While speaking at a rally in Dayton, Ohio over the weekend, Donald Trump was addressing China’s President Xi Jinping and the state of the American auto industry when he said the following:

“If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now, and you think you’re going to get that, you’re going to not hire Americans, and you’re going to sell the cars as now we’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those guys if I get elected. Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — That’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”

Although Trump was referring to the auto industry, the Left edited the sound bite and circulated it widely on social media channels to make it seem like the former president was warning that there would be violence in America is he’s not elected.
X owner Elon Musk called it a “hoax-making in process.”

 
Even after being called out on social media channels and in X’s community notes, the left continued to run with the story to hurt Trump’s 2024 chances against Biden.
During a recent episode of MSNBC’s Inside with Jen Psaki, Michael Tyler, who is the Director of Communications for President Biden, told the former White House press secretary that
“What I heard was a continuation of the same rhetoric, the same endorsement, of political violence that we’ve seen from Donald Trump for years…it goes even farther back. This is the same guy that after Nazis marched on Charlottesville that there were ‘very fine people on both sides,’” Tyler told Psaki.

 
Trump’s Charlottesville quote was another example of the Left misrepresenting the former President’s statements; he condemned the Nazis and nationalists marching in Charlottesville that day.

And, of course, the panel on MSNBC’s Morning Joe was more than happy to continue the campaign of lies Monday morning as host Joe Scarborough doubled down on the “bloodbath” narrative despite being called out on X and taking down his original post.
