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.

He's such a fantastic moron, I can't believe he's still going on such flimsy supports.

Yes. It points to our disregard for a proper social support system. Our freedoms and a free market economy trump the country’s best interests. The states have too much power while the nation lacks enough.

You would think the fact its founded on genocide, continues to support genocide, and runs an imperialist world order that exploits and impovershes the global south may be better evidence
