The ramparts are up on both sides of the polarized political spectrum over Trump’s recent statement. Trump said “If I don’t get elected, it will be a bloodbath for the whole….. That’s going to be the least of it.”
The Left media believes Trump was predicting a “civil war” if he is not elected this November. The Right media is claiming he “obviously” was referring to the destruction of the auto industry. Who is interpreting Trump’s statement correctly? Is one side right and the other wrong? Can both sides be wrong – and / or right?
Former President Trump has been through an excruciating political wringer unprecedented in American history. The corruption of the three separate branches of government has reached such administrative, legal, political and judicial depths that if Trump manages to survive long enough to occupy the Oval Office one of his first Executive Orders should be to have the politically sanitized FBI conduct a RICO investigation into George Soros and his cabal of insurrectionists a la’ Lincoln-style during the Civil War.
Because, whether the counterfeit conservative or the openly Leftist media admit it, America is in a civil war for the preservation of our Constitutional liberties. Trump and most Americans know this. The Left is dissembling in typical Leninist fashion. Both sides of the media pussy-foot around this reality.
It is Trump’s personal experience in this shadow war and his belief that most Americans feel the same way that he uttered his “bloodbath” statement the way he did.
If it is one thing Trump is known for it is for shooting from the hip – telling the unblemished, inconvenient Truth. It is much of what the American people love about him in contrast to the feckless, virtue signaling, and obfuscating politicians on both sides of the aisle in Congress. Time has proven Trump correct in everything he has said – much to the dismay of the Left media which has totally ignored that fact.
So when he says “If I don’t get elected, it will be a bloodbath for the whole….. That’s going to be the least of it”, what does he mean? And is he right?
- Important to understanding the context of Trump’s comment is that he began his speech referring to the J6 demonstrators.
- He then states the consequence of being elected would be the protection of America’s auto industry (“if I’m elected”).
- He then contrasts his first assumption with the opposite: “if I don’t get elected”. consequences:
- “it” would be a bloodbath for the whole. . .
- “That’s” going to be the “least” of it.
The confusion is in his mixing the meanings of the pronouns “it” and “That’s”. Was he referring to the extension of the J6 demonstration if he is not elected as a bloodbath or was he referring to the auto industry taking a bloodbath if China’s EVs were allowed to flood the US market? How do we determine which he meant?
The evidence points to him referring to the J6 demonstration. Trump had many options for words to complete that sentence. But in the context of his speech – the two subjects spoken of – J6 and the auto industry – there were two word choices to complete that sentence: industry or country. There would have been no blowback if he had chosen to end the sentence with the word industry. Instead, Trump stopped himself from completing the rest of the sentence thinking ahead (for once) of the furor it would cause if he completed the sentence by saying “for the whole country”. It would be interesting to conduct an electronic voice analysis to isolate and slow his speech to determine if the sound “k” as in country escaped his lips before he stopped himself. A lip reading expert may be able to view his mouth and throat to determine which word he was going to use if he did begin to say one word or the other.
Further evidence pointing to his referring to the J6 incident and the country is his quantifying statement “that’s” going to be the “least” of it. “That” referring to his not being elected in spite of all the polls pointing to a victory (like 2020). If he were referring to the auto industry alone there would be nothing to compare the “least” with – and no reason to not complete his sentence. By using the word “least’ Trump is making a comparison of the auto industry with something else of a larger scale – the election (“if I don’t get elected”).
Rephrased without pronouns: My not getting elected will result in a bloodbath for the whole country. The destruction of the auto industry will be the least of the reaction to the election loss.”
The elephant in America’s living room is whether, if Trump were referring to a “civil war”, is he wrong? In this regard, Trump is not so subtly playing Marc Antony’s eulogy to his Caesar. Trump knows the strength of his base. He believes he knows the depth of their commitment to him. He believes if the 2024 election is stolen like it was in 2020 Americans would rise up against the fraud. He is not alone in that belief by millions. But there is a gaping gulf of difference between anger and overt action against political corruption on a national scale.
If Americans rose in mass resistance to the anticipated repeat of the fraudulent 2020 elections in 2024, what form would it take? Any repeat of J6 on an exponentially greater scale and violence would be doomed to failure – unless it had the support (or inaction) of the military. Since the genuflecting and spineless, D.E.I.fied military chiefs – like both political parties – are more concerned with remaining in power, a successful reclamation of the Oval Office by force to a legitimate candidate is doubtful.
Additionally, as we have seen in the glaring lack of active resistance by such “patriotic” groups as the NRA, the VFW, and American Legion to the Open Border invasion, I believe Trump is wrong. I don’t believe the majority of the American people have sufficient 1776 martial mettle left in them. They have been lulled to sleep by the flaxen cord of government largess around their necks for too long. They have been too cowered by the Obama / Pelosi persecution of the J6 martyrs to rise up en masse and overthrow the Entrenched Powers occupying the throne today.
The problem is, if the 2020 national fraud is (and I believe it will be) repeated in 2024, historically a revolution is the only remaining remedy. Rigged elections and the continued destruction of the American narrative will continue until a constitutional government is recovered by force. The Left is certainly not going to give up their ill-gotten power voluntarily.
However, Trump is correct in stating in a previous speech that if Biden is reelected Americans will never have another [free] election. Americans are in great peril of continued Putin-style elections if 2020 is an indicator – particularly with the RNC doing nothing to prevent a recurrence. Based on the evidence to date, this is the most likely outcome. I hope I’m wrong.
