The headlines were published in virtually every newspaper and website in the country and broadcast on nearly every television station: “Trump predicts bloodbath if he loses.”
It turned out to be a comment taken completely out of context by the national media during a speech he delivered Saturday in Ohio.

President Trump was referring to the automobile industry and overseas manufacturing production.
“While it was unclear what the former president meant exactly, the remarks came as Trump was complaining about the automobile industry,” Politico reporter Myah Ward wrote in a story titled, “Trump says country faces ‘bloodbath’ if Biden wins in November.”
That’s a load of Grade-A bull feces.
She knew EXACTLY what Trump was talking about and if she really didn’t — Ms. Ward should find another line of work.
Here’s the full transcript of what President Trump said:
“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, and you think you’re going to get that, you’re going to not hire Americans, and you’re going to sell the cars as now 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 guys if I get elected. 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 going to be a bloodbath for the country.”
Breitbart News
Michael Tyler, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, said Trump’s comment was an “endorsement of political violence.”
Just a few of the national media outlets that gladly used the term "bloodbath" in their coverage of President Trump last week… #fakenews #bloodbathhoax pic.twitter.com/QeKIlLtJnn

“What I heard was the same endorsement of political violence we have seen from Donald Trump for years, as you pointed out, and goes farther back,” he told MSNBC.
This guy should consider getting his hearing checked because that’s not at all what Trump was doing.
“This is the same guy, after Nazis marched in Charlottesville, after they killed a woman, said there were fine people on both sides,” he continued. “This is the same guy who in 2020 told a white supremacists group, the Proud Boys to stand back and stand by. Now, every day on the stump he is championing and praising the insurrectionist will he encouraged to violently storm the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow our democracy.”
It’s not surprising that Tyler would bring up Charlottesville — and the scurrilous lie about Trump calling the white supremacists “very fine people.” It simply did not happen. The Democrats know that and the media knows it as well.
The media’s deplorable and disgusting behavior goes far beyond incompetence. It’s criminal.
But I think the American people have figured out what the media and the Democrats are up to – which is one reason why so many news organizations are either shutting down or gutting their newsrooms. And it’s one reason why Democrats are going to be run out of office in November. Some, might even call it a bloodbath.
