Media's Wall-To-Wall Coverage Of Trump ‘Bloodbath' Comment Delivers Zero Context
[DailyWire] Multiple media outlets, liberal pundits, and pretty much everyone who can’t stand former President Donald Trump engaged in a virtual feeding frenzy over the weekend, frothing at the mouth over his campaign rally comment promising a “bloodbath” if his 2024 presidential bid is unsuccessful.Anyone reading the headlines published by a number of mainstream outlets might believe that Trump was not just predicting, but calling for, political violence if he were to lose another election. President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign openly accused Trump of wanting another riot on Capitol Hill — a repeat of what happened on January 6th, 2021. The campaign blasted Trump as a “loser” who “doubles down on his threats of political violence,” adding, “He wants another January 6.” But while those outlets and others were only too happy to share that one cherry-picked line — Trump predicts ‘bloodbath’ if he loses in November — they were equally happy to leave out the fact that at the time, he was specifically talking about the automobile industry and the economic impact of a company owned by Communist China building cars in Mexico to avoid U.S. tariffs Here’s the full context of the “bloodbath” comment, which he said was addressed to Chinese President Xi Jinping: Those big monster car manufacturing plants you are building in Mexico right now and you think you are going to get that — not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the car to us, no.
