MSNBC Pundit Admits Trump’s “Bloodbath” Comment Was Taken Out of Context—Compares Him to Hitler Anyway

MSNBC historian Michael Beschloss acknowledged former President Trump’s recent “bloodbath” remark was about the auto industry but still drew comparisons between Trump and Adolf Hitler, despite this clarification, Fox News reports.

During an episode of “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski queried Beschloss about the public’s understanding of Trump’s rhetoric, suggesting some may not grasp the parallels to fascism.

Beschloss concurred, suggesting Trump’s candidacy echoes the conditions that led to Hitler’s rise to power in Nazi Germany. He remarked that Trump’s transparency about his intentions to wield power contrasts with past dictators who disguised their ambitions behind a veneer of normalcy.

“In a way, Donald Trump has made it easier because when he tells you he’ll be a dictator for a day — we all know that dictators don’t resign after a day. When he uses the word ‘bloodbath,’ yes it was in the context of an automobile industry speech, but he knew exactly what he was saying,” Beschloss explained.

Trump’s statement about a “bloodbath” came during a recent rally in Ohio, where he discussed imposing tariffs on Chinese-made cars. He warned of dire consequences for the auto industry if President Biden wins re-election.

Trump’s campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt clarified his remarks, stating, “Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and autoworkers.”

Despite this clarification, several media outlets reported on Trump’s comment without context. Politico, NBC News, and CBS News all ran headlines focusing solely on Trump’s warning of a “bloodbath” if he loses the election.
