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.

Okay. What is your perspective on the image/situation?

Fascist threatens liberal president, liberals in power scream "someone has to do something about this!" And then do nothing

Trump could be shot for treason, in an open and shut way(stealing nuclear secrets) but liberals aren't going to do it, because for structural reasons liberals are incapable of opposing fascism.

(Liberal in this case is used the normal way, and not the "liberal= left wing" way)
