Trump is telling his supporters to “forgive” Biden to show his unity after the president called his supporters “trash.”

President Trump called on a crowd of supporters to “forgive” President Biden after he compared the former president's supporters to trash.

“Wow. This is terrible,” Trump said, referencing Hillary Clinton's infamous “deplorable” comments in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election. “And then she said irredeemable. That didn’t work.”

The Republican candidate called for forgiveness from his supporters during a crowded rally at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

“I think trash is worse,” he said. “But he doesn’t know. You must please forgive him.”

Please forgive him for not knowing what he said…

– Former President Donald Trump

“Please forgive him for not knowing what he said,” Trump said. “These people are terrible, terrible, terrible for saying something like that. But he really doesn't know. He really doesn't know. And I am convinced that he likes me more than Kamala. But it is a terrible thing.”

REGARD:

Trump's call for unity – and forgiveness – came after the president called Trump supporters “trash” during a Voto Latino election rally.

“The only trash I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and un-American. It is a complete contradiction to everything we have done, everything we have been.”

Biden's comments came after Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

“And the other day a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico 'a floating island of garbage.' Well, let me tell you something,” Biden said. “I don't know the Puerto Rican I know… or Puerto Rico where I am – in my home state of Delaware – they are good, decent, honorable people.”

Biden's comments came just as Vice President Kamala Harris was set to take the stage for a large rally in Washington, DC.

“Today I called the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico expressed by Trump's supporters at his rally at Madison Square Garden trash – that's the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden posted later that evening on X after his comments received swift backlash.

“His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I wanted to say,” he said. “The comments at this rally do not reflect who we are as a nation.”

“The president referenced a joke by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe in which he compared Puerto Rico to an island of floating 'trash' in the middle of the ocean,” Bates said.
