Trump posts video with an image of a hog-tied Biden, drawing a rebuke from campaign

[Social Media]

 

The online landscape became a battleground of controversy as former President Donald Trump stirred the pot with a video featuring an image of a hog-tied President Joe Biden painted on the tailgate of a passing truck. The video, posted on social media, quickly drew condemnation from the Biden campaign, which interpreted it as suggesting physical harm to the sitting Democratic president.

 

The Biden camp wasted no time in rebuking the video, highlighting Trump's alleged propensity for inciting political violence and drawing attention to the January 6 Capitol insurrection. Michael Tyler, communications director for the Biden campaign, emphasized the seriousness of Trump's actions, citing the sacrifice of Capitol police officers in defending democracy.

 

 

In response, Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, downplayed the controversy, attributing the image to a pickup truck spotted on a highway. Cheung accused Democrats and other critics of hypocrisy, alleging that they have not only condoned violence against Trump and his family but have also weaponized the justice system against him.

 

The U.S. Secret Service, tasked with protecting current and former presidents, refrained from commenting directly on the matter, adhering to its policy of not discussing protective intelligence matters.

 

The video was shared on Truth Social, Trump's own social media platform, with the caption indicating that it was filmed during Trump's visit to Long Island, New York, where he attended the wake of a New York City police officer who lost his life during a traffic stop.

 

The incident further underscores the contentious political climate in the United States, where even imagery in social media posts can spark heated debates and accusations between political rivals. As the 2024 presidential campaign looms on the horizon, such incidents serve as a reminder of the deep ideological divisions that continue to define American politics.

I suppose there is always Fox News for the "real" truth. 

 

Do you watch it often?

Perhaps it's time for a Kathy Griffin encore.

 

Of course, she's just an entertainer, not someone "Presidential" like the bloated orange one.

There, corrected it. And note that, in relation to my correction, In response, Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, downplayed the controversy . Downplayed, didn't condemn it, so in effect supported it.

[thaipo7]

Tug  You amaze me in the way you constantly think.  When I first saw the picture of Biden tied up, I did not think of harming him.  I thought this would be good to show him down on the destruction of the USA.  One man wrecking ball.  92 Executive Orders showing the world what a Dictator is like.  Giving the finger to the Supreme Court while forgiving Student Loans.  He has no authority and the Supreme Court told him so.  He does not care.  Power and money, right now mostly power.  Despots around the world are so proud of him.   You are too.  Why?

I am thinking this was someone’s ham hocked response at the portrayed photos of Trump behind bars or in prison attire. The subtle difference is lost on those without critical thinking … or just the ability to think …

Maybe you should try thinking instead of posting crap.

Fascists can't win so they advocate and engage in violence and we have clowns on here that support it.  [Trump] is shocked he lost an election where he had negative job numbers.

Oh but they will get all upset about that while they encourage violence for their treasonous side.

[newnative]

Trump is such a horrible human being.  Disgusting behavior, sinking ever lower, when you think there can't be anythng lower.

[bendejo]

Anyone remember the Kathy Griffin to-do when DT was in the White House?

 

[bamnutsak]

The First Amendment allows idiots to express themselves too.

 

I thought this was going to be a lot worse than it was.

The morbidly obese, convicted sex offender, convicted charity fraudster, convicted bank and insurance fraudster, twice impeached, under 91 felony indictment pile of festering mutant scum had best be careful. His post could be construed as 'threatening the President', which is a crime.

 

The arrested and released on bail fat guy is free ONLY so long as he doesn't commit a new criminal offense. That is the primary condition of any bail. If his post is viewed as a threat, that is a crime, and he could be jailed while awaiting any of his many trials.

 

I bet the coward would give up his delay strategy if he was placed in Rikers Island with his perjury-convicted financial guy.
