A Bloodbath for Thee but Not for Me
Just days before hanging Trump for using the word ‘bloodbath’ at an Ohio rally last Saturday because he predicted massive auto industry layoffs due to Biden’s pro-China EV mandates, THE MEDIA used ‘bloodbath’ in headlines to describe mass firings at the RNC!
Let’s first go to the record. Here is what former President Trump said Monday on Instagram about his auto industry remarks in Dayton, Ohio:
But don’t take his word for it – after the fact as it is – check out the full replay of the Dayton rally here. For context, listen at 35:00:
It is now five days later – three times the regular news cycle – and the media is still pretending they are shocked – shocked I tell you! – that Trump used the word ‘bloodbath’ to describe massive layoffs in the auto industry if, as he said Saturday, “…Crooked Joe Biden were to win in November.”
Anyone with an ounce of sense understands what he said Saturday and knows he has been predicting the demise of the U.S. auto industry if Biden’s mandates that Detroit turn out more electric vehicles for months and months.
Trump has been aggressively courting not only the Detroit auto worker vote for at least a year, but breaking with Republican tradition, he met with UAW head Shawn Fain and asked for his endorsement. It went to Joe Biden anyway, but he gave it his best shot.
We covered Trump’s pitch to auto workers in, “Trump Bluntly Asks ‘Democrat’ UAW Union for Endorsement.” Trump told workers that their future jobs will not be secure “no matter what your union negotiates because EV demands will take all of your jobs away in a few years anyway.” He lambasted Biden’s policies throughout his hour-long speech. (Click here for full article.)
Couple Saturday’s mention with the fact that the media (what derogatory term can we use now?) plastered all media just a few days ago using the word ‘bloodbath’ in headlines about the ‘mass firings’ of the newly formed RNC staff taking place once new chairs were installed.
We all know the new Chairperson of the RNC is Michael Whatley, former head of the NC GOP, and the new Co-Chairperson is none other than Lara Trump, Trump’s daughter-in-law. A Trump family member installed at the RNC? A person in a key position who would be ‘loyal’ to the party’s nominee? It is yet another obvious sign Trump is an autocrat to biased left-wing media. We don’t recall leftist media losing their minds when Mitt Romney’s niece ran it. This screenshot is a Politico story that ran on March 11th:
In both cases, the media consumer is supposed to believe that anything Trump spells danger. Biden quickly said in response to the brouhaha that ‘Trump is calling for threats of political violence.’
Actually, they are launching this latest hoax – and it’s one of many many which we’ll get to – in an attempt to paint Donald Trump as they have so many times in the past as a fascist autocratic dictator. The Democrat-owned and operated media have used this canard for eight years.
Seizing on one word – now it’s ‘bloodbath’ – and covering it breathlessly wall-to-wall is also a massive distraction from real issues like the invasion at the border, the collapse of Haiti with potential of millions fleeing that country for Florida, inflation, the dwindling value of the U.S. dollar, and Biden’s impeachment trial in the House happening this week with damaging eye witness testimony that he and his son sold out the United States to China for millions.
Maybe it’s because voters are now hurting enough to pay attention to the real news, or maybe – and polls bear this out – Democrats overplayed their hand by persecuting Donald Trump in four so-called lawfare cases, or maybe Democrats are the boy who cried wolf and used this tactic – called the wrap-up smear – too many times. It’s fool me once…
In this election cycle at least, prominent people like Elon Musk, head of X, and comedian Russell Brand, whose podcast reaches millions and importantly rankles big media. (And, with regard to the egregious $455 million fine levied against him in New York City, now Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary is vociferously defending in his media rounds.)
See screenshots of their social media posts below.
A few more posts below illustrate how the media can do and say exactly what they accuse others of. They use the word ‘bloodbath’ all the time but they will swear on a stack of bibles that when Trump uses the same word – just days later – it absolutely means he is a dictator.
And look who else is pushing the latest media hoax?
So far no one in the media – including prominent individuals posting on social media – recalls the RNC ‘bloodbath’ heads from just days before Trump used the same word.
NANCY PELOSI’S WRAP-UP SMEAR TACTIC IS FINALLY GETTING PLAY
In case you’re not aware, Nancy Pelosi may be the O.G. wrap-up smear merchant responsible for launching these attacks going back to at least September 2017, if not longer. She calls it the ‘wrap-up smear’ and says: First you demonize your opponent by creating the ‘falsehood’ or ‘smear’ – then the media covers the lie which validates it – then we merchandize those media reports.
A user-generated video caught Pelosi’s admission on video. It was posted to C-SPAN in 2017. Note the tag highlighted in the screenshot above: Is she talking about what Democrats are doing to Donald Trump concerning Russia? Um, yes!
Pelosi gleefully tops off her admission with: “We call it the wrap-up smear. It’s a political tactic, and it’s self-evident.”
Below is link to the C-SPAN clip. It is currently getting some play on RAV in Bloodbath-gate. It is an unbelievable instance of saying the quiet part out loud and it should be enshrined in a museum somewhere:

THE MSM CALLS DONALD TRUMP EVERY NAME IN THE BOOK
Monday, Charlie Kirk ran clips of MSNBC’s hysteria over the fake bloodbath news with usual players including an appearance by none other than Nancy Pelosi. Watch her underline Biden’s declaration that ‘Trump is calling for political violence if he doesn’t win…’ while news desk anchors double and triple down on the lie. Link after screenshot.
By the way, Michael Beschloss, so-called ‘presidential historian’ has lost all creditability as a neutral chronicler of history. For the most unhinged reporting on this, click to listen at 1:13:

Let’s Count the Wrap-Up Smears!
Palin’s Crosshairs Image: In 2010, the media went after Sarah Palin for including a Congressional map of districts that were being ‘targeted’ – with an image of crosshairs – in a campaign brochure circulating in Arizona. When Gabby Giffords, a Democrat Arizona congresswoman at the time was shot, Palin was smeared with ‘putting her in the crosshairs’ of the shooter’s gun. Her career has been in decline since. For more see article from The Atlantic under Resources.
Romney’s Binders Full of Women: Romney was hung with saying, ‘binders full of women’ during a debate with Barack Obama in the 2012 election cycle. Look at each word: Binders. Full. Of. Women. How in tarnation is that pejorative or sexist in any way, shape or form? Yes, the word ‘binder’ – as opposed to ‘notebook’ – is a picture of a tie, perhaps rope.
Somehow ‘binder’ equated to ‘women tied and bound.’ I actually get it, but none of us should. The media has trained us well. See The Guardian article published then, “Romney’s Binders Full of Women. Four Words that Alienated Women Voters,” in Resources.
Trump Colluded with Russia: The infamous lie about Trump colluding with Russia was reported on first by David Corn in Mother Jones and by Buzzfeed, a newly minted content aggregator that tracked viral content on the internet. These reports used the falsehoods contained in the Steele Dossier – paid for and created by Hillary Clinton and her cohorts at Fusion GPS – as the foundation for the breaking news. Democrats used the articles containing all the steamy details of Trump’s ‘collusion with Russia’ that were fed to them – word-for-word – by them!
The MSM was off to the races. They had the genesis of a scandal that could derail then candidate for president running against liberal media favorite, Hillary Clinton in the 2015 presidential race. It did not work. He was elected despite this unprecedented campaign (until today’s lawfare) to ruin his reputation.
The Russia collusion story involved illegal spying on his campaign, a phonied-up FISA warrant, and a slew of salacious allegations involving him in sex acts in a Moscow hotel.
Millions of articles have been written about the Russia! Russia!! Russia!!! story since. We are willing to bet that half the country still believes the falsehood ‘merchandized’ then by Hillary Clinton (who managed to commandeer the CIA and the FBI to do her dirty work) is true just like millions believe now that Donald Trump should go to jail ‘before the election’ for ‘something.’
Few probably noticed that since the media ran with that whale of a story, some outlets like The Nation attempted to distance themselves from the media lies they themselves spewed surrounding it in 2015. See The Nation’s 2021 article, “The Rise and Fall of the Steele Dossier,” in Resources.
Charlottesville: Who can forget the media spreading Trump’s quote: ‘there are nice people on both sides’ the day of and ever since the Charlottesville melee in August 2017 while he was president. He made that remark during the incident in Charlottesville that turned violent after he made those remarks.
Those words have been taken out of context ever since and have been used to paint Trump as condoning ‘white supremacists’ who had begun to square off against leftist activists who went to Charlottesville to tear down Confederate statues, but – again – after Trump’s first remarks had been made. Trump spoke again on the same day after the event ended.
Here is an excerpt from a Trump speech printed by Politico from that day with a reporter (link in Resources) which verifies how Trump viewed the incident once the facts had surfaced:
REPORTER: Mr. President, are you putting what you’re calling the alt-left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?
TRUMP: I am not putting anybody on a moral plane, what I’m saying is this: you had a group on one side and a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs and it was vicious and horrible and it was a horrible thing to watch, but there is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left. You’ve just called them the left, that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that’s the way it is.
REPORTER: You said there was hatred and violence on both sides?
TRUMP: I do think there is blame – yes, I think there is blame on both sides. You look at, you look at both sides. I think there’s blame on both sides, and I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either. And, and, and, and if you reported it accurately, you would say.
Trump Wants You to Inject Bleach: What of the media bleating ‘Trump wants you to inject bleach’ during a Covid presser? Trump merely asked a question at a presser during the height of the Covid pandemic in April 2020 of one of his experts who was sharing the stage with him that day about whether it would be medically feasible to use laser light therapy as a way to kill pulmonary viruses. The answer is yes. And the medical terms for injecting laser light therapy were lost. But the media heard ‘light’ and made it equal ‘bleach.’ Hence another falsehood was born and used to smear an opponent.
Biden included clips of the Charlottesville incident in his ‘Bloodbath’ ad issued this week. See below for link.
For the wrap-up smear to work, the media has to go along with the act.
But another key ingredient that makes these attacks so lethal is that all Leftist ideology rests with defining and redefining the terms of every debate, discussion, or news event. They are at this game every single minute of every single day. Eventually, the Left will own the definition of every word in the dictionary.
These lies – as the Churchill quote goes – “Travel halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”
Trump is no victim. He is fighting for his life and the life of this country in what he calls, ‘the final battle to save America.’ He is out there every day punching back at the forces arrayed against him.
In yet another wide-ranging interview, Trump talks about this latest media hoax with Nigel Farage in a new interview that aired on GBN. It’s on Rumble:
https://rumble.com/search/all?q=Nigel%20Farage%20GBN%20interview%20with%20Donald%20Trump
The epitome of the Pelosi Wrap-Up Smear has to be this Biden-Harris 2024 campaign ad quickly released two days ago to get maximum leverage from their latest lie. Watch it here:
Trump called the ad ‘vicious’ saying, “they used edited clips to viciously misquote me.”
