The situation seems to be a case of a single word taken out of context to declare that Trump was calling for a violent "bloodbath" if he loses.
https://thefederalist.com/2024/03/18/cnn-analyst-spreads-disinformation-to-get-feds-to-meddle-in-elections-against-trump/QuoteOn Saturday, Trump warned Americans of an economic “bloodbath” in the auto industry if Biden wins a second term.
“China now is building a couple of massive plants where they’re going to build the cars in Mexico,” Trump said during an Ohio rally. “[China thinks] that they’re going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border.”
“We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars — if I get elected,” the former president continued. “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath.”
Democrats and the media, however, cut the clip to suggest the former president was simply saying there would “be a bloodbath” if he lost. All over TV screens and social media last weekend, they spread the deliberately false disinformation narrative that Trump had called for a violent “bloodbath” if he loses.
Because we can read.
Tho not sure how he's gonna do that. I mean, he signed the agreement China will use to get cars over the border. What, was it a bad deal?
