New controversies in the US presidential election campaign.

Once again, they are aroused by the Republican candidate Donald Trump, who published a video on his social network Truth with the image, painted on the tailgate of a pick-up, of Joe Biden, incumbent president and candidate of the Democrats, lying on his side and tied with a rope at his hands and feet.

“Trump regularly incites political violence and it's time people took him seriously — just ask the Capitol police officers who were attacked while protecting our democracy on January 6th,” said Michael Tyler, Biden's campaign communications director. .

The response from the tycoon's campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, was ready: «That image was on the back of a pick-up truck traveling along the highway. Democrats and lunatics have not only called for despicable violence against President Trump and his family, they are actually weaponizing the justice system against him."

The offending video would have been shot on Long Island (New York) probably when the tycoon attended the funeral of an officer killed during a check.
