Former president Trump warns of ‘bloodbath’ if not elected
Former US President Donald Trump on Saturday warned of a ‘ bloodbath’ in the country if he does not get elected in the polls set to be held later this year, Politico reported.
Addressing a rally near Ohio’s Dayton, Trump said: “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath. That’s going to be the least of it.” He said, “It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”
It was not clear what Trump exactly meant by his remarks, as the former US President was complaining about the automobile industry. Addressing the crowd, he said China will not be able to sell any vehicles imported to the US if he gets reelected, Politico reported.
Trump often showcases a dark image of the nation to present his case against President Joe Biden ahead of the presidential elections that are likely to be held in November. He frequently uses increasingly heightened rhetoric while speaking about the felony charges that he faces in his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the run-up to the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
During his campaign events, Trump frequently brings up the events of January 6, as he still denounces the 2020 elections that he lost. As he often does, the former US President opened the rally on Saturday with a recording of January 6 prisoners singing the national anthem, Politico reported.
Saluting the crowd, the former US President announced he would issue pardons for Trump supporting ‘hostages’ on the first day of his presidency. Referring to the people imprisoned in connection with the January 6 Capitol riots as hostages, Trump, in his opening remarks, said: “You see the spirit from the hostages. And that’s what they are - hostages.”
Meanwhile, US President Joe
Biden, in his speeches, continued to bring up the events of January 6, saying the result of the November election matters for the fate of democracy. The attack continues to remain a political danger for Republicans and Trump’s campaign.
Biden and Trump secured the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations, respectively, setting up a rematch with each other, according to CNN.
Trump ‘wants another January 6’
Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign spokesperson, James Singer, said in a statement that Trump ‘wants another January 6’, after the former president’s statement on Saturday, reported CNN.
Condemning his statement, Singer emphasised that the US people would not make him win the presidential elections.
“American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge,” Singer said.
‘Open border policy’
Trump, while addressing the rally in the Dayton suburb of Vandalia, Ohio, also came out heavily against the Biden administration over the ‘heavy influx’ of migrants from the border and migrant crimes, and announced that he will terminate every ‘open border policy’ if he comes to power, Fox News reported.
The former president further attacked Biden, blaming him for ‘allowing millions of migrants’, including ‘violent gang members and gangsters’, into the US.
Mentioning the death of University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, he said: “Not one more American life should be lost to migrant crime. We can’t have another Laken...when I’m President of the United States, we will demand justice for Laken on day one. My administration will terminate every open border policy of the Biden administration,” Trump said at the rally.
He added: “The fastest way to reverse every single Biden disaster is to very simply put me back in office.” Emphasising on the situation at the Us-mexico border, Trump said: “We’re going to fix it again.”
“Among my very first actions will be to stop the invasion of our country and send Joe Biden’s illegal aliens back home,” the former President added.
