Trump taps creator of viral garbage truck photo op for executive producer position

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.

“Congratulations Justin. Keep up the GREAT work!”
