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.

    but I personally hold my presidential candidates to a higher moral value than the rest of the public.

    Just wanted to add, no you fucking don’t, because you’re willing to forgive Joe Biden for genocide. I wouldn’t forgive the average person for that, but since you’re fixated on Trump you’re willing to vote for genocide.

      You are well beyond delusional. It’s sad and frightening how many people have been lost to these cults of disinformation and warped realities.

          Okie doke. I’m a clown who doesn’t have his head buried in a narrative chosen by my echo chamber.

              LOL! Saying someone is wrong when you’ve already acknowledged they’re right. Come on kid.

                You claimed another user was lying. You dodged and dodged and dodged and finally decided to explain that their “lies” were omitting that other Presidents do the same shit. This is, you’ll find, not lying.

                funny-clown-hammer You’re a fucking clown and I am at this point absolutely certain that everyone in your personal life knows that you’re a clown.

                  Dude. I don’t know what broke you but, on planet earth, claiming that a person did a thing when it was not only not them but someone else is called lying. I am going to inform you that because you reject truth and facts and reality, you are a member of a cult. Your brain has been manipulated for the gain of others. I want you to really think about this. Take the time to review this conversation and the facts presented by all parties. It’s not about me or my opinions; it’s about your ability to perceive reality. I sincerely hope you will take another look at this and take a breath. We’re losing too many people to propaganda and fear mongering.

                    You’re really gonna be this stupid? If I say you posted on the internet, I’m a liar because so did millions of other people?

                    Holy shit man, log off and go look in a fucking mirror you joke.
