"Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.” Trump also suggested that if he loses the election, there might not be another election in the country.
Former President Donald Trump made a controversial statement during a rally in Ohio, where he warned of a potential “bloodbath” if he is not reelected in the upcoming election. During the rally, Trump discussed the possibility of an increasing trade war with China over auto manufacturing.
The former U.S. official stated, "If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now…you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us, no. 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.”
Today, while there are those who argue that Trump’s comments were taken out of context. somehow, they believe Trump was emphasizing the severity of the economic consequences if his proposed policies were not implemented. Others view his words as a veiled threat, implying potential violence or upheaval if he is not reelected.
As the nation receives Trump’s comments, there is an immediate calling forth of reflection ofthe 2021 President-Elect Joe Biden confirmation and the events involving the insurrectionist’s attack, that which was conducted by thousands of mobsters who did break and enter the U.S. Capitol, thereby, violating federal grounds and property. The Jan.6 insurrection was a heinous and seditious near bloodbath that cost the lives of 3 Americans.
The Biden campaign criticized Trump’s “threats of political violence,” emphasizing that his policies would harm the auto industry and workers. Trump’s reference to a “bloodbath” has raised concerns about the potential impact on the nation’s stability under a Trump administration or not.
