Liberal media personalities were left reeling over Donald Trump's garbage truck stunt.
MSNBC's Morning Joe co-hosts tore into the former president after he showed up to a rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday in a white trash truck with his 'Make America Great Again' slogan on the side.
Trump's stunt was a direct troll of Democrats who are running to President Joe Biden's defense after he called the former president's supporters 'garbage.'
'The hypocrisy, Mika, over a misstatement by Joe Biden, which he quickly corrected, is so laughable,' Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough said to co-host Mika Brzezinski during their Thursday morning broadcast. 'Because this guy [Trump] does this every day.'

He then went into a high-pitched impersonation of Fox News hosts when he continued: 'And then you turn on Fox News and get, 'Oh, how could anybody do this. I've never seen this before from a pres –.'
The gas lighting never ends,' Scarborough claimed. 'They really do think that their voters are that stupid. And it makes me sad for those voters that Donald Trump.'
The whole 'garbage' debacle was sparked at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday.
Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe opened the midtown Manhattan rally with a routine that included a punchline calling Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage.'
The joke landed flat with Democratic politicians and the Hispanic community.
Biden botched the administration's response to the controversy by slinging back the insult and calling Trump's supporters 'garbage.'
'The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,' Biden said on a call on Tuesday. 'His- his- his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it is un-American.'

The back-and-forth continued on Wednesday when Trump showed up to his rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin in a white trash truck and an orange reflective vest over a white button down.
The meltdown over this spread to several outlets and left-leaning media personalities.
CBS host Norah O'Donnell said on her show on Monday that the original comment from Hinchcliffe was 'vile' and told viewers: 'Puerto Rico is an American island. Let me say that again. Puerto Ricans are American citizens.'
