Earlier this week, Trump posted a video clip on his social media depicting a tied Joe Biden.

Now he is receiving criticism, including from Biden's team.

- Trump continues to advocate political violence and it is time to take him seriously, campaign manager Michael Tyler told CNN.

Trump posted the clip on his own platform Truth Social on Friday, CNN writes. The video appears to have been filmed the day before, when Trump was in Long Island, New York, to visit the memorial service for slain police officer Jonathan Diller.

The video shows a pickup truck with a picture of Joe Biden who appears to be lying on his side with his hands and feet tied.

- This post from Trump is exactly the kind of crap you put out when you call for "a bloodbath", says Biden's campaign manager Michael Tyler to CNN.

He also refers to the 2021 attack on the Capitol.

- It's time to take him seriously, just ask the police officers who were attacked while defending our democracy on January 6.

Trump's campaign manager Steven Cheung said in a statement that "Democrats and crazies" have called for violence against the former president and his family.

- They are also using the legal system as a weapon against him, he said.
 

Escalated mood

Ahead of the presidential election in November, the exchanges between Biden and Trump have escalated more and more.

Biden has recently mocked Trump for his golfing and even challenged him to a round himself. Earlier in March, Trump warned that there could be "a bloodbath" for the American car industry and the United States in general if he does not win the election.
