Comprehensive is the understatement of the day describing this edition of Fox Hunt Live, cataloguing their grievances and noting their ignorance, as in ignoring real news. Important work IMO.

Trump is the boy who cried wolf. He is guilty 10x over of using language that encourages violence.

I watched the ‘bloodbath” quite in full. The entire hour+ speech. And as incredulous as it sounds… he was in fact talking in context of a financial bloodbath for the auto industry.

But like the boy who cried wolf, it does not matter when he later cries it truthfully. He is finally and rightfully judged for his previous offenses. Trump has called for violence again and again and again. He has pointedly dodged questions about political violence. He is guilty as sin. And the poor, sensational coverage around “bloodbath” is like a football ref giving a make-up call after inadvertently making a bad call earlier in the game.

Believe me, using “bloodbath” to describe an auto industry tariff situation SOUNDS like bull shit because we KNOW who Trump is. Whether or not the assessment is correct. Trump’s comeuppance certainly IS.

It’s fine to enjoy the poetic justice. In the big picture, it is the correct assessment of the language EVEN if it was truly not his intent in THAT moment.
