Trump’s comments came at a rally in Ohio in the context of auto manufacturing. The Biden campaign responded by criticizing the former president’s “threats of political violence.”

Former President Donald Trump vowed on Saturday that there would be a “bloodbath” if he’s not reelected in November.

The comments came at a rally here as Trump discussed the possibility of an increasing trade war with China over auto manufacturing. The rally was intended to get out the vote for Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno, whom Trump endorsed in December, ahead of Ohio’s primary on Tuesday.

Later, he added, “If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure that you’ll ever have another election in this country.”

    Is that how dumb America can be? To risk a war, a conflict or some kind of violence?

    For Trump?

      Oh, trust me, America can be dumber than that. Stupidity and violence are two of the country’s defining traits.

      The third is greed, which usually plays into the other two

      Nah, if -IF- anyone actually tries anything it’ll be like Jan 6 where they all think they’re on vacation for the day.

      But the media will all act surprises and disregard thier duty as the fifth estate. Because clicks and money.

        There were plenty of groups and independent actors at Jan 6 who were ready, willing, and able to rock and roll. The Oathkeepers were trying to get weapons into DC before that date, several other groups also tried to have weapons. They brought parts to construct a gallows, and some of these people were wearing plate carriers, carrying zip cuffs, and moving with targets in mind.

        Don’t downplay the fact that plenty of people thought it was absolutely going to be go time for them.

        Jan. 6th included multiple groups that were ready and came there for a bloody revolution, blending in and surrounded by the rubes who were drunk on the mob energy. From then till now, right wing media has been continuing to radicalize the same and new people. It is going to be bad.
