Trump’s “Garbage Force One” driver’s video goes viral: Who is Brent Terhune?

While Trump has been on the campaign trail this year saying some truly outrageous things, none of them has really come back to haunt him. In some cases it’s almost like when kids tell each other “I’m rubber, you’re glue. Whatever you say to me, bounces off of me and sticks to you!”

However, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who said Puerto Rico is “a floating island of garbage” at Trump’s recent Madison Square Garden rally upset not only Puerto Ricans and Latinos, it also drew condemnation from people on both the left and right of the political spectrum.

Trump himself had to address the widespread fallout from the ugly comparison. And in true fashion said he didn’t know the guy and accepted no responsibility.

Trump’s “Garbage Force One” driver’s video goes viral: Who is Brent Terhune?

Surrogates of former President Trump’s bid to return to the White House have been trying to turn the tables and redirect the ire about the latest racism associated with the Republican’s campaign. The perfect opportunity came when they took advantage of President Biden’s stutter and phonetics, and began claiming that he had called all Trump supporters “garbage” when he was referring to Hinchcliffe.

To ramp up the viral spread of the misleading association attributed to Biden, the Trump campaign had a garbage truck pick up the GOP candidate when he arrived for his rally outside Green Bay, Wisconsin. While the stunt did go viral it also opened the window for others to have some fun at the expense of Trump, who has called America a garbage can, Kamala Harris voters scum among the multitude of insults he’s hurled throughout the campaign.

One such person was comedian Brent Terhune, who posted a video online in which he said he was the driver of “Garbage Force One.”  He gave a telling of his fictional experience driving Trump to the rally and then an emotional scolding of President Biden.

The video rode the wave of searches for “Trump garbage truck” and was aided by those with big social media followings who reposted the video. Some of whom even took the video seriously like political activist Charlie Kirk, who has 3.7 million followers. He’s now deleted the post he called “fantastic!” and asked viewers to especially watch the part where Terhune gets emotional about being called garbage.

Terhune does stand-up comedy as well as podcasting. On his Cameo page, where you can hire him to make a personalized video he says he is better known as “the Redneck Y’all Love to Hate.”

He has written for the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Radio Show, which he has also been on. Furthermore, he is the creator, writer, and illustrator of the Uncle Frank comic strip.
