Former United States president Donald Trump has vowed that there will be a 'bloodbath' if he's not re-elected in November 2024.
As reported by NBC News, the comments were made at a rally as Trump discussed the possibility of an increasing trade war with China over auto manufacturing.

The rally was intended to challenge Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno, whom Trump endorsed in December 2023.
Trump said:
“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.”
Elon Musk defends Trump
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors and owner of X, took to social media to accuse the "legacy media" of "lies."
Similarly, Republican representative Mike Turner said on Sunday, 17 March 2024 that it was clear that Trump's reference to a 'bloodbath' pertained to the auto industry, not to a surge of political violence.
Responding to the backlash to Trump's comments, Novara Media co-founder Aaron Bastani said:
"This is categorical, unashamed fake news. It’s active misinformation, Trump was talking about Chinese cars manufactured in Mexico!"
