Former President Donald Trump brandished handcuffs in a TikTok video he posted Wednesday morning about “law and order.”

In the short video clip, the ex-president is standing with a police vehicle behind him. A caption that says “Bring Back Law and Order” with an American flag emoji appears above his head.

“We’re a nation in decline,” says Trump. “Nobody is safe. Absolutely nobody. We’re gonna be a strong nation again. We’re gonna be a safe nation again.”

He then holds up a pair of handcuffs. “This is safe.”
