The white garbage truck, emblazoned with "Trump Make America Great Again 2024" on its side, quickly went viral, becoming an unlikely yet effective campaign symbol.

A rumor circulating online in late 2024 claimed a photo shows a set sold by the Lego toy company featuring U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, a McDonald's fast-food restaurant and a garbage truck.

Then Trump landed in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He wore an orange vest, walked to a white garbage truck, and climbed into the passenger’s seat. “How do you like my garbage truck?” he asked reporters.
