Chaos counts, as conman asks “whaddya have to lose?” In Ohio over the weekend, Donald Trump delivered one of his most unhinged and dangerous rally speeches yet: He used appallingly dehumanizing language about migrants, saluted the January 6 rioters as patriots and heroes, and predicted a “bloodbath” if he loses the election. We talked to New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser, the author of an excellent new piece about Trump’s use of violent and authoritarian language at rallies like this one, about why the media urgently needs to do better at conveying the full threat to democracy that Trump poses. newrepublic.com/… "You want to talk about the language of tyrants and dictators? Rule number one is to call your opponents scum, nonhuman, subhuman. This is what we're openly hearing from Trump ." @brianklaas The “bloodbath” comment was at a rally that began with Trump saluting as he listened to a version of the national anthem sung by people in prison for violently trying to overturn an election on January 6th. If you think he’s just talking about the auto industry, you’re delusional 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. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. x “Just bullsh*t!” Joe Scarborough destroys Trumps defense of his “bloodbath” comments.

Here Trump speaks about the auto industry but the emotion of "me, or a bloodbath" echoes his Jan 6 "If you don't fight like hell [for him], you won't have a country anymore." https://t.co/yQrN5F5Qtw — Ruth Ben-Ghiat (@ruthbenghiat) March 17, 2024 x Caught on hot mic — Trump: "[Kim Jung Un] speaks and his people sit-up in attention. I want my people to do the same”pic.twitter.com/8QTPM7VXzG — Morgan J. Freeman (@mjfree) March 17, 2024 x How should prosecutors & courts respond to Trump's promise of a "bloodbath" if he's not elected. Will they receive this deadly threat with a shrug? Or will they apply the law as intended, revoke him on pretrial release and detain him pending trial? https://t.co/oh88NEBorE — Glenn Kirschner (@glennkirschner2) March 18, 2024 x Trump and his campaign team have been threatening a “bloodbath” for eight years, using that precise word.

Reagan cracked, “If it takes a bloodbath, let’s get it over with, no more appeasement.” (1970) Dozens were shot, hundreds were arrested, and thousands were teargassed – protesters and innocent bystanders alike. During the military occupation of Berkeley by National Guardsmen, a helicopter launched a chemical attack on the University campus, children were surrounded by bayonet-wielding soldiers, and journalists were detained under the supervision of brutally sadistic guards.
