Leftists across social media freaked out on Saturday after Donald Trump warned of a “bloodbath” in the automobile industry if Joe Biden wins in November.
Trump made the remarks during a rally in Dayton, Ohio, where he was warning about the impacts on the automobile industry if he is not re-elected.
“Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath. That’s going to be the least of it,” Trump said during a rally near Dayton, Ohio. “It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”

“If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure that you’ll ever have another election in this country,” he added.
Although Trump was obvously talking about the impact on American workers, left-wing X accounts wasted no time twisting his words as a declaration of an impending civil war:
Trump:
1) Fires RNC people who aren’t willing to break the law for him
2) Hires Big Lie proponents Christina Bobb and Scott Presler
3) Eliminates mail-in voting program
4) Promises a bloodbath— emptywheel (@emptywheel) March 16, 2024

Fortunately, other accounts were on hand to call out the hoax and remind us all why the mainstream media are not to be trusted.

That Trump meant the automobile industry, is beyond dispute.

I’ve taken down a tweet from Trump’s rally today where he talks about a “bloodbath” if Biden wins.
In reviewing the clip there’s ambiguity in what he says, and what he intends to say, but out of an abundance of caution, I’ve taken it down. OFC he shouldn’t be talking like this.
