'Bloodbath'
Donald Trump is a dangerous man. Words have power, particularly when they are spoken by a man who could be president of the United States.
Imagine what the media would do to Joe Biden if he talked this way. They would crucify him, and rightly so.
Trump gets away with it. It's just Trump. Yes, it's Trump. And he believes it. And he acts on it. He very nearly undermined our democracy. He still rues his failure to succeed in doing it. He tried. He came close. And now the Republicans are setting him up to do it again.
Alarmist? Who is alarmist?
Me or the man forecasting a bloodbath? Me or the man accusing me of antisemitism? Me or the man calling desperate people animals, denying their humanity? Me or the man quoting Hitler?
This is what he says. He has shown us his cards. He has made clear that he will do what he says. It is not just rhetoric. It is a warning that we dare not ignore, and that the media is wrong to discount. He is, if nothing else, a man of his word.
