears those things, to begin with, but trying to tell us he’s a regular guy … ‘”

Walz had considerably more to say, in fact.
“Donald, who by the way, got in that garbage truck, wearing French cuffs with cufflinks. No one I know wears those things to begin with, but trying to tell us he’s a regular guy, and then he turns around to tell us, ‘Oh I have a concept of a plan to help you, concept of a plan to help you with healthcare. You know what his concept of a plan is? First day in office he had an executive order to repeal the ACA. He signed on to a lawsuit to repeal the ACA, and Congress tried 60 times to repeal the ACA. The only reason we have healthcare for so many millions of Americans, is John McCain had the courage to go over there and say ‘No.’ … the only thing Donald Trump knows about working-class people, middle-class people, is how to take advantage of them. That’s the entire set of knowledge that he has.”
Trump has been privileged all his life, so it’s hilarious that he’s stumbling along while trying to portray himself as a man of the people.
Folks on X are already well aware of this.

It’s fun to think about that. Walz is definitely good at this game. I’m pretty sure he’d get under Trump’s skin regularly. That could be the comic relief we all need right now.
