THE HILL
Former President Trump on Tuesday embraced the term “bloodbath” as he put the spotlight on President Biden’s handling of the border during a visit to Michigan.
Trump, making his first trip to the battleground state since February, painted a bleak picture of a country overrun by migrants under Biden’s leadership and vowed to crack down on the border immediately upon taking office if reelected. In doing so, he utilized a phrase that landed him in hot water just a few weeks ago.
“I stand before you today to declare that Joe Biden’s border bloodbath, and that’s what it is, it’s a bloodbath,” Trump said in remarks from Grand Rapids.
“They tried to use that term incorrectly on me two weeks ago. You know, it’s all about misinformation,” he added. “But it’s a border bloodbath, and it’s destroying our country and it’s a very bad thing happening. It’s going to end on the day that I take office.”
Trump stood behind a placard that read “Stop Biden’s Border Bloodbath” and was surrounded by members of law enforcement.
