“If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath,” Donald Trump said before posting the video featuring his rival, US President Joe Biden.
The Biden campaign was quick to condemn the video, posted on Friday, for suggesting physical harm to the sitting Democratic president. Mr Biden has portrayed his likely 2024 opponent as someone who freely evokes Nazi imagery with regard to immigrants, while also stressing in speeches that Mr Trump’s efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 elections ultimately led to an assault on the US Capitol.
The US Secret Service released a statement saying it “does not confirm or comment on matters of protective intelligence”.The former president posted the video on his social media site, Truth Social. His caption said the video was taken in Long Island, New York on Thursday, when the former president attended the wake of a New York City police officer who was killed during a traffic stop.
“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,” he warned at an Ohio rally this month while talking about the impact of offshoring on the country’s car industry.Mr Trump has talked about immigrants “poisoning the blood of our country”, echoing the rhetoric of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
