——- Trump offends Biden campaign with latest trolling video
DM Monitoring
WASHINGTON: With the US presidential elections closing in, incumbent Joe Biden is all set to adopt a new strategy to target his rival, former president Donald Trump, Raw Story reported.
It reported that the Democrat wants the Republican to have meltdowns as he remains entangled in legal battles and has become the only former president to be indicted.
“In recent weeks, both in private and public settings, Biden has ramped up personal, biting and often sarcastic broadsides against his Republican opponent, targeting his financial challenges, his campaign tempo and even his weight,” NBC News reported.
“It’s a strategy largely driven by Biden himself, according to multiple aides and advisers familiar with the approach.”During a recent event in Arizona, the president told the participants: “Just the other day, a defeated-looking guy came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, I need your help. I’m being crushed with debt. I’m completely wiped out.’ I had to say, ‘Donald, I can’t help you.’
At another event in New York City, he said: “All the things he’s doing are so old … a little old and out of shape.”
Media reports suggest that the president wrote these jokes himself. His latest strategy is similar to that of the Lincoln Project, whose ads often made Trump angry and burst out in public as they directly attacked him.
Earlier, The trolling wars between former US president Donald Trump and incumbent head of state Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 elections in the country seem to be getting out of hand as the latest trolling attempt has offended many.
The latest shot came from Trump, 77, who shared a video on his social media platform Truth Social, showing a rendering of Biden, 81, hog-tied and kidnapped in the back of a pickup truck.
The truck was decorated with large pro-Trump sign and flags, including pro-police “thin blue line” ones. This post by Trump has the Biden campaign all riled up.
“This image from Donald Trump is the type of crap you post when you’re calling for a bloodbath or when you tell the Proud Boys to ‘stand back and stand by,’” Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement to media.
Tyler was referring to Trump threatening a “bloodbath” earlier this month for the US auto industry if he didn’t win the November presidential election, for which he received backlash from Biden. Trump and his campaign dismissed the statement claiming it as misinformation spreading 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.”
