AceShowbiz - Former President Donald Trump ignited controversy on Friday, March 29, by posting a video on Truth Social depicting an image of President Joe Biden tied up in the back of a pickup truck. The video was reportedly captured in Long Island, where Trump had attended the wake of an NYPD officer killed in the line of duty.
The post featured two trucks adorned with pro-Trump decals and flags. On the second truck, an image of Biden with his hands bound behind his back was displayed.
According to Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung, the image was seen on a passing truck on the highway. Slamming the hypocrisy of Trump's political rival, Cheung said, "Democrats and crazed lunatics have not only called for despicable violence against President Trump and his family."
However, Biden campaign spokesman Michael Tyler sharply criticized the post. "This image is a clear example of the dangerous rhetoric that Trump uses," Tyler said. "He's regularly inciting political violence, and it's time people took him seriously."
Tyler's comments echoed concerns about Trump's past language, particularly in light of the January 6 Capitol incident.
The video follows a pattern of inflammatory rhetoric from Trump. He has been repeatedly accused of inciting violence, and federal officials have warned him to refrain from using language that could "incite civil unrest."
