Trump taps creator of viral garbage truck photo op for executive producer position (Justin Caporale)
The Hill ^ | 12/31/24 | Ashleigh Fields

President-elect Trump announced that Justin Caporale would join him as the executive producer for major events and public appearances while in office.

“Justin Caporale has been with me right from the beginning of a very incredible journey, helping to produce our Historic Rallies and Events, including the Republican National Convention, Madison Square Garden, McDonalds commercial, and even my seriously viral ‘Garbage Truck ride,’” he wrote in a Tuesday Truth Social post.

Caporale help with the former president’s stunt in a garbage truck during the campaign trail in October after Biden seemingly called his supporters “garbage” during a video call. The White House disputed the interpretation of what the president meant.

The picture skyrocketed in likes on X and other platforms, solidifying Trump’s credibility with working-class voters. Now, Caporale will head up future appearances and photoshoots during Trump’s second administration, hoping to garner the same effect.

“Once he finishes what will be our magnificent Inauguration presentation, Justin will continue to serve my external operation as Executive Producer for Major Events and Public Appearances,” he added.

To quote Dan Bongino, “Snapshots and Soundbites…”

One thing is certain, that fellow is a master of his craft. Good for President Trump keeping him on “the team.”

As former First Lady Melania Trump’s top aide, Justin Caporale was on the Trump campaign payroll for much of 2020.

He is also CEO of Event Strategies, Inc., the events production company responsible for managing and staffing Trump’s 2016 campaign operations team and for organizing many of the pro-Trump rallies in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021.

January 6, 2021——Caporale was the project manager for the March to Save America rally at the Ellipse. Before the White House became involved with the rally, the plan had been for the crowd to remain at the Ellipse.

Although the Trump campaign insisted it wasn’t involved in the Save America protest, a number of campaign staffers were listed as key organizers and personnel for the rally.

America First Policies donated $2.1 million to Event Strategies and also funded Women for America First, another organizer of the rally at the Ellipse.

Tim Unes, founder of Event Strategies, was paid more than $117,000 from the Trump campaign for stage managing the rally.

In total, the Trump campaign and fundraising committee paid Caporale’s and Unes’ firm, Event Strategies, more than $1.7 million.

The whole garbage truck thing was an advertising professionals wet dream. I can only imagine that when Biden said Trump supporters were garbage, Caporale must have thought “my opponent has given himself to me”. Something like Huxley and Wilberforce.

Washington had his flag, and several are still around today. I hope trump issues a flag of Gadsden fame.

It was also divinely ordered. The rally in Green Bay had been planned long before Biden called us garbage.

There are only a handful of garbage truck manufacturers in America and it’s important for optics to use a new clean truck when hauling POTUS.

Two or three manufacturers are located in Wisconsin or Michigan. They used one that was only an hour drive.

Justin will continue to serve my external operation as Executive Producer for Major Events and Public Appearances.

A very overt signal that Trump will continue his very successful Live Tour of the USA via major events in order to sell his agenda.

When a major vote is up coming, it wouldn't surprise me to see Trump on stage at AT&T Stadium in Dallas with over 100,000 people in the stands and Trump telling the crowd to text, call, email tic and tock their pubbie {and demonRAT} reps having them back Trump's position.

He will use every legal means to win and nothing will shake some pissant congress critter more than being called out by name at a Trump rally.

How about a full house rally at Yankee Stadium, when he is urging the gubbernor of NY and the mayor of NYC to cooperate with ICE or face Federal prosecution for a felony.

Or holding a rally at the Intuit Dome in LA where he rails against gavin new-scum for breaking the Federal Laws by protecting Illegals.

It will be more fun than watching the Masters or The US Open {and it won't take 4 days}.

But how typical of the leftist media to put a little smear in that title, like that’s the only thing he’d done.

I am for Trump staying close to home and out of any possible assassination attempt again.

Actually, the minute Biden spoke the word, “garbage”, EVERYONE here knew exactly what had to be done. Justin Caporale actually had the power to git ‘er done.

Anyhow, I’m waiting to hear re head of SS.

TRUMP WROTE A “RESIGNATION LETTER” TO THE OWNER OF THAT LOCATION.

VERY FORMAL & KIND.

BETCHA HE HAS A COPY famed inside the store.
