Trump threatens a bloodbath if he loses
Trump threatens a ‘bloodbath’ in the U.S. if he loses to Joe Biden in November.
He made these statements in Ohio while discussing protectionist measures for vehicles manufactured in the United States, according to EFE.
The apocalyptic tone of his comments left the audience intrigued and concerned.
The New York mogul, known for his inflammatory and controversial rhetoric, has been criticized for refusing to accept his defeat to Biden in 2020.
Trump promises to free Jan. 6 rioters if he’s elected
Trump also faces charges of attempting to overturn the election results four years ago and allegedly inciting the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
During his speech in Ohio, Trump not only reiterated his refusal to acknowledge the 2020 election results but also made a controversial promise.
He referred to those detained for the Capitol assault as «hostages» and asserted that he would pardon them if he manages to return to the White House.
This statement has sparked criticism and concerns about what could happen to the justice system and democracy in general if he’s reelected.
He lashes out against immigrants
In addition to his remarks about the possible bloodbath and pardons, Trump continued his divisive rhetoric by making offensive remarks about immigrants.
He used derogatory terms and labeled them as «criminals,» even questioning whether they deserve to be considered «people,» according to EFE.
«They’re not people in my opinion, but I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says it’s a terrible thing to say. They are animals and we have to stop them!» he railed.
This unleashed a new wave of criticism for his disparaging and dehumanizing words.
Does Trump want a repeat of the Jan. 6 chaos?
These statements, along with his historic challenge to the election results and his ominous warning of a possible bloodbath, have further fueled tensions in the United States.
The response from the Biden campaign was swift, as they issued a strong statement characterizing Trump as a «loser.»
Additionally, the Biden campaign accused Trump of seeking to repeat the chaos and violence witnessed during the Capitol insurrection.
Democrats reiterated their confidence that the American people will reject the extremism, propensity for violence and thirst for revenge displayed by Trump.
The Biden campaign claps back
«[T]he American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge,» Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer said.
This message underscores their stance of rejecting Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric and his history of divisive behavior.
Trump’s nomination to be the Republican candidate for president was confirmed last Tuesday when he garnered enough delegates in the primaries.
This mathematically secured his position to be named the presidential candidate at the Republican convention scheduled for July.
