Trump Criticized After Posting Video With An Image of President Biden Hog-Tied In A Truck

[Grim Reaper 6]

Former President and 2024 Republican nominee Donald Trump has been criticized after sharing a video on his social media platform, Truth Social, of a truck bearing the image of President Joe Biden tied up. But what alarmed critics the most was the image of a hog-tied President Biden on the rear of the vehicle, giving the illusion he was being held in the back of the truck. The Video was posted March 29, 2024 which showed two vehicles decked out in American flags, a Blue Lives Matter flag—showing support for law enforcement—and other images. “Trump 2024” is seen on the side of the black pickup truck. The caption on the post appeared to indicate that the trucks were spotted in Long Island, New York, on Thursday, where Trump attended the wake of an NYPD officer who was shot and killed. But what alarmed critics the most was the image of a hog-tied President Biden on the rear of the vehicle, giving the illusion he was being held in the back of the truck.

I mean, it's not like his supporters would take anything he says or does as literal and actually act on it...

 

oh wait....

The fact that Trump posted this on Truth Social is a call to violence, the only question is was he directly involved in producing the video and the photo.

Remember when Kathy Griffin was on a magazine with a decapitated Trump head?  Or maybe when they put a decapitated head of George Bush in Game of Thrones as an easter egg?  Or all the other times the left advocates violence against conservatives?

Your comments here are nothing more than Whataboutism, the fact you didn't describe the depiction of Biden as terrible means you except this behavior and thus the title of Whataboutist!!!

If @Edumakated was guilty of a Whataboutism in post #5 for bringing up Kathy Griffin, then this Tweet about Fox News' reaction to Kathy Griffin is also a Whataboutism, correct? 

But since you bring it up, I genuinely don't remember how Sean Hannity treated Kathy Griffin. I don't watch Fox News. You can go through my own post history in this forum where I have discussed the Kathy Griffin situation, and you will find I have been consistent in describing her actions as protected free speech - the old adage, "I don't agree with what you say but will fight to the death for your right to say it" rings very true here, and I fully approved of Kathy Griffin's right to free speech here. As I also naturally support Trump's free speech in posting a video of a truck!

Yes I do.  Was it right?  I don't think so.  As I recall, that was about the career ender for Kathy.  But go ahead and try to justify it to yourself and your friends.  Kathy was not my choice for entertainment, but Trump is obviously your choice for leader.  Takes all kinds I guess. I wouldn't mind so much if you could wallow in the filth to your hearts content without dragging the rest of us down into it.

No it isn't Whataboutism because I can openly admit that the photo of Trump is terrible, and him and you are unable to say the samething about the image of Biden. That is what separates whataboutism from just making comment.

If you say didn't or don't remember Hannity's comments I believe you. I don't agree with her right to share comments that could cause bodily to our leaders or anyone else. The 1st Amendment is not absolute the following are some situation that remove ones right to free speech.

The situations aren't 100% comparable, though. For one, Kathy Griffin was fired from her job at CNN after the fallout of this, so whether you agree with her or not, she did face consequences for her actions, which is something that at least CNN was consistent in their cancel-culture approach. However, this situation isn't as simple as redressing this by firing Trump like Griffin was. Trump doesn't work for CNN, or any major business, so who will fire him? But more importantly, it seems as if Trump's social media post is just passing on a video of artwork someone else was responsible for creating (unless Trump commissioned the artist to paint the truck as he did), whereas Kathy Griffin went out of her way to pose with the severed head, so while I see them all as protected free speech, there's an extra step taken by Kathy Griffin to produce and create the artwork, which may be a key distinction that CNN took into consideration (would Griffin have been fired if she posted a video of someone else holding a Trump severed head?). 

In any case, just thought I'd expand the context a bit to get a broader understanding. Cheers for reading

Edumakated's final sentence in post #5 was "all the other times the left advocates violence against conservatives".  Arguably your Twitter-response here is a direct Whataboutism to counter this claim - the equivalent of "oh yeah, the left advocates against conservatives.... what about how the conservative media did it to Kathy Griffin".

It's a classic Whataboutism of the most blatant kind!

Agreed! Kathy Griffin was never charged with a crime, it was decided that her actions didn't classify as hate speech or incitement, or any of the other points that would disqualify her from engaging in free speech. Therefore it's not illegal, therefore it's protected free speech and I will stand up for everyone's right to free speech.

I don't agree with her actions in fact I think they are despicable, But I think firing her was appropriate. Whether it's cancel-culture of not it doesn't matter.

It certainly isn't because i acknowledged the fact that the beheaded figure was wrong. I will explain it again, whataboutism is used to attempt to change a subject, people who intentionally make whataboutism posts will not acknowledge that the content is wrong and ridiculous.

This is getting out of hand. That depraved monster Trump supports this. Earlier today the Easter bunny attacked Joe Biden.

@Paranoid Android here is the definition of Whataboutism.

" the act or practice of responding to an accusation of wrongdoing by claiming that an offense committed by another is similar or worse"  Whataboutism Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

[Edumakated]

Love the claims of Whataboutism...   when they cry Whataboutism, it is because they know you are pointing out their hypocrisy.

I defend Kathy Griffin's right to criticize Trump.  My issue is that the left is constantly attacking conservatives under some guise of moral superiority.  But then when conservatives do it, then all of a sudden, we are promoting violence, it is a dog whistle to extremist to do something violent, etc.

[+DieChecker]

I'd say it is very disrespectful. But thats probably what they were going for.

"Not My President" has become all too common, and not in a goid way. And noticably comes from both sides of the equation.

C'Mon Man! Leave Brandon be... 😇

Its because theyll give you examples. But then if you give THEM examples... Well now, those arent the same. Trying to burn down a Federal courthouse, is "Mostly Peaceful".

I clearly said that he was practicing WHATABOUTISM and he did just that. I think in both cases it was despicable to post photos of either one of them, because  both the photo's violated the 1st Amendment.

Whataboutism Definition: the act or practice of responding to an accusation of wrongdoing by claiming that an offense committed by another is similar or worse 

In addition, the individuals who made the videos violated the 1st Amendment with their depictions. I am certain that the individual will be recaptured and tried for their crimes.

Limitations of the 1st Amendment:

Limitations of free speech are restrictions or boundaries to freedom of speech that relate to¹²³⁴⁵:

• Libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, and false statements of fact
• Incitement, sedition, fighting words, hate speech, and speech that causes imminent lawless action
• Classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, and fraud
• *** Blocked ***ography, speech integral to illegal conduct, and speech that violates intellectual property law
• The right to privacy, dignity, the right to be forgotten, and non-disclosure agreement
