Trump Shares Controversial Image of Biden, Sparks Criticism
Ex-President Donald Trump shared a controversial video on his social media site, Truth Social, showing an image of President Joe Biden being hogtied. Critics have condemned the move as a new low in Trump’s political tactics.
The controversial 20-second video features a pickup truck with pro-Trump flags and a decal on its rear end. The decal displays Biden tied up by his hands and legs, lying in a horizontal position.
Trump said the video was recorded while he was attending the wake of Officer Jonathan Diller in Long Island, who was fatally shot on duty in New York City.
Trump Faces Backlash for Graphic Content
The video sharing incident brought a fresh wave of criticism for Trump. Critics pointed out the continual use of disturbing imagery by Trump during political campaigns. They claim this incident crosses a notable boundary in U.S. politics.
Laurence Tribe, a retired Harvard Law professor, condemned the graphic image. He said, “A realistic image of President Biden tied up in the back of a van with Trump gloating at the scene. He’s indirectly threatening the president’s life.”
“This is a felony. If an ordinary person did it, they would be arrested. What next?” Tribe questioned.
There was no immediate response to a request for comment from both the Biden and Trump campaigns.
