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.

If I'm to assume you are a grown adult, the way you argue with someone you label as a "genocide lover" is to wish death upon them?

See folks, this is the problem with cultists. They have no sense of reality. They live solely in their bubbles.

I'll have you know that I am not a one-issue voter. While I've always had concerns over Israel's treatment of Palestine and viewed Netanyahu as a hateful warmonger, I understand there are complex issues on the other side of the world which I have limited knowledge of based on reporting I seek out and trust. Which is to say, very few realities are black and white. You can be opposed to genocide and be in favor of retrieving hostages and be opposed to zionism while also supporting a government and military that stands in the way of total disaster and even greater loss of life in the region.

The world is complex. I'm sure your family or your job or your neighborhood is complex. I'm sure people have made assumptions about you and your life without proper context. Maybe someone hates you for a thing you did (granted, not genocide) but they don't know all the good things you've done or how much love is in your heart.

I can choose to re-elect a not-perfect US President that isn't someone who's running on a campaign to do all he can to dismantle the foundation of the country I'm a citizen of. I'm not the biggest fan of this country but we do at least have a president who's open to listening to the people. Do you think DT would listen and change his mind on anything that doesn't empower him?

Nailed it! Every ill in the world for libs is always pinned on the one bad actor. The US or Isreal stay innocent in their minds, even though both are founded on settler colonialism and genocide

That's a lot of words to say you're a genocide supporter

I am a one-issue voter, is the thing: I will not vote for a genocidal CRACKER. If the other genocidal CRACKERS that comprise this nation continue failing to find whatever morals they claimed to espouse all those years they were teaching me about the Holocaust, then they deserve whatever happens to them afterwards. These are not my peers, my countrymen, nor anyone I consider worth saving. You deserve to watch the erosion of all your ancestors' ill-gotten gains.

It’s safe to assume then that you’re not voting for Trump. That’s fine by me.
