Trump promised a “bloodbath” if he doesn’t win the elections, but clarifies: “I was referring to the automobile industry”

“The media and the Democratic Party “pretended to be shocked by the use of the words BLOODBATH, even though they knew I was just referring to the imports allowed by Dishonest Joe Biden, which are killing the North American automobile industry. American.”

This is how Donald Trump reacted this Monday, on the “Truth Social” platform, to the criticism he received on Saturday: during a rally in Ohio, the Republican candidate promised the creation of a 100% tax on Chinese brand cars that are manufactured in Mexico and then imported to the United States.

“If I am elected” in the November presidential elections, he added – and that doesn’t happen, “there will be a bloodbath across the country, at the very least”, he said to the crowd. “Workers in the automotive sector understood perfectly what I meant,” he said later, on the social network he helped to found. A few hours later, he challenged BIden to a debate.

The Democratic campaign criticized Trump’s words: the former Republican president is a “failure who loses by more than 7 million votes” who is radicalizing his speech and “doubling his threats of political violence”, reads one statement from the office of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

“He wants another January 6th, but the American people will give him another electoral defeat in November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence and his thirst for revenge”, guaranteed the Democratic candidates.

“There is something wrong here. I am very respectful of the American people and their kindness, but what more does Trump have to do to make them realize that he does not represent our country?” asked Nancy Pelosi, former leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, in an interview with CNN on Sunday.

Donald Trump beat all internal candidates in the fight for the Republican nomination, but in almost all states by smaller margins than the polls indicated – but this may not be repeated in the predictions against BIden that will be published in the coming months, points out a article in the newspaper “Politico” published this weekend.

A recent Ipsos poll, published by Reuters, indicates that the two candidates are practically tied in the race for the next term in the White House: 39% of voters prefer Biden, and 38% opt for Trump. There are a large number of undecided people. Furthermore, 11% guarantee that they will vote for other candidates, 5% prefer to abstain, and 7% have not yet chosen or prefer not to reveal.

Biden’s age is one of his main electoral weaknesses, Trump is facing justice: the former US president informed a court this Monday that he is unable to pay a bail of 415 million euros, after being convicted in a case for civil fraud and which is in the appeal phase.
