No More Speculation? Trump Jr. Unveils His ‘Fighter’ Picks for Vice President

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Donald Trump Jr. may have already voiced his preferences for his father’s 2024 running mates, but he now admits to actively lobbying the former president for a specific group of individuals. 

In an interview with the New York Post, Trump Jr. indicated on Saturday that he desires someone who is a political battler for the role. “What I want in that role is I want a fighter,” Trump Jr. said. “I understand what they are going to throw at us.” 

Among Trump Jr.’s selections are Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio; tech mogul Vivek Ramaswamy and conservative podcast host Tucker Carlson.  

Trump Jr.’s remarks come amid mounting speculation about who his father – currently seeking the Republican presidential nomination – might choose as his vice-presidential candidate.

So far, Carlson has denied any potential offer, stating that he does not see himself as a politician. Ramaswamy was reportedly informed by Trump himself that he would not be chosen for the role. Instead, Trump indicated that Ramaswamy might join the administration in another capacity. 

During his conversation with the Post, Trump Jr. shared his views on former Vice President Mike Pence, who has declined to endorse his former boss ahead of the 2024 election. 

“In 2016 you needed someone to balance out [the ticket] — that’s where Mike Pence made sense, sort of the yin and yang, but [given] the vicious nature of the swamp and the insanity we see on a daily basis, you need someone who can take those hits,” Trump Jr. exclaimed.

Pence and Donald Trump have not communicated since leaving the White House in 2021 amid disagreements on the certification of the 2020 presidential elections. 

Current polls show Trump is leading President Joe Biden, the presumed Democratic candidate, ahead of the 2024 election. 

In anticipation of a potential Trump administration, Trump Jr. mentioned the names of individuals who might be ready to assist his father on day one. These names include former DNI Director John Ratcliffe and former White House aide Cliff Sims. 

“There are so many great people to choose from now with the first four years of the administration you have a good understanding of who would be great and loyal and implement the America First policies,” Trump Jr. told the Post. 

Tellingly, Trump Jr. did not explicitly rule out the possibility of potentially joining the White House. He stated he’d “never rule anything out,” regarding serving America in the Trump administration, along with his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle, a lawyer, media personality, and Republican strategist. 

Trump Jr.’s sister, Ivanka Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner both served in the White House from 2017 through 2021 but have indicated they will not join the White House in the event of a Trump victory.

Poll Shows Who Republicans Want as Trump’s VP Running Mate

(Casey Harper , The Center Square) – Republican voters have suggestions for former President Donald Trump when he considers his running mate for vice president.

The Center Square Voter’s Voice poll released this week asked voters this question: “Who should Donald Trump choose as his vice presidential candidate?”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis narrowly edged out the other potential candidates. DeSantis was once seen as a serious threat to Trump for the presidential nomination, but after Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was raided by the FBI, Trump’s poll numbers soared. DeSantis was left behind in the polling and never recovered.

Now, according to the survey, 18% of Republicans want DeSantis to be Trump’s vice presidential running mate.

In a close second place is former Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who received 17% support from Republicans as Trump’s vice president.

Haley was the last Republican contender to drop out of the primary. She was able to win nearly 100 delegates, and put up a fight in states like Vermont and South Carolina. But, ultimately, she dropped out after Trump roundly defeated her on Super Tuesday.

Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and South Carolina Gov. Tim Scott are tied for third place with 15% support among Republicans.

Notably, Democratic former Congressman Tulsi Gabbard received 7% support, the only Democrat to get that kind of backing from Republicans.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem received 6% support among Republicans to be Trump’s running mate. Many analysts have said Trump should pick a female vice president to persuade Haley supporters and suburban women to support the ticket.

Trump has not said who he is leaning toward most for his vice president, however the New York Post recently reported that Trump has ruled out Ramaswamy, but that Ramaswamy would be considered for a cabinet position.

Trump is not expected to pick former Vice President Mike Pence since their relationship has soured in recent years.

Pence told Martha MacCallum on Fox News last week that he would not endorse Trump for president.

Pence, who was unable to pick up steam in his own presidential primary bid, said there are “profound differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues.”

There is little indication that President Joe Biden will drop Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate.

The vice presidential pick for Trump in particular could be key to shifting what is a close race.

The Center Square poll shows Trump beating Biden 46%-45% with likely voters in a head-to-head faceoff. With such a close margin, Trump’s pick for VP could make or break the race.

Notably, if third-party independent candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West and Jill Stein stay in the race, Trump’s lead grows to 3 points.

The Center Square Voters’ Voice poll was conducted in conjunction with Noble Predictive Insights in March, querying 2,510 respondents roughly split between both parties along with 340 true independents. The margin of error for likely voters is +/- 2.1%

Thousands of Pounds of Meth Smuggled Across Border in Vegetable Shipments

Thousands of Pounds of Meth Smuggled Across Border in Vegetable Shipments

(Bethany Blankley, The Center Square) – Mexican cartels for decades have devised creative ways to smuggle narcotics and other contraband across the southern U.S., including using produce, law enforcement officials say. This month, in one week, thousands of pounds of meth were seized hidden in shipments of peppers, tomatillos and carrots.

At the Otay Mesa, California, cargo facility this month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized large quantities of methamphetamine hidden under packages of the vegetables.

In one instance, CBP officers stopped a 27-year-old male with a valid border crossing card driving a commercial tractor-trailer with a shipment manifested for peppers and tomatillos. At first glance, the shipment appeared to contain only peppers and tomatillos. But after a K-9 unit screened it, officers examined the trailer and found a box containing a crystal-like substance. Additional officers were radioed to provide assistance and began extracting package after package hidden under the produce. They found 3,594 packages that were tested and identified as methamphetamine. The stash totaled 3,671.58 pounds.

The same week, CBP officers at the same facility uncovered another massive load of meth being smuggled in using carrots.

More than 29,000 pounds of meth seized in one shipment of carrots.They stopped a 44-year-old man, also a valid border crossing card holder, driving a commercial tractor trailer hauling a shipment manifested as carrots. Officers unloaded the cases of carrots and found suspicious packages hidden underneath, which were tested and identified as methamphetamine. Overall, they seized 574 packages weighing approximately 2,900 pounds.

In both instances, the meth and commercial tractor-trailers were seized; the drivers were turned over to Homeland Security Investigations.

According to Addiction Resource, a lethal dose of methamphetamine is 150 milligrams. However, the lethality of a dose varies, it says, due to how pure or impure it is. Less impurities means the dose is more toxic.

Cartels use several tactics to smuggle drugs and people into the U.S., including “task saturation” and “migrant warfare,” authorities have explained. Surging resources in one area to leave the border open in another area enables cartel operatives and gangs they work with to commit a range of crimes. Another tactic is hiding people and drugs in trucks, including behind or under produce, to bring through ports of entry.

While Border Patrol agents are primarily in the field, CBP officers and canine units work at ports of entry to interdict human and drug smuggling driven by the Sinaloa Cartel, which has taken operational control of the border from California to El Paso, Texas, The Center Square has reported.

The Sinaloa Cartel “is one of the oldest and more established drug trafficking organizations in Mexico,” the DEA explains. “Though its birthplace and stronghold is the Mexican State of Sinaloa, the Sinaloa Cartel controls drug trafficking activity in various regions in Mexico, particularly along the Pacific Coast.”

It uses “violent local street gangs and criminal groups and individuals across the United States to flood American communities with huge amounts of fentanyl and methamphetamine, which drives addiction and violence and kills Americans,” The DEA explains. A major port of entry for illicit drugs is California, where they are then distributed throughout the U.S.

Last year, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares led a coalition of 21 attorneys general calling on the president to designate the Sinaloa Cartel, among others, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. President Joe Biden has not done so although the Texas legislature and governor did last year.

The Department of Justice charged Sinaloa Cartel members and the sons of its former leader, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, last year. El Chapo is serving life in prison in the U.S. since July 2019. The U.S. Treasury Department has also been sanctioning Sinaloa Cartel members and Mexican companies associated with them for years.

As CBP officers continue to seize large quantities of drugs, California Border Patrol chiefs have warned of increased security threats between ports of entry where checkpoints have been closed due to current administration policies. When deposed by the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security during its impeachment investigation of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, they expressed alarm about not knowing how many people or drugs are being smuggled across the border.

Despite being stretched thin, California CBP and Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 500,000 illegal border crossers in fiscal 2023, The Center Square reported.

Record high illegal entries continued along the southwest border in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, with California seeing higher entries as Texas’ resistance grew, The Center Square reported.

16 States, Led by Gulf states, Sue Biden Administration Over LNG Export Ban

16 States, Led by Gulf states, Sue Biden Administration Over LNG Export Ban

(Bethany Blankley, The Center Square) – Sixteen states have sued the Biden administration over its proposed liquified natural gas ban, led by Louisiana and Texas, the Gulf states that lead the U.S. in LNG exports.

The lawsuit was filed by Louisiana Attorney General Elizabeth Murrill and 15 state attorneys general in the U.S. District Court Western District of Louisiana.

It was filed in response to the Biden administration announcing it was implementing a temporary pause on pending decisions on exports of LNG to non-Free Trade Agreement countries until the Department of Energy updates “underlying analyses for authorizations.” It did so, it argued, because current LNG export authorizations “no longer adequately account for considerations like potential energy cost increases for American consumers and manufacturers beyond current authorizations or the latest assessment of the impact of greenhouse gas emissions.”

Other reasons given for the ban were “the perilous impacts of methane on our planet” and to “adequately guard against risks to the health of our communities, especially frontline communities in the United States who disproportionately shoulder the burden of pollution from new export facilities.”

The claims have been disproven by multiple reports, The Center Square has reported.

The lawsuit notes that the president is following “the same playbook to unlawfully ban new liquified natural gas” after he “began his presidency by issuing an unlawful moratorium on offshore and onshore oil-and-gas leasing.”

The LNG ban “disregards statutory mandates, flouts the normal regulatory process, upends the industry, disrupts Plaintiffs’ economies, and subverts our constitutional structure,” the brief states. “These unlawful actions leave Plaintiffs with no choice but to once more turn to the courts to enforce the law.”

It also cites the U.S. Department of Energy stating last July that “there is no factual or legal basis” for the ban to “halt approval of pending applications to export LNG.” The agency also denied an environmental coalition’s petition asking it to “[g]rant no more licenses for LNG export . . . until it has completed a final revision of its policy guidelines … on LNG export.”

“Now – in the midst of an election year, and after a sustained pressure campaign from billionaire conglomerates, celebrities, ‘influencers,’ and banks – the Biden Administration acts as if its July 2023 Decision does not exist,” the brief states. “The Administration likewise ignores the Natural Gas Act’s presumption in favor of exports, decades of agency policy, and State and private reliance on exports.”

The lawsuit argues the ban violates the Natural Gas Act and the Administrative Procedure Act. It asks the court to grant a preliminary injunction to block it from going into effect.

In 2017, the U.S. became a net exporter of natural gas for the first time since 1957, “primarily because of increased LNG exports,” according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency. As domestic natural gas demand increased by 43% from 2012 to 2022, Texas and Louisiana increased output by 116%, The Center Square reported. Over the decade, Texas and Louisiana increased natural gas output and developed new LNG export terminals to rapidly scale LNG production.

The U.S. became the world’s largest LNG exporter in the first half of 2022, according to the EIA, led by Texas. This was largely because Gulf states “provided a lifeline” to Europe after the energy market was destabilized by “green energy” policies and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, a Texans for Natural Gas report found.

The U.S. exported more natural gas in the first six months of 2023 than in any other previous six-month period, led by the Gulf states of Texas and Louisiana, The Center Square reported. Texas is currently the leading producer of LNG in the U.S., producing roughly a quarter of America’s natural gas, which is also a low carbon fuel source.

States joining Louisiana are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Thousands of Illegals’ Children Lost by Biden Admin.

Thousands of Illegals’ Children Lost by Biden Admin.

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) On March 20, 2024, a group of House Republicans wrote a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, demanding information about the lost children of illegal aliens.

Unaccompanied alien children (UACs) who get into the United States through the southern border are normally transferred to the custody of the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), according to the Daily Caller. However, it was revealed in a February 2023 report that the office lost track of over 85,000 such children after their placement in the care of U.S.-based sponsors.

A group of 10 House Republicans, who were led by Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, demanded information about how HHS approves sponsors and its efforts to keep track of the children.

“We are concerned that fraud surrounding UAC sponsorship is severe due to ORR’s lackluster policies and procedures to verify a sponsor’s identity and relationship to the child. Children apprehended, transported and processed alone are not safe from human traffickers, who may pose as sponsors once migrant children are flown throughout the country by the federal government,” they wrote.

In the letter, the politicians asked why the ORR discontinued a requirement that sponsors of UAC only be U.S. citizens and how family relationships between sponsors and UACs are verified.

“In 2022, HHS removed the requirement to collect documentation from potential sponsors that verify their immigration status or U.S. citizenship in the Family Reunification application. This is a clear failure that leaves migrant children vulnerable and provides criminals with an easy gateway into the United States,” they wrote.

The politicians also wanted to know about the circumstances in which sponsors are waived from being subject to an FBI National Criminal History Check, state child abuse and neglect (CA/N) registries and public records checks, and the number of “safety and well-being follow-up calls” conducted by ORR staff and whether these resulted in any subsequent action, the Caller reported.

“Human trafficking is an abhorrent crime, but the Biden administration’s irresponsible policies are making it easier for traffickers to exploit vulnerable children. It is imperative HHS immediately address these failures and implement stringent measures to protect these children from further harm,” Gooden told the news source.

Oakland Forces 102-Year-Old Man to Clean Up Graffiti Fence or Pay Thousands

Oakland Forces 102-Year-Old Man to Clean Up Graffiti Fence or Pay Thousands

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A wheelchair-bound 102-year-old man from Oakland, Calif., was ordered by the city to clean up graffiti on the outside of his fence or face thousands of dollars in fines.

Victor Silva Sr. received a notice from the City of Oakland earlier this month, in which the city officials ordered him to remove graffiti from his property by March 19, 2024, adding that if he doesn’t do that, he may receive a fine of $1,100 plus nearly $1,300 for every additional failed follow-up inspection, KTVU reported.

Silva, a retired contractor who’s been living in the same house for 80 years, said that he used to take care of the problem himself until he became too old to do that.

“Just had a roller and a paintbrush and just painted it. It was very easy because I was a contractor. I’ll be 103 in two months or so. That slowed it up a little bit,” he said.

In addition to his age, crime in Oakland has been steadily increasing, with graffiti popping up all around Silva’s neighborhood, which made it harder for Silva to get rid of the evidence of vandals.

“It’s hard to keep up with it because as soon as we get it painted, [there’s] gonna be graffiti on it again, and it won’t last,” Victor Silva Jr., Silva’s son, said.

The son also called Oakland’s treatment of his father a form of harassment.

“I would hate to think that there [are] other hundred-year-old people that are being harassed like this. Oakland has to change. The system is not working,” he said.

In addition to that, Victor Jr. said that every time he has called 911 to report some form of property crime, he is placed on hold.

“It’s hard to understand where our tax dollars are going. They can’t answer 911, but they can come out and hassle you about a fence?” he said.

The son’s wife, Elena Silva, called the entire situation “absurd.”

“It’s like a joke. You drive around the city and see the graffiti everywhere,” she said.

Journalist Mocked for Saying ‘Excessive Free Speech’ Breeds ‘More Trumps’

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A Canadian journalist recently denounced American free speech in his article by saying that “excessive free speech is a breeding ground for more Trumps,” which resulted in him being mocked by many people online, including one of the plaintiffs who sued the Biden administration for leaning on social media companies to censor Americans.

Lawrence Martin’s pro-censorship article was published on March 20, 2024, in the once-serious Globe and Mail, according to Blaze Media.

“There was a bit of good news about the future of public discourse this week. The United States Supreme Court… sounded like it was ready to give the Biden administration the go-ahead to try to persuade social-media platforms not to put out content promoting nonsense about the presidential election, conspiracy theories about the pandemic and other assorted bilge and crackpottery,” he wrote, referring to the prospect that the U.S. Supreme Court might come down on the side of the Biden administration in Murthy v. Missouri.

However, he added that even if the Biden administration wins the battle, it wouldn’t be the end of it all.

“The greater likelihood is that extremes of free speech will continue to be tolerated, creating a pathway for more Donald Trumps. The extremes came following the arrival of the internet and social media platforms. They created a tsunami of free expression,” Martin wrote.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a tenured professor of medicine at Stanford University and co-author of “The Great Barrington Declaration” named as a plaintiff in Murthy v. Missouri, responded to Martin’s article.

“Dear @globeandmail, I’m sorry to report that your editorial page has been hacked. Or maybe it has been taken over by authoritarian blockheads who are publishing dangerous misinformation. One or the other. Respectfully Yours, Jay,” he wrote.

Auron MacIntyre, host of Blaze Media’s “The Auron MacIntyre Show,” also responded to the article.

“That’s what we’re counting on you commie scum,” he wrote.

Canadian comedian Danny Polishchuk expressed his embarrassment about his country.

Taylor Swift Fans Cause Earthquake by Dancing in L.A.

Taylor Swift Fans Cause Earthquake by Dancing in L.A.

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) It was recently revealed that Taylor Swift fans caused an earthquake in Los Angeles last year while they were jumping to the pop star’s songs.

Researchers were unsure if the seismic activity was caused by the sound systems or the thousands of fans who were dancing to the music at the time, according to the Daily Mail. However, a new study by seismologists from the California Institute of Technology revealed that it was the fans who were the cause of the earthquake.

In August 2023, Swift performed at the SoFi stadium in front of roughly 70,000 of her fans when seismologists recorded a 2.3 magnitude earthquake in the city, which marked the second “Swift Quake” on the West Coast after Seattle experienced its own earthquake from her Eras tour concert just one month before that.

Scientists were asked by the California Office of Emergency Services to look into the seismic activity caused by the Seattle concert to determine what exactly happened.

Seismologists set up strong motion sensors on the night of Swift’s performance in Los Angeles on Aug. 5, 2023, to record where the “Swift quake” originated and which songs were tied to the most seismic activity, the news source reported.

The Mail added that the team monitored quake meters from roughly 5.5 miles from the SoFi Stadium and used spectrograms – a graph that showed the signal intensity or loudness of a song. Eventually, they found that each of Swift’s songs “had a distinct tremor signal.”

“Researchers were able to identify 43 of the 45 songs played within the recorded spectrograms,” the study stated.

While all songs did have a seismic impact, Swift’s song “Shake It Off” song had the largest magnitude of 0.85, the spectrogram revealed.

“Keep in mind this energy was released over a few minutes compared to a second for an earthquake of that size. Based on the maximum strength of shaking, the strongest tremor was equivalent to a magnitude -2 earthquake,” Gabrielle Tepp, a co-author of the study and staff seismologist at Caltech Seismic Lab, said.

Chinese-Backed Marijuana Farms Spread in U.S., Top Lawmakers Say

Chinese-Backed Marijuana Farms Spread in U.S., Top Lawmakers Say

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) On March 21, 2024, top U.S. House lawmakers received a classified briefing from the Department of Homeland Security and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) on the proliferation of illegal marijuana farms that were backed by China all around the United States.

Rep. August Pfluger, R–Texas, who heads up the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement and Intelligence, Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., who leads the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement, and other committee members, received the briefing from the DHS, DEA and the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), according to the Daily Wire.

The briefing focused on “the recent trend in illicit marijuana grow operations within the homeland by People’s Republic of China (PRC) nationals,” as well as how federal “entities are working to combat the issue,” a spokesman who shared the information with the Wire said.

Chinese-backed marijuana operations have cropped up across the United States in the last several years. New Mexico and Maine were the states where the major drug busts happened. Border Patrol has reportedly identified at least 270 illegal marijuana grow operations throughout the state of Maine alone that are worth billions of dollars.

In addition to that, a suspected Chinese national was arrested in rural Tennessee back in November 2023 for allegedly operating a large marijuana-growing operation out of an old church.

“The Committee continues to conduct oversight of the federal government’s response to the worrying trend of illicit Chinese-operated marijuana farms. Many of these operations work in conjunction with transnational criminal organizations, engage in human trafficking and forced labor practices and pose serious threats to public safety,” the spokesman said.

The briefing comes after House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green, R-Tenn., Pfluger and Higgins requested a briefing from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and DEA Administrator Anne Milgram.

“Illicit Chinese-operated marijuana farms have been found across the country and pose significant risks to our nation’s security. In addition, Chinese investors have financed some of these illegal operations, and these investments include cash payment for large swaths of land to conduct these operations,” the lawmakers wrote in the letter.

MURDOCK: Biden Constructs a Potemkin Hellscape to Conceal His Own Dystopia

MURDOCK: Biden Constructs a Potemkin Hellscape to Conceal His Own Dystopia

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) In three words, here is Joe Biden’s re-election strategy:

Lie, lie, lie.

Biden and his Democrat allies are not conducting a normal re-election campaign based on a brighter tomorrow.

Concerning their job performance today, their approach is: The less said, the better.

Instead, Biden Democrats present a nonstop parade of lies about Donald J. Trump. These include outright fabrications about his record and pitch-black premonitions of a “Trump dictatorship” totally unlike his first term.

On Tuesday in Reno, Biden parroted the old lie that Trump refused to visit France’s Aisne-Marne American Cemetery​ because its fallen World War I soldiers were “losers and suckers.”

Rubbish!

Jeffrey Goldberg recklessly and maliciously concocted this “story” for The Atlantic just before Labor Day 2020. His proof: Four anonymous “sources.”

​In contrast, I subsequently wrote ​five articles ​that dismantl​ed this ​vulgar smear. I ​named and quoted 16 members of Trump​’s Parisian entourage. They verified that Trump’s security personnel sc​otched the​ Nov. 10, 2018 visit due to ​rain, ​low clouds too ​dangerous for helicopters, and logistical headaches that precluded motorcade​ travel. ​

A military aide’s contemporaneous e-mail​ and a local weather report​ exculpated Trump. ​His delayed departure ​the next day, to visit Suresnes American Cemetery ​near Paris​, ​also obliterated Goldberg’s “losers and suckers” lie.

Sources: Trump 16, Goldberg 4.

Regardless, Biden waved Goldberg’s discredited myth around like a dusty skeleton. He likely will do so again, because Joe Biden lies like most people breathe.

“My son is one of those losers and suckers,” Biden mumbled. Actually, Beau Biden served in Iraq, not The Great War. He is buried in Greenville, Delaware, not ​Château-Thierry​, France.

The Biden campaign on Monday released a disgusting ad featuring shopworn video of neo-Nazis marching on Aug. 11, 2017, the night before Charlottesville, Virginia’s deadly race riots.

Team Biden included Trump’s comment about “very fine people, on both sides” of that mayhem. They also pretended not to know what Trump soon added at the same news conference: “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists—because they should be condemned totally.”

The Aug. 15, 2017 White House transcript confirms Trump’s rebuke. Regardless, Biden’s ad conveniently whitewashes Trump’s anti-racism.

The Washington Post’s Lisa Rein lied that Trump denounced the violence “without singling out the white nationalists and neo-Nazis.” Trump did exactly that.

Biden, Democrats, and their media bodyguards now claim that Trump promised “a bloodbath” if Biden wins re-election.

At a March 16 rally in Dayton, Ohio, Trump decried potential imports of Chinese-designed, Mexican-built electric vehicles, on which he threatened 100% tariffs. Trump predicted that a re-elected Biden would welcome these autos and trigger “a bloodbath” among U.S. car makers. “But they’re not going to sell those cars,” if Trump wins, he added.

The ensuing foam on Democrat mouths resembled shaving cream.

“It’s clear this guy wants another January 6,” Biden deceived via Twitter.

“What does that mean?” Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the former House speaker, prevaricated on CNN. “He’s going to exact a bloodbath?”

Atop endless lies, Democrats also wallow in hypocrisy. As a Grabien video montage hilariously indicates, Trump haters use “bloodbath” more often than he does.

• “It’ll be a bloodbath,” MSNBC’s Ali Vitali said about Nikki Haley’s campaign. “Not only is it going to be a bloodbath, but after they leave New Hampshire, it’s a bloodbath on her home turf.”

“And Trump has left a lot of corpses in his wake,” Dasha Burns replied. “I mean, we haven’t counted the bodies.”

• CNN’s Van Jones said of the GOP’s 2020 prospects: “It’s going to be a bloodbath.”

• MSNBC’s Joy Reid foresaw “a bloodbath at the ballot box.”

Grabien captured “bloodbath” 48 times, mainly by Trump’s foes. Trump says “bloodbath,” and these very same people scream, “Mein Kampf 2.0!”

Rather than offer Americans a positive vision, Biden and the Democrats plan this through Nov. 5: Terrify voters, recycle anti-Trump lies, invent new ones, and yell, “Abortion!”

Rinse, repeat.

Whatever happened to Hope and Change?
