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.

What you're experiencing isn't difficulty understanding our gymnastics. We're not doing any. Genocide is one of the most horrible and evil things humans can do, and Joe Biden is making it happen. Therefore voting for him is tantamount to doing one of the most horrible and evil things humans can do. You're having difficulty with your own gymnastics, twisting yourself up trying to justify why you're voting for a holocaust.

You’re seriously lacking context and historical events and rejecting everything we have learned about the other candidate. Remove head from ass, please.

lmao, back to pretending that your shitty opinions are a result of nuance and context.

If you've ever wondered what you would have done in Nazi Germany in the 30s, it's "support Hitler because socialists scared you".
