 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. That'll be the least of it. Those comments that you just heard from Trump drew widespread condemnation given how there was actually violence the last time he lost the election that he still won't admit he lost, mind you, hence why there was violence. But President Biden quickly pounced on that comment and released an ad juxtaposing his bloodbath comment with extremism that he enabled while he was president. Now, Trump is crying fake news and says that he was taken out of context in a tweet on truth social. He writes 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 understand that I was simply referring to imports allowed by crooked Joe Biden, which are killing the automobile industry, the United Auto Workers, but not their leadership fully understand what I mean with the electric car mandate being pushed by Biden. There soon won't be any cars made in the United States of America unless I'm elected president, in which case auto manufacturing will thrive like never before, MAGA 2024. Now, if you zoom out and listen to more of that clip, it is clear that he is indeed using that word within the context of a broader discussion about the automobile industry. But it's not as cut and dry as he wants you to believe. I'm actually not entirely sure what he's trying to say there, but let's listen. And you're not going to be able to sell those cars. 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. That'll be the least of it. But they're not going to sell those cars and building massive factories. A friend of mine. So it is true that he was talking about the auto industry and seemingly said that it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole industry. But then if you'll notice he pivoted to a mini tangent where he added, that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That'll be the least of it. So to me, it sounds like he's saying it's going to be a bloodbath for the auto industry. Sure. But that'll be the least of our concerns if I don't win this election because it won't just be a bloodbath for the auto industry. It'll be a bloodbath for this country. That's kind of how I interpreted it. But it's Trump. So it's not necessarily the most coherent thing in the world. Having said that though, if we're extra charitable here and we assume that he was specifically talking about the auto industry, I don't think that people are wrong to be on edge when he makes a comment about that, especially considering the fact that again, there was literally violence after he lost the last election. But at the same time, I don't think that it's helpful to harp on things that he says that are less clear because it cheapens the things that he says that are unambiguously authoritarian or violent. For example, when he was president, he got caught on Hot Mike sharing his dictatorial ambitions with a Fox News host. Are we close to seeing Mr. Kim here at the White House? Could happen. I mean, they talked about that yesterday. I think it's something that could happen. Yeah. Hey, he's the head of a country. And I mean, he is the strongest. Don't let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same. That right there to me is one of the worst things that Trump has said, because people don't treat leaders that way unless they're brainwashed or afraid of them. But that's the kind of impact that a narcissist like Trump wants to have when he walks into the room. Now, at the time, he claimed that he was just kidding and being sarcastic. But after his emboldening of extremists and January 6th and his Hitler quotes in Project 2025, it's obvious that he wasn't just being sarcastic. But regardless of how you interpret his bloodbath comments, it's not even the most controversial thing that he said over the last week, because at that same rally during an anti-immigrant screed, he said something way worse. Young people, they're in jail for years. If you call them people, I don't know if you call them people. In some cases, they're not people in my opinion, but I'm not allowed to say that because the radical left says that's a terrible thing to say. They say you have to vote against him because did you hear what he said about humanity? I've seen the humanity and these humanity, these are bad, these are animals, okay? And we have to stop it. We can't have another Lakin. We have so many people. We have so many people being hurt so badly and being killed. They're sending their prisoners to see us. They're sending and they're bringing them right to the border and they're dropping them off and we're allowing them to come in. And these are tougher than anybody we've got in the country. These are hardened criminals and we've got hundreds of thousands of them and we're going to get them out fast. We're going to have the largest deportation effort in history. But with all of that, with all of that, we've got ourselves a problem. When you have 15 million people, many of them, many of these people are people that should not be allowed into our country. Yeah. So this is similar to the super predator rhetoric that we saw during the tough on crime era in the 1990s. He's trying to give himself plausible deniability by singling out criminal immigrants specifically, but make no mistake about it. The goal here is to insinuate that we should be suspicious of all immigrants since there's so many criminal immigrants being purposefully sent here. Now this is in line with the comments that he made back in 2015 when he announced that he was running for president where he generalized all Mexicans as criminals and rapists, but said, well, I assume some are good people. We know what he's trying to do here. He's trying to make broad generalizations to smear an entire group of people. But the fact remains that immigrants are statistically less likely to commit crime than American citizens. And when they're here, they pay taxes and they contribute to the economy, but they don't get to vote. They get exploited. So this generalization that he's using against immigrants is deeply racist. See, we don't assume that Americans are bad because some of them commit crimes and murder, right? So why don't we apply that same logic to immigrants? Well, it's because he wants you to think that they're all bad. He wants you to think the worst of immigrants to justify his largest deportation effort in history, which won't just target the criminals that he's supposedly talking about. Mind you, there's going to be innocent people who are deported as well if he actually goes through with this. Now, people who are here illegally oftentimes enter the country legally, but they overstay their visas. And because our immigration system is broken, purposefully so, mind you, they can't become citizens even if they've tried to do everything to become citizens or get visas. We have a broken immigration system. So through no fault of their own, they're here here illegally. They came here legally, built lives here, and then their visas expired. What do you expect them to do? What would you do in that situation? But he wants to demonize them and deport them because that's what he's running on. He's trying to make you afraid of all of them. And after previously saying that immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country, I think that overtly hilarious rhetoric is far worse than anything else that he said recently, especially knowing what we know now. For example, his former chief of staff, General John Kelly, described a conversation that he had with Trump where he was literally envious of Hitler. Quote, he said, well, but Hitler did some good things. I said, well, what? And he said, well, Hitler rebuilt the economy. But what did he do with that rebuilt economy? He turned it against his own people and against the world. And I said, sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing. Kelly recounted. I mean, Mussolini was a great guy in comparison. CNN continues, Trump's admiration for Hitler went further than the German leader's economic policies, according to Kelly. Trump also expressed admiration for Hitler's hold on senior Nazi officers. Trump lamented that Hitler, as Kelly recounted, maintained his senior staff's loyalty while Trump himself often did not. So I mean, these things are starting to add up, right? He wants his generals and his administration officials to be as loyal to him as the Nazis were to Hitler. He wants people to respond to him in the same way that they respond to Kim Jong-un, right? They sit up and they give attention to him. He's also praised Victor Orban, Hungary's fascist prime minister. And of course, he's praised Vladimir Putin as well, along with other dictators. And he hasn't praised them in a diplomatic sense, right? Where it's like, hey, we're peers, we work together as fellow world leaders to get things done. He talks about them in an envious way. He admires how they're able to command loyalty and consolidate power. And conspicuously, he's trying to do the same fucking thing now with Project 2025, right? But at this point, nothing that Trump says is really shocking to me, because it's obvious that he has dictatorial ambitions. And regardless, if he actually intended to say that there's going to be a bloodbath if he loses or not, I mean, does anyone even expect there to be peace if he loses? Of course, there's going to be riots. Of course, he's going to cry rigged and foment even more outrage among his already unhinged base. And there's going to be a shitstorm. So at this point, what Trump says doesn't really matter in my opinion, because it's clear that he is a threat to democracy regardless. And we don't really need additional sassy comments from him to come to this conclusion. I feel like it's pretty clear, right? Most people can see it. The question is whether or not Americans are going to take this threat seriously. And we're not going to know until November 5th. So we'll just have to wait and see.
