Former president Donald Trump disseminated on social media on Friday an image of President Biden with his hands and feet tied and his mouth gagged, the latest example of the Republican candidate’s use of increasingly violent rhetoric and imagery this campaign season.
The image can be seen about halfway through a 20-second video that Trump posted on his Truth Social site. The post says it was recorded Thursday on Long Island, where Trump traveled this week to attend a wake for a recently killed police officer.
In the video, two trucks decorated with giant Trump flags and altered American flags are driving on a highway. On the tailgate door of one of the trucks is the image of Biden lying horizontally, bound and gagged.
Trump has a history of sharing and promoting violent images featuring his perceived enemies.
Consider that doing so is like a toddler having a temper tantrum.
What are you doing to fix politics? You’re not starting a political party, you’re not doing anything meaningful, you’re not trying to get into office
You don’t even have any real suggestions on how to fix things or who should be in charge
Being a keyboard warrior isn’t helpful at all if you feel that way.
I do at least the bare minimum, and that is not voting for the parties of capital. That is a bar even liberals, the lowest of the low, can’t clear.
