A day after attending a wake for NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, who was fatally shot during a traffic check on Monday, Donald Trump has discovered an on-brand method to appear to support law enforcement while also cosigning a violent attack on President Biden.
According to The New York Times, Trump spoke to more than a dozen police officers and family members during the aftermath, stressing the need for the country to “return to law and order.” However, in a post on Truth Social, he appears to celebrate the opposite, recirculating a video of a pickup truck in Long Island painted with thin blue line flags and a decal of what appears to be a bound and kidnapped Biden on the tailgate, giving the impression that the president is locked inside.
In contrast to approving of roughing up Biden, the post made just before the one mentioned above shows photos of Trump being embraced by Diller’s friends and family members at the wake, as well as praise for the GOP frontrunner being “an absolute stand-up man” who continues to call for the change that is needed.
