Remember Joe Biden, the president of the United States? Nobody had missed him except Donald Trump, who kept whining that his favourite foe had been dumped by the Democrats. But now the old geezer has emerged like a ghost from the White House basement in time to deep-six Kamala Harris’s campaign. Trump supporters are masters at weaponising grievance and Biden has supplied them with a truck load of ammunition by calling them “garbage”. It could be the clincher.

Ever the showman, Trump climbed into a lorry and delivered a speech in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in a hi-vis garbage worker’s jacket. The man is shameless. He calls Harris “stupid” and “low-IQ” and readily describes all of America as a “garbage can”, but is smart enough not to attack her supporters directly. As with his apron-wearing McDonald’s stunt, Trump created a viral moment portraying him as the champion of the common man. “Five days till we take out the trash!” his campaign is gloating.

In truth, America is arguing over an apostrophe. Did Biden call Trump supporters, plural, “garbage” or was he attacking a Trump “supporter’s”........
