Donald Trump gave a speech about trade and globalism in Monessen, Pa., Tuesday afternoon, but the Twittersphere was focused only on one thing: What was going on with the garbage backdrop?

Who is the advance person who picked the backdrop for Trump’s economic speech? And why does he still have a job?

Trump’s garbage wall backdrop is one wall I will fully support.

I for one applaud the Trump advance team’s avant-garde use of scrap metal for its backdrop. It’s a new and challenging aesthetic.

“Mr. Trump needs a backdrop.”
“What do you have in mind?”
“It’s gotta be on-brand. Obviously.”
“A giant pile of garbage?”
“Genius.”— Jamison Foser (@jamisonfoser) June 28, 2016
This is symbolic art. That backdrop of mashed up aluminum and wiring? Trump’s mind. #MSNBC
