Don’t Normalize Trump’s Threats of Violence
The former president’s constant appeals to malice and division can be exhausting, but they are an assault on the foundations of a civil society.
Don’t normalize his behavior.

Donald Trump took to his social media platform on Friday and posted a short video that included an image of President Joe Biden hogtied and held hostage in the back of a pickup truck.
That’s just Trump having fun at the expense of a political opponent, you might say, and, well, Trump’s tomfoolery is simply more juvenile and vicious than your average former president. Nothing to see here. So move along, snowflake.
