Trump used the stage to deliver a profanity-filled version of his usual rally speech that again painted an apocalyptic picture of the country if Biden wins a second term.
"If I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country..
Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer accused Trump of doubling "down on his threats of political violence."
"He wants another January 6, but the American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge," Singer charged in a statement.
A one-time Trump critic, Moreno, a wealthy Cleveland businessman, supported Marco Rubio for president in the 2016 Republican primary, and once tweeted that listening to Trump was "like watching a car accident that makes you sick, but you can stop looking." In 2021, NBC News reported on an email exchange around the time of Trump's first presidential run in which Moreno referred to Trump as a "lunatic" and a "maniac."
On Saturday, however, Moreno praised Trump as a "great American" and railed against those in his party who have been critical of the former president, who this week became his party's presumptive nominee for a third straight election.
"I am so sick and tired of Republicans that say, 'I support President Trump's policies but I don't like the man,'" he said as he joined Trump on stage.
Trump also continued to criticize Biden over his handling of the border as he cast migrants as less than human. "In some cases, they're not people, in my opinion," he said. ... He also criticized the Dolan family, which owns Cleveland's baseball team, for changing its name from the Cleveland Indians to the Cleveland Guardians.
I'm sorry... Your point is that people will jump on any lie that paints him in a bad light...
And so you're suggesting, after being presented with the actual facts (which actually is the version that paints him in the best light), that we reject those too...
And just choose your version of events, that you conjured out of thin air (having admitted and demonstrated that you never read past the headline)?
How is that any different than jumping on a lie? Except that this is actually worse. Before you were just ignorant. Now you know better, but you haven't changed your mind and are still pushing nonsense.
It's been said that one should never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. I've changed my mind on you.
Jokes on all y'all, I read the autotldr and I totally agree extra terrestrial aliens are taking out blood to bathe in.
I did read past the headline to get to the part about "not people", but I didnt see the importance of interpreting the quote beyond it not being about what all the other comments claimed. So the context seemed to be all about immigration, and I was probably wrong about the bloodbath.
The difference is I dont care one lick what Biden or Trump say when they are just doing their standard rhetoric. I do care about the outlier statements like they were claiming this one was.
