Vice presidential candidate Tim Walz did not miss the opportunity to poke fun Donald Trump while speaking to swing voters in Pennsylvania on Thursday. During a campaign stop, Walz mocked Trump's age and his recent photoshoot in which he donned an orange safety vest and posed with a garbage truck. The photo op was in response to recent comments by President Joe Biden and a comedian at Trump's New York City rally. Walz said Trump was "struggling physically" to lift himself onto a garbage truck. "This dude's nearly 80 years old," Walz joked. "He damn near killed himself getting into a garbage truck."
