Donald Trump Warns of "Bloodbath" If He Loses Election to Biden Again
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump campaigned in Ohio over
the weekend and warned there would be a "bloodbath" in the United States
if he lost the election to Joe Biden.

Donald Trump: "Now, if I don't get elected, it's gonna be a bloodbath
for the whole - that's gonna be the least of it. It's gonna be a
bloodbath for the country. That'll be the least of it."

During the same speech, Trump escalated his dehumanizing attacks on
migrants.

Donald Trump: "If you call them people - I don't know if you call them
people. In some cases they're not people, in my opinion. But I'm not
allowed to say that, because the radical left says that's a terrible
thing to say. They say, 'You have to vote against him, because did you
hear what he said about humanity?' I've seen the humanity, and these
humanity - these are bad - these are animals, OK?"

Trump also called for the jailing of lawmakers who took part in the
House select committee that investigated the January 6 insurrection.

In related news, Trump's former Vice President Mike Pence has said he
"cannot in good conscience" endorse Trump's reelection bid.
