Trump gave the remarks during a rally in Ohio where he addressed the crowd in support of Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno, whom the former president had endorsed in December.
He also threatened a trade war with China over car manufacturing in his speech.
“Let me tell you something about China, President Xi and you and I are friends but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you are building in Mexico right now and you think you are not going to hire Americans and sell the cars to us, no’, Trump said.
He added, ‘We’re going to put a 100 % tariff on every single one of those cars that comes across the line and you are 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 it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they are not going to sell those cars.”
“If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure that you’ll ever have another election in this country,” the former US president later added.
Trump is known for his inflammatory rhetoric and has been called a threat to democracy by his successor since the former president said that he would not be a dictator except for day one back in December.
In response to the former president’s remarks, Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, ‘Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and auto workers’.
