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.

What are they doin over there 😳
Hexbear users are always willing to defend far-right activists in some twisted logic. You people should merge with the proud boys, they hate libs too.
your brain is fried. maybe go to a local KFC and give it up as an offering?
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.
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.
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
I don’t like saying this but I will forgo any of my liberal socialist ideals if Biden wants to do whatever it takes to get votes from republicans.
Edit: Man, you people are sad little trolls. Go spend some time out in the IRL world. It’s genuinely depressing to see so many keyboard warriors spend their time regurgitating the talking points from the comfort of their echo chamber.
To clarify my meaning, whether you agree with my politics or not, I think Biden has been a far better president than anyone could have hoped for (possibly the best I can recall) but I still have a philosophical disagreement with him when it comes to protections and equity for all. I believe there are some programs that the federal government should run to give all Americans the best opportunities (education, healthcare, housing, UBI, etc) and I believe that taking excessive capitalist gains from the ultra wealthy is a small drop in the bucket to promote some fairness. I will lean back on these philosophical ideas which I’ve had little hope of a centrist of adopting and encourage him to lean further right if that means he can take some votes away from the inarguably worst president in modern times (yes, worse than Regan).
If you think Trump should be the leader of the US, that he some how represents or understands democracy, that he cares about you or the United States, that he’s a good president or person, or is better than Biden in any regard, you and I are not existing in the same solar system so there’s no point in arguing. I don’t have anything against Republicans but the extreme and religious conservatives and the MAGA cult do not align with the freedoms dreamed by our founders or promised in the Constitution of the US.
Curious what liberal socialist ideals your talking about forgoing here
The federal government supporting equity.
Well if it makes you feel any better, not forgoing idealism in the face of reality would help trump win. So the realism of voting for biden and getting him to win is the best possible outcome, as far as getting as close to your ideals as possible is concerned.
That’s just polite fascism though? Oh! You are a liberal, got it.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds
kinky
lol anyone who doesn’t think a tailgate piece that makes it look like you got the president tied up in the bed of your truck is funny sucks.
Nominally agree, but a president is too broad to be much of a statement. Go for a particular congressman and the joke will land.
Nah, president has broader recognition
Do you guys honestly care about this more than all of the other things that are happening like the immigration issues?
Lol, my comment commenting about Hexbear users got remove by mod. What’s up mod? They get to be removed about everyone they disagree with, but we can’t criticize them?

for the reason “trolling”.
your comment was directly in response to the OP, so there’s no context to consider.
sounds like another common .ml moderator W to me.
