Donald Trump Says There Will be 'Bloodbath' If He Loses Election, Predicts End of US Democracy

Donald Trump told a rally in Ohio on Saturday that November’s presidential election will be the “most important date” in U.S. history, painting his campaign for the White House as a turning point for the country.

Days after securing his position as the presumptive Republican nominee, the former president also warned of a “bloodbath” if he is not elected -- though it was not clear what he was referring to, with the remark coming in the middle of comments about threats to the U.S. auto industry.

“The date -- remember this, November 5 -- I believe it’s going to be the most important date in the history of our country,” the 77-year-old told rally-goers in Vandalia, Ohio, repeating well-worn criticisms that his rival, President Joe Biden, is the “worst” president.
