The garbage truck that Donald Trump used for a photo opportunity in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in the final days of the 2024 campaign will appear in his Inauguration Day parade, according to multiple media outlets.

The president-elect cosplayed in a safety vest to hold a news conference from the vehicle Oct. 30. He almost face-planted as he entered the campaign-sticker-emblazoned vehicle.

“How do you like my garbage truck?” the then-presidential candidate asked reporters at the time. “This truck is in honor of [Democratic rival] Kamala [Harris] and [President] Joe Biden,” he added.

The stunt followed comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s widely condemned Trump rally joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” and Biden’s response that “the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” which drew outrage on the right. Biden later clarified he was talking about Hinchcliffe.

North Korea's suicide soldiers pose new challenge for Ukraine in war with Russia
After a battle in Russia's snowy western region of Kursk this week, Ukrainian special forces scoured the bodies of more than a dozen slain North Korean enemy soldiers. But it is among mounting evidence from the battlefield, intelligence reports and testimonies of defectors that some North Korean soldiers are resorting to extreme measures as they support Russia's three-year war with Ukraine. "Self-detonation and suicides: that's the reality about North Korea," said Kim, a 32-year-old former North Korean soldier who defected to the South in 2022, requesting he only be identified by his surname due to fears of reprisals against his family left in the North.
