    Ignoring his rhetoric for a minute… Trump is not wrong about the second wave of foreign cars into the US. CONSUMERS shouldn’t care. CAR MANUFACTURING employees should care as their jobs might get displaced; however with every brand that lands in the US, repair services increase.

    Trump is big on tariff and trade wars. What does 4 years matter in the long game? Americans should re-evaluate what Biden is doing with Infrustructure that has a 50 year impact. What is Trump doing?

    "Before?" At this point, there's a body count.

    Although somewhere in the middle to the extent that while Trump was probably not predicting a literal blood bath his statement can reasonably construed to mean that Trump was predicting and may be calling for political violence should he lose the election.

    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.

    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. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories

    Absolutely in context it was about the car industry. That being said, he knows what his supporters are capable of and he knows how perilous a time this is for the country. It's irresponsible for him to use terms like bloodbath if he actually cared about toning down the tensions in this country. I don't believe it's innocent or accidental - it's making his point while maintaining plausible deniabilty.

    Should have just stopped with the “it was about car industry”. It’s always interesting how trump is the dumbest president ever elected but he can speak for hours without a teleprompter and use a phrase on the fly allegedly on purpose and planned with a subtle insidious nature. Yet the other guy literally can’t put 5 words together even using a teleprompter for 3 minutes and we are reminded he’s a brilliant statesman. Feel free to get spun up. Not trying to stop you. I bet trump was just in a hurry to go pee on some hookers.

    The latest example showing that the DNC and the MSM cannot resist a lie that advances their aspirations for political power.

    Meanwhile, in substance, do you think Trump will put a 100% on the auto-imports? And while we are there, remember why the big manufacturing plants are in Mexico? I’ll give a hint: Trump’s “epic deal” on NAFTA. His “ greatest deal ever” predictably backfired and increased the plants to be built in Mexico, rather than here. In other words, he ran the 2016 election making the same threats, and his actions worsened the situation. It’s basically how he rolls.

    How is anyone supposed to respond to this when you don’t provide a link or even a direct quotation to what Trump said? And just so you don’t bomb Too Hot with new threads, why not have a single thread for dumb stuff Trump said. There’s going to be plenty of material in the months to come.

    The way Trump stans valiantly defend his honor is fascinating. A study will be conducted on this one day.

    Quick show of hands of all the liberals out there, have you ever read and did you take any lessons from the book you read in school called "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"?

    I don't know about peeing on hookers, but you've hit the nail on the head. There is criticism. I criticize Trump. I hope someone else not named Biden or Trump is our next POTUS. But you must put the political fundamentalist straight jacket on and parrot the talking points of the DNC and the MSM or you are MAGA. That is how this religion works.

    WOW.

    100% tariffs. DEFEND THAT! That's a guaranteed bloodbath! @Contra rated that "winner". It's amazing that the ethanol king is grooming the pubs into radical communism.
