This morning former President Donald Trump faces criticism after making a new warning when discussing placing tariffs on cars from china. Were got to put a 100 tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and youre not going to be able to sell those cars. If i get elected. Now, if i dont get recollected, its going to be a blood bath for the whole thats going to be the least of it, its going to be a blood bath for the country. That will be the least of it, but theyre not going to sell those cars. Trumps critics say he was inciting violence, but this morning trump posted he used the term blood bath in reference to imports allowed by President Biden, which he said are killing the auto industry.
