33. "Bloodbath" in Context of Auto Industry
Sat Mar 16, 2024, 10:44 PM
Mar 2024

As horrible as TSF's remarks were and his usual "every accusation is a confession," here are his actual words:

“If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now…you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us, no. 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 cars if I get elected,” Trump said.

"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," he added. "It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.”

Later, he added, "If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure that you’ll ever have another election in this country."
