‘Trash’ talk has especially consumed the US elections debate since comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's remarks at the former president's Madison Square Garden rally opened a bigoted tirade against Latinos, Puerto Rico and other minorities. The following chain reaction has been nothing short of explosive, with President Joe Biden shooting proverbial shots at MAGA backers in yet another “garbage” comment. It has since pushed Donald Trump to ride a garbage truck and capitalise on the sitting commander-in-chief's major gaffe.
A Manhattan -based MAGA supporter , Sophie Sassoon, consequently paraded as a “chic garbage bag” to the polls last week, drawing some love and some gate. The self-proclaimed British native-turned-US voter reportedly emigrated to New York 19 years ago. Initially stretching out her stay via a green card, Sassoon was ultimately motivated by the ex-POTUS’ impassioned words ahead of the 2016 election to officially transition to her citizenship status.
Speaking of the “urgency” to vote for the Republican candidate, she told The New York Post, “I didn’t need to be a citizen, but I decided I had to exercise my right as a voter. There was an urgency to do it then to vote for Trump.” Also read | How Kamala Harris's ‘protective instincts’ saved the life of a friend seeking shelter from abuse As a former fashion industry worker, Sassoon wore a black garbage bag while stepping out to vote for Trump during this year’s election cycle.
