vegetaTrump Declares It Will Be a ‘Bloodbath’ for America if He’s Not Elected
Clickbait headline. 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.
ALQNot really. From the article:
“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.
hemmesI 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.
Mate you seem desperate to find balance via a critical eye when what’s happening is your bias against a publication is showing.
queermunist she/herHe’s an old man spewing word salad. He just says shit and people interpret him like augury because none of it actually makes sense. 🙄
He’s also the front runner for the us president seat. Don’t fucking downplay this shit just because you’re uncomfortable an old man is saying crazy shit.
