Donald Trump Says There Will be 'Bloodbath' If He Loses Election, Predicts End of US Democracy

Former US President Donald Trump stirred yet another controversy with his remarks when he vowed that the country will witness a bloodbath if he loses the Presidential elections this time. He further added that the US will not see another election if this is not won.

The Republican leader was speaking at a rally in Ohio to seek support for his Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno, whom Trump endorsed in December. The former President made the contentious remark while speaking about the possibility of an increasing trade war with China over auto manufacturing.

“If you’re listening, President Xi, you’re building monstrous car plants 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. Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole that’s gonna be the least of it,” NBC quoted Trump as saying

“It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories. If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure that you’ll ever have another election in this country,” he added.

Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt attempted to defend the former President and said Joe Biden’s policies on auto and manufacturing are creating an economic bloodbath for Americans.

As a response to Trump’s remark, President Joe Biden’s team noted that former VP Mike Pence refused to endorse his former colleague, who continues to exhibit “his extremism, affection for violence and thirst for revenge.”

“This is who Donald Trump is: a loser who gets beat by over 7 million votes and then instead of appealing to a wider mainstream audience doubles down on his threats of political violence,” James Singer, a spokesman for President Joe Biden’s campaign told the publication.

The decision makes Pence the latest in a series of senior Trump administration officials who have declined to endorse their former boss’s bid to return to the Oval Office.
