Is it appropriate for Trump to post a video showing an image of Biden tied up in the back of a pickup truck?

I'm no fan of Biden but this is in appropriate. There are crazy people on both sides and this kind of imagery could encourage a crazy person on Trump's side to attempt to harm Biden.
I suspect some folks will dismiss this and maybe call it simply an attempt at humor or even attempt to say me posting about it is a form of Trump hate. So be it.

I bet they seriously do that when he's riding in "The Beast"They were just trying to secure him so he didn’t slip over the side. They were just showing they cared for him. Sorta like securing a baby in a car seat.
I've said many times that I'm not a fan of this kind of stuff, but we all know Trump sometimes has the sense of humor of an adolescent boy. Next thing you know, he'll be making fart jokes on Dallas Hwy.Is it appropriate for Trump to post a video showing an image of Biden tied up in the back of a pickup truck?

The pic/video above has been going around Facebook, and presumably Twitter as well. No, Trump probably shouldn't have shared it, but it's just how Trump plays the media, and we should all be used to that by now. While I agree it's a bit tasteless, I don't think it's as big a deal as you do.
I'm curious how you felt about DeSantis making a commercial attacking Trump by using AI to simulate Trump's voice, with the intent of making people believe Trump said things he never actually said?
DeSantis also ran some ads against Haley, taking snippets of her on video out of context to make it appear she flip flopped on certain issues when she didn't (even if she was on the wrong side of them).

Do you agree that there are some crazy people on both sides of the political spectrum? What would happen if one of those crazies decided to try to kidnap Biden after seeing Trump endorse it by posting it on his social media (crazy person could easily view that as an endorsement)? Chances are the crazy person wouldn't be successful but what if a member of the Secret Service got injured or killed during such an attempt? What if an innocent bystander got injured or killed during such an attempt? Is this farfetched...sure, but it could happen. How did Trump benefit from posting that? I can't think of any positive he could get from it other than helping hardcore Trumpsters get off after seeing it. Trump already has those voters so, again, no actual benefit.
You agree that him posting it was not the best idea, but then you attempt to justify it. Why?
I don't agree with using fake AI generated audio. Having said that, are you going to apologize to DeSantis for saying he made that commercial? He didn't. A DeSantis PAC made it. I'm sure you are aware that candidates are not allowed to have direct control over PACs, right?
Regarding the other ads by DeSantis (or were they by PACs or other organizations), those sound like normal political ads. If you are so concerned about those, why weren't you complaining about Trump's ads lying about DeSantis for over a year?
There is a clear double standard by some over what Trump does and says vs other politicians.

Trumps says and does way more stupid shit that his supporters overlook and even attempt to justify.
Noticed you chose to ignore the rest of my post.
Most of it was same ole stuff.
Here's the deal...everyone knows Trump talks crap and says stuff he shouldn't. It's not news, he's been doing it for years and it's not likely to change. No one here is overlooking or attempting to justify; there's simply nothing we can do about it.
But The People have spoken, he is the Republican nominee and likely the ONLY candidate who can save us from four more years of Biden. So I'm gonna support him, flawed as he is, because my fight is with Biden/Democrats.
If you see that as justifying and overlooking, then I respectfully suggest your problem is with you. I'm simply being logical about trying to win this election.

I knew you were going to go down the "he's the nominee so it's either him or Biden" path as that is common when Trump is criticized here. I get it...we all get it...short of something crazy happening, Trump is the Republican nominee so it will be either him or Biden/Newsom/whomever as POTUS starting next January. Again, everyone understands that but that doesn't mean we all should ignore or attempt to justify stupid shit Trump does.
What good does it do to constantly post about it? Other than possibly making you guys feel better, I don't get it. It takes the "beating a dead horse" thing to a whole new level.
Granted, The Hwy doesn't have a massive circulation, but this kind of stuff could cost Trump some votes. Even with Trump's liabilities, I'll take him over Biden or most Democrats any day.
One thing I've noticed is...if I'm not as outraged over the latest stunt Trump pulled as you guys are, then I'm automatically a Trump supporter/Trumper/blind/justifier, etc. I'm the enemy because I'm not totally pissed off at Trump.
Frankly, those of us who don't spend our days trying to find the latest "AH-HA" on Trump are trying to understand why you guys are so intent on slamming him every single day. Frankly, I think it's just plain weird. Trump is Trump, all of us here have acknowledged his mouth problem. There's been no overlooking or justification, I think everyone here agrees he needs to learn to shut up. But he's not my enemy. In fact, he's the only candidate who can defeat my political enemy, so I see no point in constantly slamming him.
As much as it hurts me to admit it, Ronald Reagan is dead and not coming back. This time around, all we have is Trump. He's carrying the ball for us.
If you still want to nit pick our quarterback about every little thing, then you have that right. But a lot of us think it's just weird.

Who is constantly posting negative things about Trump? I'm certainly not.

Um...you have stated that you are supporting Trump. Nobody is asking you to be outraged about Trump's stupid shit. However, most times you attempt to explain it with statements like "everyone knows Trump says dumb stuff". You agree that some of the stuff he does is stupid...why then attempt to explain it away.
Every single day? Post the receipts showing I've been posting negative things about Trump every single day. I'll wait but I'll be waiting a while because the evidence doesn't exist.

See, now I'm the bad guy because I won't join you on the Trump bashing wagon.If I don't agree with you, then I become the target.
Your post above suggests I'm wrong to "explain it away". I'll just ignore ignore it going forward. You and Boss can indulge yourselves.
