The ongoing trolling battle between former US President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden in preparation for the 2024 elections is escalating, with the latest trolling attempt causing offense to many.

Trump, 77, recently shared a video on his social media platform Truth Social, depicting Biden, 81, tied up and taken in the back of a pickup truck.

The truck was adorned with large pro-Trump signs and flags, including thin blue line ones in support of the police, as reported by ABC News.

This post by Trump has sparked outrage from the Biden campaign. Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler criticized the image, comparing it to previous instances where Trump incited violence or made controversial statements.

Trump and his campaign denied the accusations, dismissing them as misinformation spread by political opponents.

“Trump is regularly inciting political violence and it’s time people take him seriously — just ask the Capitol Police officers who were attacked protecting our democracy on January 6,” Tyler added in his statement.

Trump shared the video on Friday after he attended a wake for slain New York Police Department (NYPD) officer Jonathan Diller on Long Island, New York, the same day Biden raised $26 million at a star-studded fundraiser with former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Meanwhile, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung defended the Republican’s post in a statement to ABC News, pushing back on the rhetoric surrounding the video.

“That picture was on the back of a pick up truck that was traveling down the highway,” Cheung said. 

“Democrats and crazed lunatics have not only called for despicable violence against President Trump and his family, they are actually weaponising the justice system against him.”
