Hello folks. Welcome to crazy town. Apparently, we’re now we’re supposed to believe that it’s Trump’s “verbiage” that’s pushing people over the edge? Give me a break. On CNN’s latest episode of Let’s Blame Trump for Everything, former FBI counterterrorism agent Tim Clemente had the audacity to suggest that Trump’s warning about a “bloodbath” in the auto industry is somehow responsible for an assassination attempt on his life. Really, Tim? That’s the best you’ve got?
Fmr FBI agent @timclemente: “Sadly, the finger-pointing at Trump has lead to — you know, the line about the bloodbath, talking about the auto industry, being used as if he’s going to create a bloody coup if he loses, that kind of the verbiage is something you use in a third-world… pic.twitter.com/6C9zIz0yT2

Let’s unpack this nonsense. First off, Trump’s so-called “bloodbath” comment was a metaphor about the auto industry getting wrecked by the Democrats’ insane policies—policies that would put hardworking Americans in the unemployment line while giving China another leg up. But leave it to the media to twist his words into some dangerous rallying cry for violence. Because, apparently, we’ve entered a world where the real villains are not the criminals committing the acts but the guy who dares to speak truth to power. Classic.
Clemente says this is the kind of language used in a “third-world country.” Oh, you mean like the way Democrats have been treating Trump since 2016? If anyone’s been acting like a dictator, it’s the people weaponizing the justice system to throw their political opponent in jail every five minutes. But sure, let’s pretend it’s Trump’s metaphors that are destabilizing society.
And the kicker? Clemente actually thinks we need to get back to being “friends, neighbors, and relatives”—as if the left has been holding hands and singing Kumbaya for the past seven years. You know, the same folks who call anyone who disagrees with them “deplorable,” try to cancel everyone who dares to speak their mind, and then shrug when lunatics armed with rifles show up to kill the guy they’ve been vilifying non-stop.
Not this violent rhetoric, right?
SUERCUT!

“That — that kind of — that kind of verbiage is something you use in a third world country when you’re talking about a dictator, and that sadly has led to, I think, these attempts on Trump’s life and I don’t think it’s going to end. I think we just have to realize, look, we’re political opponents,” Clemente said. “You and I might not agree on 50% of what we care about politically. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t mean we can’t be friends, neighbors, relatives, and have a regular dialogue every day. We have to get back to that talk about our differences, but not in a way that makes us feel like you’re the enemy and I’m all good.”
Then, former congressman Adam Kinziger decided to comment. He feared what others would say about his post, so he locked down who could comment. Classic.
Look violent rhetoric is wrong, and has no place.
But MAGA pretending they didn’t light this fire is gaslighting to the 100th power. Since Trump showed up our politics has gone to crap.
Literally just accused a group of people of eating our pets.
So stop

Let’s not kid ourselves. It’s the toxic political climate that the left has fostered, where violence is justified if it’s against the “right” person. Clemente and the rest of the media can keep pointing fingers at Trump, but everyone knows who’s really pushing this country into dangerous territory. The only “bloodbath” we should be worried about is the one Democrats will create, not Trump calling out their disastrous policies.
