Comment on Biden thinks Trump voters are trash.

He didn’t. “The only garbage I see is his supporter’s” garbage, i.e, it’s the possessive “'s”.
Anyway, Trump called the whole country a garbage can, so if you’re so desperately offended by your misreading of Biden’s comments, I guess you’re also pretty torn up about Trump’s, right?

Nice try. He clearly said all Trump supporters are garbage.

No, he didn’t. Both the context and the grammar make it clear that my interpretation is correct. Even if you interpret it unsumpathetically, the infefence that it’s ‘all’ Trump supporters is something you’ve added.
Any Trump supporter pretending to be offended by what Biden didn’t actually say is in any case a massive hypocrite, because Trump built his political career on being offensive. They can’t turn around now and act all offended unless they also repudiate Trump.

None of that changes the fact that Biden called Trump supporters trash.

The fact that he didn’t call them trash is the salient point here.
I mean, apart from anything else, the word he used, whatever it was applied to, was ‘garbage’.

No, he didn’t, bot.
People, don’t feed the troll bots.
