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.

      Libs never engage with specifics. That's why their favorite dodge is to claim something is "complicated" and "needs nuance"

            I will forgo any of my liberal socialist ideals if Biden wants to do whatever it takes

            This was you.

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

            This is you lying in light of what you said in that first quote.

            Own your skullduggerous, chronically-lying settler-assed horseshit with your WHOLE CHEST.

                Incorrect. Fundamentally incorrect. Fractally incorrect. Trump didn't let 61 Black protestors against the Cop City project that BIDEN drafted, funded, and adamantly stands by, get fucking federally RICO charged. If nothing's done about them, if they're not saved, they will ALL see prison chattel slavery internments of at least 15 years. Not a single Jan. 6th rioter got this treatment. I had more money in my pocket, and a better paying job under Trump. Meanwhile, under Biden, Indeed, Monster, even LinkedIn, all full of scams and fake jobs and if I'm ever unemployed for two years again despite sending out 20 applications a day AND having credentials and degrees out the nose, I'm gonna start chalking outlines of my own.

                While we're on the subject of Genocide Joe and his manifold fuckups, Biden just sent/promised 18 billion USD worth of jets and ordnance to Israhell again this morning. Biden's not preferable. He was never preferable, in fact; now he's just wearing his armband JUST as flagrantly as Trump did, will, and probably will again because you people have no interest in actually performing the morals you claim, as a result, no interest in making Biden EARN IT.

                There is no way for us to reconcile; no aisle to meet in the middle of. I will not support a genocidal segregationist; especially not a genocidal segregationist who is making NO tangible improvements to the material conditions that the non-elite of this society live under. Death to the settler. Death to his empire.

                    I won’t get into how the economy is actually the best it’s been in 40 years

                    Then where are the jobs, peckerwood? Why did it take me two and a half years to land a job with all my accreditation? Why is my partner STILL unemployed despite THEIR search? Why is a week's worth of groceries 300 dollars? Why am I spending nearly as much on gas? Why are houses so prohibitively expensive that I'll be renting a flat literally all my life? Why are used cars the cost of what new cars were ten years ago? You're so full of shit, when they flush you out for your coffin fitting, you'll fit in a goddamned matchbox.
