How the media reacted to Trump’s latest comment Is why Americans have lost trust in the media - RE POST

Yes it's no secret that the media's approval rating is up there with the approval of mosquitoes!  Somewhere in the 20's is the approval rating Americans give the media.  And today is a case in point, via Townhall.

The radical left will use anything they can find to use against former President Trump, even if that means spinning the truth. 

On Saturday, during a campaign rally in Ohio, Trump predicted a financial “bloodbath” facing the U.S. motor industry if he is not elected, giving China the green light to flood the country with their products. 

Trump said: 

If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now … you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us, no. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected.

Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it […] It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.

However, Trump’s comments were taken out of context and spun to look like he is promising a “bloodbath” if he is not elected in November. 

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung Issued a statement, clearly stating that the former president was talking about the U.S. auto industry.

“Crooked Joe Biden and his campaign are engaging in deceptively, out-of-context editing,” he said.
