If he loses, a “bloodbath” and the end of the US elections would follow.
That's what Donald Trump says, but it doesn't just cause horror.
Update from March 18, 3:05 p.m.:
Former US President Donald Trump has responded to the Democrats' angry reactions after warning of a "bloodbath" in the USA.
“The fake news media and their Democratic partners in destroying our nation have pretended to be shocked by my use of the word carnage,” Trump wrote on his personal social network Truth Social.
They understood, said Trump, “that I was simply referring to the imports that were allowed by the crooked Joe Biden, which are killing the automobile industry.”
Trump further criticized: “With the electric car mandate that Biden is pushing, there will soon be no more cars produced in the USA.” Unless he is elected as the new president, Trump wrote.
Then the automotive industry will “bloom like never before”.
Democrats react to Trump's “bloodbath” statement: Biden team makes allegations against former president
Update from March 18, 11:05 a.m.:
Donald Trump's “bloodbath” statement in Ohio also caused reactions from the Democratic camp.
US President Joe Biden's campaign team took up Trump's remark and accused the Republican of wanting "another January 6th," CNN reported.
Biden's team was referring to the events on January 6, 2021, when Trump supporters stormed the parliament building in the capital Washington.
Trump and Biden will most likely face each other again in the November election.
Trump's campaign team disagreed.
The ex-president referred to the consequences of Biden's policies on the US auto industry, CNN reported, citing campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt.
“Biden’s policies will cause an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and its workers,” Leavitt said.
If he loses, a “bloodbath” and the end of the US elections would follow.

Trump's “bloodbath” statement: the campaign and party friends are trying to put it into perspective
Update from March 18th, 9:10 a.m.:
Donald Trump had barely spoken of a bloodbath and the end of the elections in the USA when his campaign and party colleagues tried to put the statements into perspective.
The ex-president spoke about the automobile industry, said Mike Turner, Republican congressman from Ohio, to the TV station
ABC
.
His party colleague and colleague in the House of Representatives, Mike Rounds, took the same line.
Trump was concerned with the “economic downturn” that would threaten if he was not elected.
Trump's words were received completely differently by his political opponents.
Nancy Pelosi, former speaker of the US House of Representatives and a member of the Democratic Party, said: “We simply have to win this election because he is already predicting a bloodbath.
And what does that mean?
Will he cause the carnage?”
Donald Trump speaks of a “bloodbath” and demands immunity for himself
Update, 1:03 p.m.:
A few hours after Donald Trump threatened a "bloodbath" in the event of an election defeat, the president once again called for more freedom from prosecution for himself. "A president must have full immunity," Trump wrote in all capital letters in a message on his social media platform Truth Social.
This even applies to “events that cross the border”.
Otherwise the USA could face “years of trauma”.

First report from March 17, 2024:
Dayton, Ohio - Actually, there is no reason for Donald Trump to campaign in Ohio.
The former president won the state both in 2016 when he defeated Hillary Clinton and in 2020 when he lost to Joe Biden.
But on Saturday, Trump still showed up in Dayton to support his candidate Bernie Moreno in the election campaign.
Moreno would like to become a senator from the state of Ohio.
He is currently fighting for the Republican nomination for the 2024 US election, in which not only the President but also parts of Parliament will be re-elected.
The majority in the US Senate is being renegotiated between Republicans and Democrats.
The duel in Ohio is particularly important, as the Republican primaries are correspondingly fiercely contested.
According to Rolling Stone Magazine
, whether Trump's candidate Moreno can really prevail against the party's internal competition is
highly questionable, but is particularly important for the ex-president.

Donald Trump is traveling to Ohio to campaign to support his candidate
That's why Trump traveled to Ohio on Saturday, around eight months before the US election in November.
The New York real estate agent got started straight away.
Only he alone can guarantee social peace in the USA.
If incumbent Joe Biden were to win the November election, Trump used martial words to threaten far-reaching consequences.
“If I don’t get elected, there will be a bloodbath.
It will be a bloodbath in our country,” said the President, whose term in office came to a tragic end with an attempted coup by his supporters on January 6, 2021 and the deaths of five people in the storming of the Capitol in Washington DC.
If this election is not won, I am not sure there will ever be another election in this country.
Trump in Ohio
But Trump not only threatened further acts of violence in Ohio if he lost another election to Joe Biden.
In this case, the former president even believed that the end of the world's oldest democracy was near.
“If we don’t win this election, I’m not sure there will ever be another election in this country,” said Trump in the town of Dayton, which has a population of around 140,000.
Donald Trump is spreading fantasies of violence and subversion in Ohio
Trump not only brought with him fantasies of violence and subversion for the USA, but also other speakers, including Kristi Noem.
According to a report by the news channel
CNN,
the South Dakota governor continues to have hope for Trump's nomination as vice presidential candidate.
His former Vice President Mike Pence distanced himself from Trump after the storming of the Capitol on January 6th and recently refused to support his former boss in the current election campaign.
Noem was joined by Congressmen JD Vance and Jim Jordan.
The former wrestler is considered one of Trump's most loyal and closest allies and of course started straight away in Ohio: “The left controls almost everything.
They control the big media, they control Big Tech, they control the big corporations, they control sports, Hollywood and the bureaucracy. But they don't control the people, says Jordan.
There were direct reactions from Joe Biden's camp to Donald Trump's martial announcements in Ohio.
“He wants another January 6th, but the American people will give him an electoral defeat in November,” said a spokesman for the incumbent president.
But it is not yet clear whether this will actually happen.
Current polls on the US election suggest that Donald Trump will win.
