Say what you will about President-elect Donald Trump, but his trolling skills are off the charts. He is, for all intents and purposes, the funniest person in America.
The proof? The garbage truck he used in Green Bay, Wisconsin, that became famous at the end of the 2024 presidential campaign, will appear in his inaugural parade.
A truck from the company Loadmaster, a firm based in Michigan, will be one of 39 entries in the parade that runs down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House, according to the Midwesterner.
The information comes via a source on the inaugural committee.
Recreating The Viral Trump Garbage Truck Moment
The garbage truck, of course, gained notoriety after Trump was photographed sitting in it on the tarmac at Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport as he prepared to speak at a campaign rally.
Aside from his work day at McDonald’s, this was the most viral moment of his presidential campaign and, combined with Green Bay Packers legend Brett Favre, may have sealed the deal in Wisconsin.
Trump took the level of trolling to a nuclear weapons-grade level when, after President Biden declared his supporters to be “garbage,” he threw on an orange vest and hitched a ride in a garbage truck on the way to his next campaign stop.
Even better, Trump then proceeded to give his entire campaign speech while wearing the orange vest. Proving once again he was a man of the people.
Andrew Brisson, the vice president of Loadmaster, provided the truck to the October Trump rally and was actually in the driver’s seat. Brisson recalled the hilarious moment to WFRV.
“Started up the truck, blew the air horn, and then Trump looked over at me and said, can you take me for a ride in this thing,” he recalled. “I released the parking brake, put it in drive and started driving forward.”
“Like Trump said, we just got a few feet, and the Secret Service just glaring at me, waving their hands, telling us to knock it off.”
“How do you like my garbage truck?” Trump asked reporters at the time.
Trump has completely derailed my evening. I have spent 90 minutes laughing at this man’s genius.
Again, hate em if ya want, but our 45th president just showed up in a garbage truck and is now speaking at his rally in an orange garbage man vest. I can’t even. ❤️🤣🗑️ #MAGA pic.twitter.com/FN1oFORjyJ

Won’t Be All Garbage
Trump’s inauguration won’t be exclusively about trolling his adversaries with garbage trucks. In fact, the entertainment he has lined up will be anything but garbage.
Trump’s inauguration weekend is set to be a spectacle with a star-studded lineup of performers.
Headlining the event are the Village People, who have become a symbol in MAGA culture due to their song “YMCA.” The song inspired the “Trump Dance” which has been sweeping the nation of late. They will perform at a “Victory Rally” at Capital One Arena in D.C.
Joining them is Kid Rock, a known supporter of Trump, who previously performed at the Republican National Convention.
Other notable acts include country singer Jason Aldean, whose song “Try That in a Small Town” resonated with Trump’s voter base, and Carrie Underwood, who is scheduled to sing “America the Beautiful” at the inauguration ceremony.
Remember when the entertainment world remained in the shadows because it was too risky to align yourself with Trump? Those days appear to be over.
We’re all doing the Trump Dance, now.
