Donald Trump says there will be a bloodbath if he loses the U.S. presidential elections to Kamala Harris

A mere half a year ago, Donald Trump put everyone through a rough and tumble when he declared that a bloodbath would ensue should he lose the 2024 election. Trump stated that if he does not get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole, that's going to be the least of it, about his proposed tariffs and the federal budget. This will prove to be a massacre for the nation.

The left, for the most part, took Trump at his word, pointing out that on January 6, 2021, his followers had previously erupted violently. The right contended that Trump was merely using metaphors. The latter claimed he was discussing a metaphorical bloodbath. Even though his blood was spilled only two months ago, Trump has now raised the possibility of blood once more. His remarks possess the typical suggestiveness that permits plausible deniability.

The point is not so much what he meant as it is that Trump persistently plays with the idea of righteous violence, which can enrage his supporters. In Wisconsin on Saturday, Trump declared that retaliating against undocumented immigrants would be a bloody story. He was referring to the recent wild rumors that an apartment complex in a suburb of Denver had been taken over by a street gang from Venezuela.

Trump has pledged to carry out a mass deportation operation if elected; history and common sense indicate that this might be dangerous and violent, much like Operation Wetback was in the 1950s. Trump's detractors interpreted his remarks as a pledge that his plan would also be a bloody story. On the other hand, Trump's supporters point out that this was a lengthy tirade directed specifically at Colorado; they assert that Trump was only forecasting that would be the outcome there due to the street gang's violent nature from Venezuela.

Trump has consistently portrayed violence in his rhetoric, often with a sense of righteousness attached. He predicted riots if denied the Republican presidential nomination at the party's 2016 convention, warned of terrible things after the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, and promoted a social media post predicting physical fights for him. He also warned of bedlam in the country if pursued on federal charges for trying to interfere in the 2020 election. Trump has also encouraged police to rough up crim ..

Two -- Trump repeated again, more than once in the debate, the lie that he was the first president to make billions from China from tariff's, where in fact tariffs have been around forever, and American consumers bear the largest brunt of the cost of them. China doesn't pay them, American consumers pay for the tariffs

Three -- And Trump just again lied that China was building huge auto plants in Mexico. they aren't

So there is another Trump lie -- On Thursday night in Milwaukee, Trump said the United Auto Workers union should be ashamed for allowing Chinese automakers to start building large factories just across the border in Mexico, from which they will ship cars to the U.S. without any taxes.
P - At present, though, industry experts say they know of no such plants under construction, and there’s only one small Chinese auto assembly factory operating in Mexico. It’s run by a company called JAC that builds inexpensive vehicles from kits for sale in that country.

Four -- And Trump again lied about Harris's border responsibility. He called her the "border czar" when she never was

Kamala Harris and the border: The myth and the facts
[...]
At least seven different speakers at the Republican National Convention over the last week have used that moniker to describe Harris, from the president of Goya Foods to anti-immigration activists to Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.
P - There’s just one problem. The vice president was never in charge of the border. That job belongs to Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of homeland security, and to Xavier Becerra, the secretary of health and human services.
