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.

            The adults in the room are praying for the US to collapse and balkanise ASAP. Even if Biden wins, the best case scenario for the world is for the US to die. Even if the Dems win the next 10 consecutive elections in a row, the US deserves to die.

            Your country is an experiment based on "Hey what if we don't want to pay taxes to the British but are ok with building on stolen land with slave labour for the purposes of (some) white guys getting the ability to get extremely rich???"

            Its a failed experiment. The best argument against the existence of a just god is that your nation has not been smote out of existence by the hand of the divine.

            Tomorrow, if every politician, businessman and government agent that dictates how your country is run got amnesia, and every reference and memory of your laws, your wretched constitution and how your government operates magically erased from existence, I have no doubt in my body that the ensuring nation(s) that spring up in its place will be not only better for the citizens, but better for the whole world.

            It would have fewer children gunned down in places where they should be safe, fewer people dying from rationing insulin, fewer people selling their plasma just to not die from exposure, fewer minorities and family pets executed by agents of your government in the street, fewer citizens poisoned by plastic and lead in their water, and fewer people half a planet away murdered by your troops or your bombs.

            A better future is possible, but it's not from festering like maggots the the corpse of your dying empire.

            P.s.: Free Palestine.

            Our own country is literally falling apart, not due to war but because people keep voting on one issue they currently feel strongly about.

            definitely, voters caring very strongly about not doing genocide is why this democracy is falling apart.

                Joe Biden has been supporting Israel for 50 years. You aren't angry about Joe Biden's support for Israel. Shut the fuck up

                    Your support is collaboration, you fucking dog. You are complicit. The blood is just as thick across your hands, you ABSOLUTE genocidaire. This is no longer dialogue; you need not post a reply. This is merely condemnation at this point.

                    You've proven my point, you talking about how much you respect a genocidal Zionist tells us all we need to know about how "angry" you are. Eat shit you genocidal worm.

            I guess Americans just don’t give a shit about America anymore. And it’s really fucking sad and frustrating.

            And here's why I don't:

            1000+ Black bodies, sent to the morgue by cops in this nation per year since 2012. This nation still lynches just as many Black folk as it did during Reconstruction, they just changed how it's done. Here's why I don't: prison slavery, for the Black folk who get lucky enough to not get murdered in the streets by sociopathic Anglo-Saxon (from here on: settler) 'police'. Here's why I don't: concentration camps at our southern border, for the refugees of Global Southern countries that we ruined in the first place by pumping them flush with guns and terrorists to depose leaders our sociopathic leaders 'don't like'. Here's why I don't: Tacit Amerikan support of genocide; in Donetsk, in Luhansk, in Libya, in Syria, in Afghanistan, in Palestine. Here's why I don't: You cosign all of it; you and all your other Democrat stoolies. You'd cosign it in Leningrad, Beijing, Havana, and Pyongyang too; if only you could reach.

            Hell, you'd cosign it in Atlanta, in Chicago, in Minneapolis, and in Compton; and I KNOW YOU WOULD from the way liberals talk about the RICO-charged Cop City protestors.

            Why the fuck would I want to save the country that enslaved my ancestors, imprisons my relatives where it doesn't kill them, and sits there and leers in my face with intent to gaslight me into believing they're not the enemy? Death to the settler; death to his empire.

            Know what's really fucking sad and frustrating? Americans like you who care more about some nebulous concept of "America" that has never existed than Palestinian lives who are being brutally killed every single day using American weapons and with American support. That's pretty disgusting
