Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz mocked Donald Trump Thursday for his clumsy garbage truck gimmick.

“This dude’s nearly 80-years-old,” Walz said at a campaign event in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. “He damn near killed himself getting into a garbage truck.”

The crowd laughed at the Democrat’s reference to a Wednesday incident involving the Trump campaign’s attempt at retribution over President Joe Biden’s garbage gaffe that inflamed MAGA supporters. The GOP nominee donned an orange safety vest and planned a ride in a Trump-branded garbage truck.

    Plenty of 60-year-olds play games. They were in their 20’s and 30’s as gaming matured. The N64 and PS1 target audience was people who are now in their 50’s and 60’s.

      Well, some of us were already into the PC master race direction and didn’t fall for the consoles. :D

      I thought Tim Walz’s stream was fun. But I would, being 56 and OLD.

        My neighbor was in his 40s and taught me how to play DOOM back in the 90s. If he hadn’t died of lung cancer he’d be in his 70s now. Like, one of my family’s best memories is playing Rock Band one Christmas, three generations of us all hanging out and taking turns. Games are for everyone.
