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.
It's literal genocide. Israel is openly trying to rid Gaza of Palestinians by bombs and starvation. Calling it anything other than genocide is implicit support for the the apartheid state of Israel. October 7th was nothing compared to the suffering of Palestinians. Also why is Trump better than Desantis? Desantis has had some of the most violent policies and actions against trans people in the nation. To me it sounds like your allegiance is based not on ideology but on rhetoric.
Also, from the river to the sea, may Palestine be free.
Israel is currently bombing Gaza to get hostages back.
You’re right and I’m thankful that people are finally seeing how horribly the Palestinians have been treated for generations. The Palestinians and the US should be helping Israel oust Hamas.
I said Destantis was better than Trump. He’s the second worst possible candidate I can imagine.
The hostages are dead and Israel killed (many of) them. Even if they weren't, 35,000 and 2 million displaced in exchange for around a few hundred is absurdly disproportionate. Hamas has offered to return the hostages in exchange for a ceasefire but Israel has refused. It's not about the hostages, it's about driving the Palestinians out. The hostages are a cheap propaganda trick for people like you. Secondly, if Israel really wanted to get the hostages back, they wouldn't treat their hostages as casualties, they wouldn't carpet bomb Gaza and they wouldn't kill hostages after they wave white flags. Israel knows the route to get their hostages back, they just don't care. Even if Israel was truly doing this for the hostages, that would not make anything they are doing any better. All Palestinian violence against aggressors is self defense.
Cool.
Still, I’m voting for Biden over the guy who’s explicitly intent on overthrowing the US government. It’s not a choice I like but it’s the only logical one we have. I will stand beside you in opposition to this war but that does not mean I’m going to vote to obliterate democracy.
You're not opposing the war lmao, you're standing by it's biggest proponent and buying Israeli propaganda like it's half off. You're a clown.
