Former President Donald Trump warned during an Ohio speech that there will be an economic “bloodbath” if he isn’t reelected while campaigning for a Republican Senate candidate, while his campaign said that a number of news outlets misled the public by taking the term out of context.

In the speech, President Trump said that the Chinese communist regime is “building a couple of massive plants where they’re gonna build the cars in Mexico, and they think that they’re gonna sell those cars into the United States, with no tax at the border.”
