If Trump succeeds in selling Truth Social, the Chinese own a presidential candidate.

@rbreich Isn't threatening a blood bath if not elected the very definition of "terrorism" in most laws "using threats of violence for political aims"?

@revk @rbreich y'all really need to watch the whole clip that you're taking that quote out of context from. He was talking about the auto-industry. It was a choice of word, but you look silly acting like he was threatening civil war.

@schizanon @revk @rbreich Absolutely, you should 100% know the context to the "bloodbath" quote. Also, share it widely.

In context, Trump is even worse.

There's plenty of legitimate things you can criticize Trump for. This ain't it. He's right about Chinese auto manufacturing.
