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.
At least post the picture
All you have to do is Google “Biden Tailgate Wrap”. There are many variations for sale all over the internet. $50 to $70.
Trump deserves some blame for sharing it, but the real blame needs to be on the people producing and using it.
Hmmm, people producing it deserve blame, but it’s not like you or me sharing a pic, this is a candidate for president of the United States posting it about his political rival. I think that’s a worse offense, no matter how common they might be.
His political rival and the current president.
Fortunately in America such images are protected speech even if liberals and fascists, but I repeat myself get upset about them. So any “blame” is literally just the speaker virtue signaling and isn’t something that needs to be considered beyond a simple throw away comment plus a “lol.”
Well hes not gagged. So maybe theres an even worse one.
He doesn’t appear to be gagged in this pic. Maybe they’re referring to a different violent image
Is that actually painted on someone’s truck? I kinda hope so because it’s so shoddy. The perspective doesn’t even line up for the truck bed.
It’s a decal that can be bought for like $50. There are a bunch of different kinds of them, some with women tied up, deer, various politicians, Sasquatch, Lion’s etc. It’s the most mundane shit which is why liberals are clutching their pearls over it.
I never thought I’d see the claim that pretending to have a woman tied up in the back of your truck is some “mundane shit”.
Same energy as standing at airport security yelling “I have a gun” and pulling out a replica.
I’ve seen people get pulled over for a fake hand holding the tailgate edge around Halloween. Tied up people should absolutely get you pulled over and checked on a regular basis just because you don’t want to be the guy that missed a potential kidnapping.
Guess which side the fascist cops are on? The truck owner’s likely a family member of the cop
If they recognize who’s in the picture. My point isn’t that they’ll get in trouble. My point is that you’re going to get pulled over a lot because cops won’t want to miss a potential kidnapping.
Its a wrap. And they’re real. Shouldnt be allowed but here we are. Had anyone had something like this with bush bound and gagged after 2001 they wouldve been arrested and tried in a heartbeat.
I like how even in this, they’re shitty at binding someone. They can’t even pretend to do things correctly.
Haha, that’s a good point. This is the January 6th gallows all over again… These people are the edgy punisher logo manifest.
All those stupid thin blue line flags, too… Who the fuck believes that lie after Uvalde?
It’s pretty easy to find on any image search.
