<p>Multiple media outlets, liberal pundits, and pretty much everyone who can&#8217;t stand former President Donald Trump engaged in a virtual feeding frenzy over the weekend, frothing at the mouth over his campaign rally comment promising a &#8220;bloodbath&#8221; if his 2024 presidential bid is unsuccessful.</p>
<p>Anyone reading the headlines published by a number of mainstream outlets might believe that Trump was not just predicting, but calling for, political violence if he were to lose another election.</p>

<p>President Joe Biden&#8217;s reelection campaign <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-campaign-slams-trump-political-violence-warning-bloodbath-discussing-auto-industry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">openly accused Trump</a> of wanting another riot on Capitol Hill — a repeat of what happened on January 6th, 2021.</p>
<p>The campaign blasted Trump as a &#8220;loser&#8221; who &#8220;doubles down on his threats of political violence,&#8221; adding, &#8220;He wants another January 6.&#8221;</p>

<p>But while those outlets and others were only too happy to share that one cherry-picked line — Trump predicts &#8216;bloodbath&#8217; if he loses in November — they were equally happy to leave out the fact that at the time, he was specifically talking about the automobile industry and the economic impact of a company owned by Communist China building cars in Mexico to avoid U.S. tariffs</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the full context of the &#8220;bloodbath&#8221; comment, which he said was addressed to Chinese President Xi Jinping:</p>
<blockquote><p>Those big monster car manufacturing plants you are building in Mexico right now and you think you are going to get that — not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the car to us, no.</p>
<p>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 guys 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. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it.</p></blockquote>
<p>The lack of context displayed by many media outlets did not go unnoticed, however, and some shared side-by-side comparisons of the mainstream media headlines and Trump&#8217;s actual words.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are witnessing the invention of the &#8216;bloodbath&#8217; hoax in real time,&#8221; one captioned the comparison.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>Grabien media founder Tom Elliott followed with a video supercut of liberal media pundits using the term &#8220;bloodbath&#8221; to describe everything from economic issues and Taylor Swift ticket snafus to midterm election results and the recent shake-up in leadership at the Republican National Committee.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>Trump critics would never use a term like “bloodbath” <a href="https://t.co/6dSTMwsfJa">pic.twitter.com/6dSTMwsfJa</a></p>
