Trump warns of ‘bloodbath’ if he loses presidential vote — RT World News
The former president said the United States may never hold another election if he doesn't win in November
Former US President Donald Trump warned “Bloodbath” For the American auto industry and the entire country if he does not win a second term as a result of the vote on November 5.
Trump made the statement during a rally in Vandalia, Ohio, on Saturday while talking about his plans to protect American automakers from Chinese competition.
The former president addressed Chinese leader Xi Jinping from the podium, saying this “You and I are friends, but…those big car factories you're building in Mexico now…you're not going to hire Americans and you're going to sell cars to us, no.”
He added: “We will impose a 100% tariff on every car that comes through the line, and you will not be able to sell those cars if I am elected.” The presumptive Republican candidate in the elections added.
Trump urged Americans to vote for him in the fall, saying: “Now, if I'm not elected, it will be a bloodbath for everyone — that's the least that could happen. It will be a bloodbath for the country. That's the least of it.”
Later in his speech, he also warned the crowd about this “If this election isn't won, I'm not sure you'll have another election in this country.”
Trump's speech that evening was mostly improvised as he complained about being unable to use a teleprompter due to strong winds. “I can't read this damn teleprompter. This sucker is moving. Like reading a moving flag in a 35 mph wind.” The 77-year-old said.
US President Joe Biden's team interpreted Trump's reference to A “Bloodbath” As a threat “political violence” From their competitor. He added: “He wants January 6, but the American people will give him another electoral defeat next November, because they continue to reject his extremism, his love of violence, and his thirst for revenge.” Biden campaign spokesman James Singer said in a statement.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Carolyn Levitt responded to the accusations later Saturday, telling CNN “Crooked Joe Biden and his campaign engage in deceptive, out-of-context editing.”
Levitt explained that the former president was speaking exclusively about the country's auto manufacturing industry. “Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and auto workers.” She said.
