DOOM AND GLOOM
Trump Says There Will Be a ‘Bloodbath’ and Elections Will End if He Isn’t Reelected
Former president appeared at Ohio rally for Bernie Moreno, who is competing in a split GOP Senate race

Trump’s speech was made partially without the aid of a teleprompter (apparently it was not working for him to refer to as he mentioned several times), and he meandered, riffed, made blunders, and mispronounced several words. Though, to be fair to the apparent failing teleprompter, these gaffes have become typical during Trump’s rally speeches.
Along with giving props to Moreno, Trump also drove home his rote stories about being the most persecuted president in history; lodged put-downs of President Biden; called special counsel Jack Smith “deranged” over leading two federal probes against him; and touted his unfounded perception of the migrants coming to the United States all being “hardened criminals” that are “destroying our country,” among his other top tropes.
Of course, it would not be a Trump rally without him spouting off about the election he lost being rigged and talking in near-apocalyptic terms should he not be reelected this year.
“Now if I don’t get elected, it’s gonna 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,” he warned. Later, he went as far as ominously implying that voting as we know it won’t exist if he loses: “I don’t think you’re going to have another election in this country if we don’t win this election,” he said.
