MSNBC historian Michael Beschloss admitted on Monday that former President Trump's 'bloodbath' comment during a recent campaign speech referenced the automobile industry, but still compared the 2024 candidate to the German dictator Adolf Hitler.
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 added. Trump said last week there would be a 'bloodbath' in the automobile manufacturing business if President Biden is reelected.
