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.

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.

    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.

        He's such a fantastic moron. Dollars to donuts this guy's only 'engagement' with this country's financial woes is through Fortune, Forbes, and FT.

          100-com if you want to claim that grocery prices are fine, you are way to comfortable that i cant even imagine it. No one saying the "economy" is fine knows what the fuck they're talking about in terms of the majority of peoples experiences right now

      I don’t know where you live or your financial issues or your expertise in things or how competitive your field is.

      I know that the vast majority of grocery prices have come back to normal but there are still a handful of segments that are inflated due climate change and disease and anti competitive practices. These prices are likely not going to go down.

      As I’m sure you’re aware, no president of the United States has ever had a substantial impact on gas prices. Biden did lower the prices during Covid by dipping into our reserves but that really didn’t amount to more than a half dollar and it was temporary. You can though look towards congressional legislation and their control over vehicle fuel economy. We know that Trump loosened those regulations and the Republican Party believes in the free market choice for consumers to choose what canes best fit their lifestyles.

        Then this is not the 'best economy we've had in forty years' you absolute car exhaust addict. Thanks for proving my point for me. Your only stock in trade is lies, more lies, and pissing on my leg tryna tell me it's raining. Death to the settler; death to his empire. Even balkanization is better than this.

          Then you don’t know how the economy is measured nor have you bothered to consider the realities of 2024 and the environmental impacts on a small fraction of consumer spending.

            "the economy" isn't a thing and you don't measure "the economy"

            Fuck off, genocider. You don't measure for the people; you're measuring for your masters. Your numbers, your 'reality', is not mine or anyone's that I live near. Your words, your measurements, and your claimed morals are just as hollow as the rest of the settler cohort's; you no longer deserve, and are no longer invited to hold dialogue with me.
