  1. Trump and his camp invited that comedian to the rally to talk , oh Trump and his camp did not get him off stage or come to talk against the remarks he said then only after the fact that they hear alot of backlash from it , and the people they invited to talk didnt say to much but hated on Kamila, and Trump even said himself he dont have any plans , she made him look bad at the face off debate ….his character is lacking big time , but for all women listen up , how u let a person take ur right away basically of if u get pregnant u have to have the baby , what about if one is to young and she made a mistake, she get no second chance , what about rape victims , what about women health reasons if they were to have it , and then when they do its up to govt to tell u what to do ….really. back to the comedian so this is his click that invited him , make people wonder about him and his clickthen …. because that was not a joke , and was not funny , if one is racist it maybe funny to them only . Because that was racist , and really they saying oh Puerto Rico cant vote so it want matter , true on that but wrong … because it does matter and there are alot of puerto ricans and latinos period across in United States….. Pennsylvania, Cali, Miami etc and they all should wanna vote and should vote .

  2. You cry and scream about a comedian saying a stupid joke, now Joe Biden a Democratic president just call all Republican supporters of Donald Trump garbage. But I guess you're not going to say anything about that because it's a double standard when you're home team say something bad

  3. Over thought. This joke bombed. It was about as thought out as Biden calling us garbage. I wasnt going to vote for Biden or the hoe anyway so i am not offended. So if you are offended by a stupid so called comedians bad juke then you are a little thin in the skin. But maybe voting for someone that knows how to build and fix problems will help the issue of the landfills.

  4. You all are taking g out of the context of what he is saying. The punchline is what follows:” do not worry, we are getting there.” With all the illegals and criminals, we are getting there. Some parts are already there. Shame on all the lefties media for doing this. How about Joe saying Trump supporters are garbages?

  5. What comedian would make a remark like that? I would never hire a comedian that sounds like that. It sounds and looks like he was a plant. Try to make. President Trump look bad. It’s too obvious. Trump has never talked like that. Really weird.❤

  6. Firstly, the comedian said it, not Trump, but the reason behind the garbage comment is because Puerto Rico has 32 dump sites on the small island and Biden / Harris admin have refused to address the problem, not even allowing them to burn the trash. As a result some of the dump sites have overflowed into the river systems and into the sea. Perhaps now that the problem has been highlighted, when Donald Trump becomes president again he and his team will provide funding and assistance to address this awful situation for Puerto Rico.

  7. I dont see the problem it is a floating island of garbage. the citizens know it and so do the government. Save for some tourist trap areas they keep pristine the garbage is every where in other urban areas.
    To be clear he never said anything about the people he was talking about the ISLAND. You could also same the same for some other islands namely Indonesia, Philippines, the Bahamas, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

  8. I don’t wan trump the president. I’m tired of people with kids. Get help. Mean while no one else gets help except people with kids. For all that. People with. Kids. Should be paying higher taxes to help others with no kids. With all the help they getting compared to others. Not getting help

  9. People who cannot laugh, who take themselves so serious that they have no sense of humor are scary and should excuse excuse themselves to check if their Huggies are leaking. I hope our leaders will start treating all Americans better. They need all Americans and we need all ppl on the same page. Chinas building a bigger dam than 3 Gorges already a record breaker while we argue about jokes – get it together, get a grip ppl – its not as bad as the politicizers want us to believe on either side its just that they dont have anything to say. Its UNITED States not DIVIDED Morons!
