Personally, I was very disappointed in the way virtually all US media reported this as if it were a literal call to arms and invitation to violence when it clearly was not. I've pointed out before and I'll mention again that this is the sort of blatant media and party manipulation that drives Trump's popularity among every day Americans. When he is elected in November, everyone participating in this sort of nonsense will be complicit.
Weird that at best the media were like "not entirely sure what he meant since he was semi-incoherrant as usual..." and somehow you have certainty of what he was trying to say. Either way, a presidential candidate threatening a bloodbath of any sort if he doesn't get elected is effing chitty. But apparently that's the republican style these days because their voters lap it up with feverish delight. Much easier than actually presenting a policy platform which they haven't done since 2016 and undoubtedly won't do this time around either since they don't have one.
