Donald Trump's 'bloodbath' remarks backfire amid Joe Biden's criticism

Donald Trump claims that President Joe Biden and the media had purposefully used "my words out of context" as a part of a "bloodbath hoax".

According to Trump, his words have been misinterpreted by Biden and his allies. He made "bloodbath" remarks in contest with the rival Biden, however, his comments were shortly backfired at him.

The former president, in a four-minute video posted on Truth Social on Friday, March 22, called the remarks he made at a campaign event the previous weekend a "bloodbath hoax," accusing his political rivals in the "Biden campaign" and the "fake news media".

Trump said while speaking in Dayton Ohio: "If I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country." Those comments came ahead of the Biden administration this week finalising new vehicle-emission standards designed to boost the sales of new electric and hybrid vehicles.

In the Truth Social video, Trump replied: "I said that, if we don't win, there will be a bloodbath for the US auto manufacturing industry, which is right now turning very bad, and that's 100% true, that's going to happen, that's a fact." He said "crooked Joe Biden" is attempting to "destroy the US auto industry" with his "extreme" electric-vehicle mandate, according to Newsweek.

Trump said that the mandate means Biden is "doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party" and that the new electric-vehicle rules will "let China steal hundreds of thousands of American jobs."
