The White House has called out former President Donald Trump for sharing a video featuring a grim image of President Joe Biden.

Trump posted the video while he was returning from the wake of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller who was killed this week. The video shows the back of a pickup truck with an image of Biden with his hands and feet tied. The truck also includes several pro-Trump images, including a sticker that says “Trump 2024” and a custom license plate of “TRUMP4US.” Other cars with pro-Trump imagery were also seen driving down the highway.

The Biden campaign condemned Trump for suggesting harm and violence against the current president. A spokesperson for Biden’s campaign, Michael Tyler, said, “Trump is regularly inciting political violence, and it’s time people take him seriously—just ask the Capitol Police officers who were attacked for protecting our democracy on Jan. 6.”

With the upcoming election, Trump has previously painted a dark image of the United States. Earlier this month, Trump said the country will face a “bloodbath” if Biden wins again.

Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump’s campaign, responded with, “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.”

Referencing his numerous criminal cases, Trump shared a separate post on Truth Social this month comparing his plight to the persecution of Jesus Christ.

The former President has also been vocal about his anger toward Judge Arthur Engoron and Attorney General Letitia James for his $454 million bond, calling the civil fraud case “rigged and corrupt.”
