WRONG (..evil, criminal, unhinged, hateful, etc.):
“Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a blood bath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a blood bath for the country.”
3/18/24 update: 'King of weasels' Donald Trump is now trying to weasel out of his 'bloodbath' threat. ..AS USUAL, inarticulate Trump was UNCLEAR as he was speaking. He began this particular rambling moment by ranting (wildly speculatively + fact-free, of course) about the supposed near-future of the U.S. auto industry. ..But he kind of trailed off at a key moment while speaking, and then declared "...that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a blood bath for the country. That'll be the least of it." ..Unclear, and possibly deliberately ambiguous with the (issuance of a) wider threat.
What(ever) he said (..tried to): IT'S STILL WRONG. Standing by what was quoted as excerpted above. More here (unaffiliated opinion article link): "Trump's 'blood bath' threat wasn't even the most dangerous thing he said all weekend"
WRONG
"The former president opened his speech by praising the people serving sentences in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. Mr. Trump, who faces criminal charges tied to his efforts to overturn his election loss, called them “hostages” and “unbelievable patriots,” commended their spirit and vowed to help them if elected in November.. "
WRONG
"He asserted, without evidence, that other countries were emptying their prisons of “young people” and sending them across the border. “I don’t know if you call them ‘people,’ in some cases,” he said. “They’re not people, in my opinion.” He later referred to them as “animals.”"
WRONG
"At multiple points in his speech Trump repeated the debunked claim that he was cheated out of a win in the 2020 presidential election."
"Mr. Trump called Mr. Biden a “stupid president” several times and at one point referred to him as a “dumb son of a — ” before trailing off. He also compared Ms. Willis’s first name to a vulgarity, called Mr. Newsom “Gavin New-scum” ..."
WRONG
"Trump said the criminal indictments against him for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t running for president..."

RIGHT (..truthful, accurate, real, sane, etc.)
"“This is who Donald Trump is: a loser who gets beat by over 7 million votes and then instead of appealing to a wider mainstream audience doubles 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.”"
BTW:
..↓THIS line of b.s., (part is highlighted below), which Trump spews out over and over again, IMPLIES THAT YOU (i.e., the audience) may - in fact MUST - have SOMETHING TO HIDE or FEEL GUILTY or SCARED ABOUT, and/or may (- at least -) be CHARGED CRIMINALS, as TRUMP IS...:
(WRONG:)
"“I’m being indicted for you. And never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom. That’s what this is all about,” Trump said. “They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you. And in the end they are not after me, they are after you.”"
