These outlets have been charged with promoting a narrative that suggests Trump has predicted a violent outcome if he fails to secure victory in the upcoming presidential election.
Nick Arama, a writer for RedState, addressed this issue on Sunday, dissecting the creation of this alleged hoax. He suggested that the media, along with Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), are perpetuating this narrative. The headlines of these stories imply a violent aftermath, yet fail to clarify that Trump was referring to a metaphorical "bloodbath" in the auto industry, not literal violence on the streets.
