Left-wing media outlets including MSNBC and the Associated Press, alongside the Biden Administration, have accused former President Donald Trump of calling for violence should he lose the election in November.
“He wants another January 6, but the American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge,” said Biden Administration Spokesman James Singer.
The accusations came in response to comments made by President Trump during a campaign rally in Ohio, where he addressed the negative impact of Chinese and Mexican manufacturing on the U.S. automobile industry.
Here is the full clip of Trump describing the “bloodbath,” which clearly indicates he was referring to the US auto industry.
With the given context, Trump actually used the term “bloodbath” as precisely defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
The context of the comment did not stop numerous left-wing outlets, and President Biden’s campaign, from accusing Trump of calling for violence against his political opponents.
Biden’s team used Trump’s out-of-context statement to cut together a campaign video, comparing Trump to neo-Nazis.
“We’re not stupid, Americans aren’t stupid, he was talking about a bloodbath; sometimes a bloodbath means a bloodbath,” said MSNBC News anchor Joe Scarborough.
Following the accusations, Trump issued a statement through Truth Social, clarifying that he was speaking of an economic bloodbath for the American auto industry, not calling for the wholesale slaughter of his political opponents.
“The Fake News Media, and their Democrat Partners in the destruction of our Nation, pretended to be shocked at my use of the word BLOODBATH, even though they fully understood that I was simply referring to imports allowed by Crooked Joe Biden, which are killing the automobile industry,” said Trump.
During his speech, Trump promised to prevent the figurative bloodbath by establishing a 100% import tariff on Chinese and Mexican made cars, while also telling voters that he would not abolish Social Security or Medicare.
Despite the outrage they are now aiming against Trump, left-wing media has had no problem using the term “bloodbath” in the past, as shown in the compilations below:

I’ve tried to give the left the benefit of the doubt all this time but it boils down to a lack of intellect noun – the faculty of reasoning and understanding objectively, especially with regard to abstract or academic matters.
Joe Scarborough summed it up with this: ” Trump knew what he was doing. We’re not stupid.” The problem is that Scarborough is stupid as are people that tune in to his show growing more stupid with every minute they spend watching Scarborough.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence and who lightly follows current events realizes the idiocy of the MSM’s propagandist use of Trump’s use of this term. Unfortunately, this might be a minority of the electorate. One can only hope otherwise.
I loved how Jesse Waters should how the left had repeatedly used the word “bloodbath” of the last few years.

Meanwhile, it will cost Trump an arm and two legs to be able to appeal the Engoron/Letitia penalty for doing nothing wrong.
The left are unhinged as usual… can’t beat him, must make things up
