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.
Biden has funded a genocide and oversees an government which completely sold out to corporate interests, the military industrial complex, and the prison industrial complex. They watched big pharma kill thousands in the opioid epidemic. They bailed out the banks after the great financial crisis, while the middle class was left to die.
Every congress member relies on corporate funding for campaigns. They can literally hold stock in the companies they regulate. Those corporations’ interests are completely opposite of the interests of the working class.
I couldn’t care less if some feckless oaf posts a picture of a US figurehead in such a position.

Even given your exaggerations and lies, I’d ecstatically take four more years of this over four more hours of Trump.
Watch out, you’re forgetting about the “crypto” part of being a cryptofascist
If you aren’t voting then you’re complicit in letting all the things you listed happening too.
Joe Biden has done more about these problems than you have. You don’t really care about any of these issues if you’re too lazy to vote.
See my second paragraph. The same applies for the executive branch elections. We can’t reform this. Direct action is the only solution.
Protests are only effective if the people in power are at least sympathetic to what you want.
You can vote and protest you know. Think of having Democrats in power as a buff in favor of whatever you’re protesting.
If you’re protesting and not voting, it’s probably a movement that’s represented best by that Kendall Jenner Pepsi commercial. Just a fun get-together with your friends where you pretend to be angry about something. All performative bullshit. So just have a Pepsi and stop pretending you care about anything LOL.
Gaslighting, like a true liberal.
Being lazy and ineffective like a true socialist.
