  • Goldberg: Did Trump literally threaten a 'bloodbath'? No, and claiming he did only helps his campaign

    At a rally in Ohio on Saturday, Donald Trump said that if he is not elected in November, there will be a “bloodbath.” That he said that much is true. Having actually read the text of his remarks, however, I do not believe he was threatening: Elect me president or the streets will run red with blood. But that is exactly how many, particularly in the media, interpreted his comment. “In Ohio campaign rally, Trump says there will be a ‘bloodbath’ if he loses November election,” read a CBS News...

  • Mainstream media claims Trump called for a 'bloodbath' if he isn't elected, but FACTS get in the way

    The mainstream media is no stranger to taking statements out of context — and former President Donald Trump is one of its favorite targets. At a recent rally in Dayton, Ohio, Trump used the word “bloodbath” while discussing the economy and what would happen to the auto industry specifically if he weren’t elected, and the cherry-picking media is having a field day. “China now is building a couple of massive plants where they're going to build the cars in Mexico and think they're going to...

    Former President Donald Trump told a story on Monday in which he claimed that he decided not to list the Trump Media & Technology Group on the New York Stock Exchange, even though the exchange “badly” wanted the company, because businesspeople are “treated too badly in New York” and “don’t want to be attacked by a thug like this horrible attorney general that we have in New York.” There is one problem.
