Former US President Donald Trump has once again ignited a firestorm of criticism after sharing a dramatic video of a high-speed car chase in the UK on his social media platform. The footage, which shows a vehicle being pursued by police, has drawn sharp condemnation from both sides of the Atlantic.
The video, posted without context, has been accused of glorifying reckless driving and undermining law enforcement efforts. Critics argue that Trump’s decision to amplify such content is irresponsible, particularly given his influential platform.
Public and Political Backlash
UK officials and social media users were quick to react, with many expressing outrage over the post. One senior politician described it as "a blatant disregard for public safety and the rule of law." Meanwhile, advocates for road safety have called for stricter regulations on sharing such content online.
Trump’s History of Provocative Posts
This incident is not the first time Trump has courted controversy with his social media activity. Known for his polarising rhetoric, the former president has frequently used his platform to share divisive content, often sparking heated debates.
As the backlash grows, questions are being raised about the role of public figures in promoting sensitive or dangerous material online. The incident has also reignited discussions about the need for greater accountability on social media platforms.
