    I don't know, it looks like Trump and the GOP are leading Bribed Joe and the Dems in a LOT of metrics.

    What did he say before and after that snipppet. Hmmm.

    Trump once said this pizza is the bomb. You might want to accuse him of wanting to start WWIII:)

    Also…this!! Are you terrified because they all said it:)

    Seriously did you watch the video or just read this quote. It’s sad. There’s only ONE way to interpret the quote. Using intelligence or ignoring all rational thought.

    One would think you would find out for yourself if you were lied to...

    "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.

    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,” he added. “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."

    ... obviously he's talking about the job market in the auto industry being a bloodbath, another way of saying it's go to be "****ed up".

    Not a "snippet" no matter how much you wish it were.
    It is an exact quote covering multiple sentences.

    WWIII is your issue. After all he's your geriatric Alzheimer's ridden loon.

    It is a snippet. Add the sentences BEFORE and AFTER and claim with a straight face it didn’t have to do with the auto economy. It takes a small mind to ignore context.

    And are you equally outraged when all these people used the same words?

    OH WOW! I'm shocked at how lame is that comment!!!

    As if Trump hasn't hidden behind the "context" argument in the past!

    Tell me, based on the greatest of Trump's rhetoric which is more plausible, a threat of violence or an economic projection? It's his trademark - lash out with violent rhetoric and hide behind 'context" and the old "I was misquoted" horseshit when thigs get ugly.

    The likelihood that Trump used the word "bloodbath" in economic terms is totally inconsistent with his speech patterns of the last 12 years. Trump is all about SHOCK VALUE and LOVES violent rhetoric.

    Lame. Just a lame defense. You should at least find a defense of it as no one believes it a 'misquote'...not that lying ****!

    The quote is accurate and complete.
    If you want a transcript of Trump's syphilitic rantings I believe he'll sell you one or give you one free with every sneaker purchase.

    With Trump the context is always to gin up the hate in his mob and direct that hate to violence.

    But you go on and try to derail the thread with unrelated stuff from your MAGA handlers. Obedience is your reward.

    TDS. Don’t need a transcript. I can watch the video that proves the context. All right there in plain English. Reading or listening comprehension 101.

    Why won’t you admit what he said before and after that snippet? Because it makes you WRONG and you know it. But you’d rather keep trolling.

    And over 70% of democratic voters don't really want Biden to be the nominee.

    I can hardly wait until Biden is out of office - I bet some of the stories will make these stories look like fairy tales.

    Admit?

    I QUOTED WHAT HE SAID BEFORE AND AFTER

    Including this part..."---" where he hesitated before deciding to incite violence.

    You can believe whatever bullshit you want to believe. I'm no longer going to cater an attempt to understand the MAGA faithful. Their minds have become mush.

    Biden is the one who called our economy Bidenomics.

    LOL. He's ahead in every single swing state because Biden has destroyed the country, and the world.

    All I know is that I am better off today than four years ago, and if that's called Bidenomics, then I'm all for it.

    His dumb / prejudicial comments are not helpful ..........and only create more division. If his MO is to divide and conquer,,,, ,,he might get his way. And That would be horrific. His comments do NOT represent this nation , it's modern and progressive attitude and humanitarian principles. Those that support him. support his destructive comments by default.

    There is NO defense for his comments. What you get from his loyalties is just spin , rationalization... and their "interpretation " of his comments twisted to be favorable. Just like his comments about Jews and voting Dem. Another Trumpian style verbiage that is meant to inflame and divide. His simple mind goes for SHOCK value when it can't go for intelligent substance .

    It's pretty well established at this point that the MAGA minions are really bad at math, as well as social perception of how many of them there are.

    The unemployment rate was lower in Feb 2020 than it is now. The labor participation rate was higher in Feb 2020 than it is now. The polls say that Trump is better equipped to handle the economy and polls rate the economy better under Trump than Biden.

    Yet none of them would vote for T****. Meanwhile fewer than half.of.the Republicans who voted when there were alternatives voted for T**** and many will vote against him. His own former VP has said.he won't vote for.him. How bad is that?

    I've said.it before and I'll say it again, Biden is only running to take the horse hockey coming out of T****'s mouth until he is ousted by courts and or bankruptcy. When T**** is out of the equation and Republicans can reclaim their party then I fully expect him to step out.
