WHAT TRASH!
Behave or you’ll be deported. Where’s Trump when you need him?
— CITY SANITATION WORKER TO DRIVER
THESE GARBAGEMEN are talking Trump trash.
A pair of crusty city sanitation workers were caught on video Thursday morning screamingat amotorist in Brooklyn they were blocking, claiming that the man behind the wheel should be deported.
Then they trumped the insult by invoking the Republican presidential candidate’s name.
“Where’s Trump? Where’s Trump when you need him?” one of the two trash haulers screamed during the 7:30 a.m. standoff on Clinton Ave. near Greene Ave. in Clinton Hill.
In the video, the sanitation men had blocked one side of the street with their truck and the other side with the recycling bags they were throwing into the rear loader.
The motorist behind the wheel of the SUV was trying to get through when he got out and yelled at the sanitation workers tomove sohe could roll by.
“Move the car!” the man screamed.
The sanitation workers refused.
“Behave or you’ll be deported,” said one of the garbage haulers said as he threw bags into his truck.
Hispartner then called onThe Donald for help.
As the SUV crept forward, the Trump booster stepped in front of the motorist’s black SUV, touching the bumper with his legs.
“Hit me! I f---ing dare you! I f--ing dare you,” the worker screamed.“Hit me! Let’s go!”
Witnesses to the war of words werestunned.
“I just thought it was bizarre,” said one man, who only identified himself only as Chuck. “The (SUV driver) was angry that the sanitation workers were blocking the street — but they took it to another level.”
“They got crazy,” the 40-yearoldwitness added.
Aftera fewtense moments, the motorist backed up and drove aroundthe sanitationworker.
Despite the fighting words, 911 was never called, an NYPD spokeswomansaid.
A Department of Sanitation
spokeswoman said the employees have been identified through the video and “will be issued complaints.”
The two have also been suspended, according to City Hall spokeswomanAmySpitalnik.
The incident is under investigation, Spitalnik added.
“Statements like this are always troubling and cause for serious concern,” Spitalnik explained.
The names of the two sanitation workerswere not disclosed.
An email to the Trump campaign was notreturned.
Harry Nespoli, the president of the Uniformed Sanitationmen’s As- sociation, said he doesn’t believe that the two men are Trump supporters.
“This was just the reaction of some guys in the field,” Nespoli said. “The public has a tendency to yell at us for blocking the street. Wetell our guys not to get into arguments with the public, so this was more or less them turning around and being frustrated with this gentleman.”
“I don’t think they meant what they said about Trump,” he said.
The garbage-mouthed tirade echoes campaign speeches from Trump, where he made racist comments about illegal Mexican immigrants and demanded a wall be built between the U.S. and Mexico. Trump has also said that U.S. prisons are teeming with illegal aliens.
Trump’s campaign stops have also become a hotbed of violence, with the candidate’s followers attacking protesters in both St. Louis andChicago lastweekend
On March 9 in North Carolina, a Trump supporter was videotaped sucker-punching a protester as he was being led away froma rally.
Trump has denied any responsibility for the madness or claims that he’s fomenting violence at his rallies.
“You can’t even have a rally in a major city in this country anymore without violence or potential violence,” Trump told CNN on Saturday as he blamed Democrats for incitingthe mayhemandthe mediafor overreporting the violence.
As of March 7, 45% of New York Republicans support Trump, overwhelming the next-best candidate, John Kasich, who had 18%, according to a recently released Siena poll.
The sanitation union hasn’t polled its members to see if they would support Trump in the presidential election, Nespoli said.
“We are looking for someone who supports labor and the middle class,” he said.
