Former President Donald Trump's estranged niece, Mary Trump, issued a dire warning on Saturday after her uncle's "bloodbath" remark at a rally.
Trump, the presumed 2024 GOP presidential nominee who was in Ohio on Saturday for a campaign stop at the Buckeye Values PAC rally, came under criticism for telling rallygoers that if he doesn't get reelected in November "it's going to be a bloodbath for the country."
Following his remark, Mary Trump took to X, formerly Twitter, to warn others of the seriousness of her uncle's statement.
"Donald Trump does not deserve the benefit of the doubt and this isn't a f***ing joke. His statement is both a threat and a promise. The corporate media needs to start acting accordingly," she wrote.

(5,485 posts)Perhaps they want a civil war, so they can be the brave reporters who report events from the sidelines?
An actual civil war, right here in America!
And not some shithole country for once!
How exciting!
Really going to draw eyeballs to our TV/newspaper/whatever!

(102,509 posts)WAKE THE HELL UP. Does the assessment of his own niece and noted psychologist, Mary Trump, mean nothing to you?
Context my ass. Defend him and his "Trumpisms" at the risk to ALL OF US. NOT!
I wish I could recommend this to be at the top of "Greatest" indefinitely. So many need to read her words and contemplate.
There is no context in which his use of that word is harmless.

(6,876 posts)when they hear him say "blood-bath" they, smile, reach over and reflexively caress the barrel of their AR-15. That's wrong on many levels, none of which indicate "harmless".

And an ability to manipulate and control others.
He will burn it all down to get what he wants.
And he will enjoy it very much.
People need to wake the hell up.
Trump is not a harmless buffoon.

(1,135 posts)And it's disturbing the number of seemingly informed and engaged DU members who are dismissive of the actual threat this monstrosity and his cult represents. If they weren't shocked by what occurred during his first term in office and what he's proposing for the sequel, they certainly should be alarmed by the unwavering devotion to him and propensity for violence by his followers - especially considering how many are willing to sacrifice their freedom, careers, health, families, and financial well-being for him.

(42,669 posts)That is what Mark Meadows said Trump told him after he came offstage on Jan. 6th, after claiming onstage that he would be with them as they marched to the Capitol.
Much later we found out about the raging hissy fit when Secret Service refused to drive him to the Capitol. He did mean it literally. Claiming figurative language or sarcasm is one of his often-used strategies for weaseling out of blame.

Think again.

(4,699 posts)with many years of experience with dementia who was saying trump's condition will worsen. Besides more garbled speech and more limited vocabulary, his emotions, thoughts and speech will become even more simplistic and angry. Plus he'll have less ability to reign in comments that will get him in trouble such as promising a bloodbath or further defaming E. Jean Carroll.
