“If I lose for the United States it will be a bloodbath“. Donald Trump did not mince words to warn Americans of the consequences of not electing him. He did it from the stage in Ohio in a long and dark speech in which he defined November 5, the day of the presidential vote, the most important date in American history, one watershed which will shape the future of the United States. Ensuring rapid and decisive action on the immigration front as soon as he returns to the White House, the former president used chilling words towards migrants who cross the border with Mexico and “invade” the country. “I don’t know if you call them people. In some cases they are not, they are animals“, he told his fans, receiving a shower of applause.
The reference to the “bloodbath”, an expression that brings to mind the “American carnage” he used during his swearing-in in 2017, sparked a storm of controversy. “He wants another January 6th, incites violence and is thirsty for revenge,” thundered the campaign Joe Biden. “Her words show even more clearly that we must win the elections”, added the former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Elon Musk instead he defended the former president and pointed the finger at “the mainstream media that lies.” According to the billionaire, in fact, the tycoon’s words were incorrectly extrapolated from context, a thesis shared by the Trump campaign and the right-wing media, which came out forcefully in defense of the former president. Biden’s staff “is engaging in a gimmicky editing and out of context that puts even Roman Polanski to shame,” said Steven Cheung, the Trump campaign spokesman.
He responded to the former president’s attacks with a mix of irony and sarcasm. Speaking at the prestigious Gridiron Club dinner, the president joked about his age (“I’m already six hours beyond my usual bedtime”) and his opponent in the White House. Running for 2024, he said, is one person who is “too much elderly e mentally unfit to the presidency. The other candidate is me.” Then she joked about it debts from the former president: “My plan to cancel student debt does not apply to everyone. Yesterday a dejected-looking man came to me and said: ‘I’m crushed by debt’. I replied: ‘I’m sorry Donald but I can’t help you’”.
However, the jokes were also accompanied by much less playful remarks. “We live in unprecedented times. Democracy and freedom are under attack. Putin is marching on Europe and my predecessor and his worship and tells him to do whatever he wants. But we will not bow, I will not bow,” Biden thundered, speaking of democracy under attack and inviting everyone to do their part for the country. Biden reserved the final toast of the dinner for the press, sending a message in stark contrast to Trump’s: “You are not enemies of the people.”
