Donald Trump is slammed by White House for sharing image of Joe Biden HOG TIED in bed of truck while returning from murdered NYPD cop’s wake
Former President Donald Trump posted a video on social media that showed a tied-up President Joe Biden painted on the tailgate of a passing truck.
The video was posted during Trump’s ride back to his private jet after attending the aftermath of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, who was killed in the line of duty earlier this week.
The clip, posted to Trump’s Truth Social account with only a caption showing the date and that it was on Long Island, was played on mournful piano as cars showing their love for Trump drove down the highway.
A representation of the current president, tied up, sat on the back of a large truck with multiple flags in support of police and a license plate with red “TRUMP4US,” as well as a painting of the opening to the Constitution.
The Biden campaign quickly condemned the video because it showed physical harm to the sitting Democratic president.

“Trump regularly incites political violence and it’s time people take him seriously — just ask the Capitol Police officers who were attacked on January 6 to protect our democracy,” said Michael Tyler, communications director for the Biden campaign .
Biden has portrayed his likely 2024 opponent as someone who freely invokes Nazi imagery regarding immigrants, while also emphasizing in speeches that Trump’s efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 election ultimately led to a attack on the US Capitol.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung responded Friday evening: “That photo was on the back of a pickup truck driving down the highway.”
“Democrats and crazed lunatics have not only called for despicable violence against President Trump and his family, they are actually weaponizing the justice system against him,” Cheung added.
The US Secret Service issued a statement saying it “does not confirm or comment on protective intelligence matters.”
Seeking a return to the White House, Trump has painted an apocalyptic picture of the country if Biden secures a second term.
‘If I don’t get elected, it will be a bloodbath for the entire country, that’s the least of it. It will be a bloodbath for the country,” he warned earlier this month at a rally in Ohio, while speaking about the impact of offshoring on the country’s auto industry.
Trump has spoken of immigrants “poisoning the blood of our country,” echoing the rhetoric of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

And he once described his enemies as “vermin,” language his opponents say reflects his authoritarian beliefs.
At a recent rally, Trump went so far as to label Biden’s handling of the border as “a conspiracy to overthrow the United States of America.”
Last year, before his indictment in New York over hush money paid on his behalf during his 2016 campaign, Trump posted a photo on social media of himself holding a baseball bat next to a photo of District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
In a 2018 speech, Biden discussed lewd comments Trump had made about women and expressed his disgust by suggesting a willingness to physically fight the then-president.
“If we were in high school, I would take him behind the gym and beat him up,” Biden said at the time, adding that any man who disrespected women was “usually the fattest, ugliest SOB in the room.” ‘
