At a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio, on Saturday, former President Donald Trump talked about China manufacturing cars in Mexico and the high tariffs he would impose on those cars if he is re-elected. .
He also said it would be a „disaster“ for the US auto industry if Joe Biden were re-elected. His knowledge of this will be an important part of putting President Trump's words into the proper context.
So what did the mainstream media do?create heading It didn't include proper context and instead made it seem as if Trump was advocating or warning of violence.
Check out this article's headline and President Trump's remarks in the video. actually I said this in context.

what trump actually said
„We believe that China is currently building some large factories in Mexico that will make cars, and that they are going to sell those cars to the United States for free,“ President Trump said Saturday in Dayton, Ohio. Ta. Taxes are levied at the border. ”
„If you're listening to President Xi, let China say something. President Xi, you and I are friends, but he knows how to deal with me,“ he continued. „You think you're going to sell us the giant monster car manufacturing plant you're building in Mexico without hiring any Americans, and we'll get it?“ No, cross the line He is going to impose a 100% tariff on every car that does. Then those cars can no longer be sold. ”
He's clearly talking about protecting American autoworkers.
Trump continued, „If I get elected. Now, if I don't get elected, the whole thing will be a disaster — that would be the bare minimum. It would be a bloodbath for the country. It would be a bloodbath for the country. That would be the bare minimum.”
To clarify the context, Trump's next statement was also about the auto industry.
„But they're not going to sell those cars,“ Trump added. „They're building huge factories. A friend of mine does nothing but build car manufacturing plants. He's the biggest in the world. To be honest, I'm kidding. He He's similar to Biden in that way because he can't walk across the street, but when it comes to building factories, he can build the greatest factories in the world. That’s it.”
„I recently said I'd like to see one of your plants,“ he continued. „I said, 'I want to see where we can go. Now, we have to go to Mexico.' Why Mexico? I said, 'Because that's where the big factories are being built,' He said, „China is building very large factories in Mexico and buildings in Mexico. What about here? Well, we're building much smaller factories here.''
„Can you believe it? Can you believe it?“ Trump finished.
The media's attempts to frame President Trump's bloody comments into some kind of warning or call for violence did not go unnoticed.
Once again, people fell in love with this hoax attempt.

Why do mainstream media intentionally mislead their audiences?
Because they are the state media and communications arm of the Democratic Party, which sees its role as defeating Donald Trump in November.
And they wonder why legacy media is disappearing while independent journalism is thriving.
And why their boss, Joe Biden, may no longer be president next January.
