This week, former president Donald Trump shared a video on its social media platform featuring the President Joe Biden with his hands and feet tied.
Trump uploaded the video to Truth Social yesterday afternoon, saying it was recorded on Long Island on Thursday, when he attended the wake of a fallen police officer in Massapequa Park, New York, the New York Times reported.
The video shows two moving trucks adorned with flags and decals supporting Trump. Biden’s image is featured on the tailgate of the second truck.

Disturbing images aimed at Trump’s opponents have frequently circulated online within right-wing circles and pro-Trump factions, occasionally appearing at conservative gatherings.
Images of trucks showing comparable depictions of Biden in restraint have circulated widely on social media platforms, and online merchants have been selling vehicle stickers featuring these images, the New York Times reported.
Trump’s decision to share the video and image illustrates his growing tendency to launch harsh, personalized attacks against Biden. That includes a recent speech in which he compared everything Biden touches to dirt.

In response to the viral image, Steven Cheunga Trump campaign spokesperson said, “That photo was on the back of a pickup truck traveling down the highway,” adding that “Democrats and crazy lunatics not only called for despicable violence against President Trump and his family , they are actually using the justice system as a weapon against him,” according to the New York Times.
The Trump campaign has often referenced past Democratic remarks to justify Trump’s rhetoric.

According to the New York Times, Cheung referenced a Biden statement from 2018, when the president said that if he and Trump were in high school, he would have taken Trump behind the gym. This was in response to Trump’s derogatory comments about women on a tape linked to “Access Hollywood.”
Earlier this month, Trump dehumanized migrants, labeling them “not people,” and warned of a potential “bloodbath” in the auto industry if he lost the election.
In a subsequent radio interview, he took aim at Jewish Democrats, claiming that those who support the party harbor animosity toward their religion and toward Israel.
