Donald Trump reiterated his criticized warning of a coming American ‘bloodbath’ Tuesday as he told supporters US communities faced ‘sacking, rape and slaughter’ at the hands of illegal immigrants.
In some of his most inflammatory comments to date on border security, Trump accused President Joe Biden of releasing ‘carnage, chaos and killing’ in a country he said was flooded with drugs and besieged by foreign criminal gangs.
‘I stand before you today to declare that Joe Biden’s border bloodbath, it’s a bloodbath, and it’s destroying our country and it’s a very bad thing happening’ he said in an apocalyptic campaign speech in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
He added, ‘It’s going to end on the day that I take office’. The former president who faces a rematch against Biden in November’s election spoke out as the Republican National Committee launched BidenBloodbath.com, a website warning of an ‘invasion aided and abetted by Joe Biden’.
While speaking about the loss of auto manufacturing jobs to foreign countries earlier this month in Ohio, Trump said if he wasn’t reelected, ‘it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country’.
The Biden campaign and Democrats accused him of provoking political violence, prompting an indignant response from Trump aides who said it was clear the tycoon was using the term to describe economic devastation.
Trump is often criticized for using extreme language that experts fear increases the risk of violence, whether in social media posts about his multiple prosecutions or at his rallies.
