Trump ‘warns’ Biden with image of president tied up and held captive in the back of Maga truck

Former president Donald Trump is facing backlash on social media after sharing a video on Truth Social featuring Maga-branded pickup trucks with an image of president Joe Biden bound and kidnapped in the back. The video, which shows two trucks adorned with flags and messages supporting Trump, has sparked concerns about promoting violence or threatening the president.

The incident took place in Long Island, New York, where Trump had attended the wake of a police officer killed during a traffic stop earlier in the day. Similar trucks were also spotted at a protest against Kathy Griffin’s event in Huntington Long Island.

Former US attorney Joyce Alene White Vance and former FBI assistant director Frank Figliuzzi have criticized Trump’s post, calling it “out of bounds” and suggesting that if anyone else had done the same, they would face consequences. The US Secret Service has responded, stating they do not comment on protective intelligence matters.

The Biden campaign has condemned Trump’s actions, stating that his incitement of political violence should be taken seriously, especially in light of the January 6th Capitol riots. In response, Trump’s campaign spokesman Steven Cheung defended the image, claiming it was simply on a passing truck and accusing Democrats of weaponizing the justice system against Trump.

The controversy surrounding Trump’s post highlights the ongoing tensions and divisions in American politics, with calls for accountability and a reevaluation of the boundaries of political discourse.
