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.
Huh? I didn’t make any accusations.
Coward
If you're not even capable of basic reading comprehension what are you even doing here
If you believe the things mentioned in the original comment have taken place just in the past three years or are the sole responsibility of Joe Biden, I would encourage you to... well, let's be honest, it's probably too late for you. I wish I could help you but I'm not an educator and don't have the time or inclination to re-educate the poorly educated.
But just to reiterate, strongly, I believe four more hours of Trump is literally worse than all the things mentioned that may or may not have to do with Joe Biden. You can disagree with that. I realize it's controversial.
I didn't think a Trump presidency was going to be that big of a deal at first but I was sorely wrong. It's by no means a stretch to imagine another Trump presidency, given the tone of this country and congress and judges, will be the undoing of the United States. Our democracy has failed. The oath our legislators have taken is worthless. They have all (all - dems included) put party over country.
And I will say it's not Trump whom I blame - it's the voters. What I am absolutely unable to comprehend is how anyone could possibly ever consider Trump for President of the United States, let alone vote for him. It's depressing that our culture has gotten to this point. Rather than educate and better ourselves, we choose stupidity. We choose freedom to be idiots ruled by fascism. We're regressing while other countries are evolving.
Biden might not fix what's broken but Trump very well make break everything it means to be American. So, for me, there's no choice.
Genuinely, nobody gives a shit about your personal opinion on voting, not only has nobody asked you about it, it's incredibly rote and predictable. You claimed there were lies and exaggerations - quit dodging and address your accusation with specifics.
Libs never engage with specifics. That's why their favorite dodge is to claim something is "complicated" and "needs nuance"
Nothing on this list is specific to Biden's presidency.
Every (modern) US government / congress has funded Israel, the military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex. These have always been gigantic concerns and now you're looking at this president and blaming him??
Current events aside, Trump was FAR more supportive of Israel than any other president this century, of not ever. I mean, you think shit's bad now? Imagine if Trump were president during this war.

There's two wars going on right now so of course the current president is asking congress to appropriate more money towards those causes.

"They" is used regarding the opioid criss and the 2008 financial crisis which obviously is not specific to Biden or his presidency.
Both Biden and Trump have taken positive steps towards solving the opioid crisis.

It was during the Obama administration that the economy was essentially saved so I'm not sure what this has to do with Biden's presidency. The "middle class" has literally been dying since the early 1970s when productivity and wages started to diverge. The death of the middle class sits firmly on the shoulders of Republicans who oppose federal minimum wages and more regulations on Wall Street, corporations, and consumer protections. So, to blame Biden's presidency on the death of the middle class is just not based in reality at all.

The list then goes on to mention congressional election campaigns and buying stocks which quite obviously has nothing to do with Biden or any president ever. FWIW, here's a bipartisan bill banning stock trades

So, yeah for me, I'm more concerned about a candidate running for president posting an image of a current president bound up. That tells me that this person is not fit to be the leader of the country where I reside. I have no problem with Joes and Janes doing it (I'm 100% in support of this) but I personally hold my presidential candidates to a higher moral value than the rest of the public. That also includes holding the current president and congressional leaders to account when they don't voice their condemnation of mass civilian casualties. However, given the two choices we've got, frustratingly, there's not much of a choice.
So, when pressed over and over again to simply identify the "lies", the best you come up with is that it's all true but it's also true about other presidents?
Does anyone in your life take you seriously?
Buddy, are you feeling okay? Do you know where you are and what day of the week it is? Blink twice if you need help.
You may not get it now, but hopefully you will someday
Just wanted to add, no you fucking don't, because you're willing to forgive Joe Biden for genocide. I wouldn't forgive the average person for that, but since you're fixated on Trump you're willing to vote for genocide.
You are well beyond delusional. It’s sad and frightening how many people have been lost to these cults of disinformation and warped realities.
Surely you realize you're a clown, right?
Okie doke. I’m a clown who doesn’t have his head buried in a narrative chosen by my echo chamber.
being smug about being wrong is such a uniquely liberal trait
LOL! Saying someone is wrong when you’ve already acknowledged they’re right. Come on kid.
You claimed another user was lying. You dodged and dodged and dodged and finally decided to explain that their "lies" were omitting that other Presidents do the same shit. This is, you'll find, not lying.
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.
shut the fuck up genocide lover
Yes the fuck you did
How are they lying?
