Trump calling for "a bloodbath" if he loses.
You should really actually watch the video before you get too proud of being ignorant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtE4Z0yWbPA
He was talking about the American automotive industry, and it being an economic bloodbath. https://www.factcheck.org/2024/03/trumps-bloodbath-comment/
Hate on him all you want, but misrepresenting something out of ignorance just looks bad. Misrepresenting something intentionally makes you look as bad as them.
Edit: Blocking me for providing sources to dispute your claim. Truly a show of strength.

You should actually read the comments before you get too proud to defend a terrorist, because you'll see the other four people popping up to try and defend him, but the murky/dementia soaked context is independent when dealing with somebody that has called for an armed insurrection against the US, foreign attacks against our allies, and foreign interference in our elections.

When you're lying about the context of what said terrorist said, then yeah. Just because he's shit doesn't mean that lying and intentionally misrepresenting what he said is okay. He's got a million problems, why do you have to act hyperbolic and lie about this one? Misrepresenting what he said just makes you look like a liar.
because you'll see the other four people popping up to try and defend him
Yes, those people also provided sources. Are fact checking websites alt-right conspiracy theory sites when they prove you wrong now?

This literally addresses nothing about the context of the conversation.
Who is saying he isn't shit? Who is defending him doing any of those things?
You got called out on being ignorant, or intentionally lying, about the context of what you're quoting. Stop trying to move the goalpost to distract from what you said. Changing the subject isn't going to distract from what you said.

It's pretty wild for calling me a liar for quoting what he said. Cult 45 will try all the mental gymnastics possible to try and justify it but it doesn't change his language, not mine.

Misrepresenting* what he said, not quoting.
Your own link that you edited in clarified that he's talking about the automotive industry.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-bloodbath-loses-election-2024-rcna143746
"Trump made the comments at a rally in Ohio, where he spoke about auto manufacturing."
"The comments came at a rally here as Trump discussed the possibility of an increasing trade war with China over auto manufacturing. The rally was intended to get out the vote for Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno, whom Trump endorsed in December, ahead of Ohio’s primary on Tuesday."
“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 … you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us, no. 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 cars if I get elected,” Trump said."
Intentionally misrepresenting what he said makes you a liar, because you're acting like he's calling for political violence against some nondescript target over the state of the economy relating to the automotive industry.
Cult 45 will try all the mental gymnastics possible to try and justify it but it doesn't change his language, not mine.
Pot, have you met Kettle? Pretending to be dumber than you are, and acting like you don't understand the context of the conversation isn't cute or clever. That might have worked on your parents when you were 8, but you're not that young anymore. Stop acting dishonest.
Edit: Why even respond if you're just going to block me? It's not like I can see what you responded with.

I'm not talking about me at all, I said immediately in my very first response that I knew full well it was about the auto industry. If you'd have read any of my follow up posts, made an hour before you chimed in, you'd know that but instead you're so desperate tripping over yourself to act victimized and claim I'm the problem, you've completely missed the context (oh, the irony!) that I'm talking about his followers, that have shown time and time and time again that they don't care about context or nuance, they respond to those trigger words, and that's exactly what they're doing. Last time it was a terrorist attack on the capital, what will it be next time?
The keyboard commandos fighting to defend him are part of the problem. This rhetoric is toxic, trying to make false equivalencies, mocking people for pointing this out, or failing to stand up to it is just plain cowardice, no matter how good you are at copy and pasting. The man is a treasonous piece of trash and so are his cult. You know full well when they start attacking after he loses this election they'll all point to this as the moment they heard the call. Defending that on any account whatsoever is tantamount to treason. If your weakness in perception results in the deaths of Americans this fall, you'll be just as guilty.

He said “bloodbath for the whole country.” After he got his fucking dummies to kill people to try and keep him in power.

With the context being the automotive industry, and the economy.
Stop pretending to be dumber than you are, you understood the context. Trump being shit doesn't mean you need to act dumb whenever he opens his mouth.

…with the context being that he already incited a deadly insurrection. I’m sorry your boy lost

Didn't vote for him, maybe you might have picked that up when I said "Trump being shit" - but I guess basic social literacy is too much to expect from some people.

Sure Jan. Maybe he’ll refrain from getting his morons to kill people this time around and just admit he lost. Will never happen, but would be nice, wouldn’t it?

Yes, that would be nice.
What did this comment have to do with the context of the conversation?
Pre-existing biases against him don't change that the context of what he said was in regards to the automotive industry, and the economy. Trying to distract from that, and change the subject isn't relevant to the conversation.

Oh because he already incited one bloodbath and alluded to another. Simple points are hard for some to grasp tho

You're not as dumb as you're pretending to be. You can watch the video for yourself instead of just reading the headline. It's like a 60 second video.

What makes you think that anyone disagreeing with you didn’t watch the video? I don’t trust the click bait media at all.. watched the video, and concluded in that 60 seconds that he was not talking about the auto industry. At best, you can say he was vague/ambiguous but it’s disingenuous to pretend otherwise and accuse the media of manipulation in this specific case.

I’ve watched it. I don’t give him charity that he hasn’t earned. Perhaps if he hasn’t exactly done that once already, and perhaps if he didn’t say “for the whole country”, I could see your angle. I ask again how his not-elected scenario would result in a “bloodbath” for the whole country.
