Donald Trump is lashing out at the media for being 'shocked' over the coverage he's received after saying there would be a "bloodbath" if he lost to President Joe Biden in November. Even though he has embraced violent rhetoric in the recent past, he repeatedly dehumanized migrants and Democrats and continues to lash out at the media. Just before his bloodbath remark, Mr. Law and Order called the Jan. 6th defendants "hostages." Trump took to his flailing social media platform Truth Social to complain that the coverage was unfair.

"The Fake News Media, and their Democrat Partners in the destruction of our Nation, pretended to be shocked at my use of the word BLOODBATH, even though they fully understood that I was simply referring to imports allowed by Crooked Joe Biden, which are killing the automobile industry," the twice-impeached former President insisted.

"The United Auto Workers, but not their leadership, fully understand what I mean," he added. "With the Electric Car Mandate being pushed by Biden, there soon won't be any cars made in the USA - UNLESS I'M ELECTED PRESIDENT, IN WHICH CASE AUTO MANUFACTURING WILL THRIVE LIKE NEVER BEFORE!!! MAGA2024"

Sure thing, buddy. We're supposed to believe that he meant there would be an economic "bloodbath" in the auto industry unless he's elected. Are you fucking kidding me? Was it about the auto industry when he said that Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, deserved to face the death penalty? It was just auto industry talk when he called for shoplifters to be shot on sight in California.

It was just auto industry talk when he mocked Rep. Nancy Pelosi's husband, who was violently attacked during a home invasion by an assailant with a hammer. I could do this all day. Trump's bloodbath remark was a shoutout to his 'stand back and stand by' crowd. You know, the same thugs he wants to pardon after they assaulted police officers during the Capitol attack, which he incited.

If Trump hadn't embraced violent rhetoric before, he would be given the benefit of the doubt because no one wants to believe that such a monster exists. And no one wants to think that the beast has so much support. But he does. Go on, mock Pelosi's husband again, you freak.

Let me clear this up: Trump's grab them by the pussy comments were not "locker room talk," and his bloodbath remark was not auto industry talk. I'm so sick of his flying monkeys who excuse his appalling behavior—every single time.

When he issues a threat, believe him:
