88% : This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden," Trump said, referring to his opponent Vice-President Kamala Harris and the president.
37% : But by Wednesday, Trump was highlighting the gaffe with props.
34% : "Is this an in-kind donation?" 'Scum' and 'Enemy from within' At a campaign rally last week in Tempe, Arizona, Trump said migrants who have entered the county through the southern border have turned the United States into a "garbage can for the world."
32% : During an interview this month on Fox News, Trump said, "I think the bigger problem is the enemy within," when asked about potential foreign-agitated violence on Election Day, singling out the "radical left lunatics." "It should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard or if really necessary by the military," he said.
31% : Yet Trump, the Republican nominee, has a well-documented, long list of disparaging remarks himself, including using the word "garbage" to refer to his adversaries in September, just last week referring to the United States as the "garbage can for the world," calling his adversaries the "enemy within" and labeling political opponents "scum.
29% : "Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post in May, going on to rail against the federal judge who presided over advice columnist E. Jean Carroll's case against him.
22% : Here's what to know Trump has said "the enemy within" pose greater threats than overseas rivals.

18% : "We're a dumping ground," Trump said.
17% : "It's the from enemy within, all the scum that we have to deal with, that hate our country," Trump said Oct. 11.
15% : Meanwhile, Trump has suggested using the U.S. military to arrest what's he's called the "enemy from within."
13% : Trump has also used the term "human scum" frequently in reference to those that have gone against him, beyond Harris or Biden.
11% : Months later in a separate Truth Social post, Trump repeated "human scum," this time in rage against the writer behind "The Apprentice," a biopic made about Trump - much to Trump's displeasure - in his early career.
10% : More: Biden sparks Republican backlash after appearing to swipe at Trump's supporters "So sad that HUMAN SCUM, like the people involved in this hopefully unsuccessful enterprise, are allowed to say and do whatever they want in order to hurt a Political Movement," Trump wrote this month.
8% : They are absolute garbage," Trump said at a September rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, although the former president did not appear to be referring to all Harris supporters.
2% : " Trump pounced - and hasn't let up - after Biden appeared to call Trump supporters "garbage."
