President-elect Donald Trump announced that Justin Caporale, the man behind Trump’s garbage truck photo-op, will be serving in his second administration.
“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,'” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “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. Congratulations Justin. Keep up the GREAT work!”
Caporale was previously the director of operations under former First Lady Melania Trump, a 2018 statement says.
At the time, Caporale’s responsibilities involved “managing the day-to-day logistical operations of the East Wing, focusing on events, and planning foreign and domestic travel. Justin previously worked as a Lead Advance Representative in the White House Office of Presidential Advance.”
“He also worked for the Donald J. Trump for President Campaign as the Senior Lead Representative for Advance and Operations. In 2015, Justin started a consulting firm that focused on advocacy efforts, event management, and strategy solutions. Prior to starting his own firm, he served as the national director of operations for Concerned Veterans for America.”
Caporale is credited with orchestrating Trump’s garbage truck appearance. The event followed outgoing President Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” during a Zoom call with the organization Voto Latino.
“Donald Trump has no character, Biden said, adding, “He only cares about the billionaire friends he had and accumulated wealth for those at the top. Puerto Rico, where I’m in my home state of Delaware. They’re good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization is seen as unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”
