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.

Joe Biden has been supporting Israel for 50 years. You aren't angry about Joe Biden's support for Israel. Shut the fuck up

Every (modern) president has been supportive of Israel. We’ve been sending them billions every year for 50 years. Biden isn’t going to fix this and Trump will without doubt be immeasurably worse.

Everyone here keeps claiming I like Biden. I started this whole thing by saying I would I sooner support a Biden I dislike even more before I would support Trump. I don’t know why it’s difficult to grasp disliking one person and disliking another person even more and choosing the better of two evils. This is a very basic concept. Although, to be honest, as much as I dislike Biden for so many thing's he's done or hasn't done, I have to admit he has far exceeded anyone's expectations. I don't like him but I respect the job he has done.

Have people just forgotten that we had a President Trump? That he was impeached twice. That he’s a convicted sex assailant. That he set into place increased taxes for the middle class. That he manipulated our legal system and seated the most conservative judges ever across this country. That he tried to interfere with our election and overturn the results. That he has brought unwarranted doubt to our electoral process. Republicans and conservatives are trying to take this guy down. I can not imagine how horribly evil or brain dead someone must be to consider this guy.

You've proven my point, you talking about how much you respect a genocidal Zionist tells us all we need to know about how "angry" you are. Eat shit you genocidal worm.
