Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is known for his bold rhetoric. However, he showed no restraint with the supporters in Ohio. He threatened the end of democracy in the US and predicted a “bloodbath” if he were defeated.
When Trump took the stage in Ohio, he made it clear which way things were going. The ex-president saluted the jailed perpetrators of the Jan. 6 Capitol storm, describing them as “hostages.” His campaign team played a dark version of the national anthem.
Trump then irritated people with radical predictions: “If we don’t win this election, I don’t believe there will be another election in this country,” he said on Saturday. And: “If I am not elected, there will be a bloodbath for the entire country.”
Trump calls for ‘massacre’
However, US analysts attribute the ‘massacre’ claim to the auto industry, which Trump was talking about as he left the teleprompter. The 77-year-old spoke at a meeting about China’s alleged plans to build cars in Mexico and then sell them in the US: “They won’t be able to sell these cars if I get elected.” He then spoke of a “bloodbath” in the event of defeat. He emphasized: “That will be the least of it, it will be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the minimum. But they won’t sell these cars.”
The “Carnage” scene to watch:
Trump also angered people with inhumane statements about migration. He claimed, without providing evidence, that countless people from Congo cross the US border every day. He said he was unsure whether these undocumented immigrants could still be called people, adding: “They are animals! Hardened criminals!”
Trump was, as usual, erratic in his speech. It was striking that he repeatedly had difficulty finding words. For example, he had difficulty pronouncing the word ‘bite’ correctly. He also had problems reading his speech correctly at other points. He accused his opponent Joe Biden of being the “worst” president of all time and a “creepy eccentric.”
Biden spokesperson responded promptly
US President Joe Biden’s press team responded immediately. His campaign spokesman, James Singer, condemned the “losers’ statements.” He accused Trump of “extremism,” a “thirst for revenge” and “threats of political violence.”
Nearly eight months before the American presidential elections, incumbent Joe Biden and his challenger Donald Trump are almost equally popular with voters. Trump managed to close the gap with Biden in polls among non-white voters. These formed a core part of Biden’s coalition when he defeated Trump in 2020.
