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.

        Not sure how that’s relevant, but no, neither candidate has a good solution here.

        I have my own opinions here, but I’m obviously not running for president.

          You said trump doesnt deal with issues but he does more of it than biden does if you look at immigration.

            I don’t believe Trump will actually follow through on most of what he says, because that’s what happened last time he was in office. And honestly, if he does win, I hope he doesn’t follow through because his immigration policies suck.

            That said, Biden’s immigration policies suck too. I don’t like the “diversity lottery” or the weird 8-year plan he proposes.

              I dont think any politician tends to do what they say, and trump is more braggadocios than most and will claim he will do more than he will by a long shot. But I can look at what he wanted to do, what he was stopped from doing, and what Biden is doing and see that I dont care about Trumps rude words when Biden is just so so shitty.

                They both suck, just in opposite ways. Trump seems to forget that our country was and is built by immigrants, and Biden seems to forget that following the law should be rewarded, not breaking the law.

                If I could vote for “empty seat,” I might just do it.

                  I am going to vote for the libertarian candidate. Of all the groups they are the most right about everything, and since I am in Idaho, it doesnt really matter who I vote for president.

                    Same, but I’m just south of you in Utah.

                    But it also kind of depends on who the libertarian candidate is. I’m not a fan of the Mises caucus, but Charles Ballay seems okay. It really doesn’t matter anyway, because the Republican candidate will win regardless (was pretty funny when McMullin took enough votes in 2016 and Trump got <50%).
