While Trump’s eyebrow-raising remarks may have invoked visions of Jan. 6, the ex-president was specifically making his comments in relation to car manufacturers.
Clickbait headline - and I know most viewers/commenters aren’t even opening that link. The quote was “bloodbath for the auto industry.” Takes it from a threat of anarchy to a simple negative assessment of the auto industry.
There’s plenty to not like about this shitbag without getting sensationalist about it.
“Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole—that’s going to be the least of it. It’s gonna be a bloodbath for the country,” he declared.
While the context may have been “auto industry,” the message was clear.

Yes, but the context is also that bloodbath doesn’t mean a literally blood bath.
All this type of deception does is give Trump supporters an out and the ability to claim that Trump is not a threat to the country, by pointing out that this claim is a lie. Stop defending it. It’s a blatant lie, so much so that they had to change the title of the article already (the OP correctly copied what was originally posted, it now says “auto industry” instead of America).
The dailybeast is a far left media source with questionable credibility when it comes to reporting the facts. Don’t step up to the plate to defend their blatant deception. If we want to claim that we are on the side of rationality and logic, it’s best to call out the BS from your own side when you see it.
I mean, he literally said blood bath for the country. Not really any other way to take that. For his supporters and fearful on-the-fencers they can think up all sorts of literal blood bath scenarios and many figurative interpretations. The Daily Beast is no high bar outlet but he did say what he said.
Exactly. All these people listening to what he said before or after, looking at the context, are fascists. We have his one word quote. That’s all the proof I need to reinforce my existing opinion.

Not really. From the article:

Mate you seem desperate to find balance via a critical eye when what’s happening is your bias against a publication is showing.
He’s an old man spewing word salad. He just says shit and people interpret him like augury because none of it actually makes sense. 🙄
Well its not like opening the link helps, i got a pop up that wouldnt load so thus i couldnt read what it said. Thanks for the info, still shitty.
Yeah, even the linked article’s headline says auto industry. Trump sucks enough, we don’t need to make up quotes for him.
Except he doubled down and also said there would be a bloodbath for the country. Other headlines found this to be more important.
Yeah, that little bit of context changes things a lot.
