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.
Dude. I don’t know what broke you but, on planet earth, claiming that a person did a thing when it was not only not them but someone else is called lying. I am going to inform you that because you reject truth and facts and reality, you are a member of a cult. Your brain has been manipulated for the gain of others. I want you to really think about this. Take the time to review this conversation and the facts presented by all parties. It’s not about me or my opinions; it’s about your ability to perceive reality. I sincerely hope you will take another look at this and take a breath. We’re losing too many people to propaganda and fear mongering.
You’re really gonna be this stupid? If I say you posted on the internet, I’m a liar because so did millions of other people?
Holy shit man, log off and go look in a fucking mirror you joke.
If you say I posted something on tiktok when I have never had a tiktok account, yes, that would make you a liar. I’ve already offered the evidence to support my argument. You’ve chosen not to review this and continue to claim you’re right. We’re both looking at a clear blue sky and you’re saying it’s red. You’re a cultist. You are being manipulated for the gain of others.
‘Cultist’, nice perjorative you fucking weasel. Like y’all genocidal settlers don’t call Trump’s crazies the same thing. Nice equivalence.
