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.

Were you born this fucking stupid or is it a conscious daily choice to fail yourself and everyone around you?

That's literally just regular liberalism but 'there should be some co-ops!' I.e., it's just liberalism.

Just complete gibberish, socialism's goal is the abolishment of capitalist property relations and worker ownership of the means of production

Liberalism in 99% of its political and theoretical formulations absolutely does not want those things, you're the definition of an opportunist and utopian idealist, further proved by the fact you're willing to sacrifice this make-believe ideology of yours in the hope of courting fascists
