The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The headlines seem reasonably accurate based on that direct quote.

Uh, huh. You realize he was talking about...the auto industry and that the "bloodbath" referred to the loss of jobs, right?

Looking at my sources, and reading beyond the headlines, it was -mostly- in the context of the auto industry, though apparently the "that will be the least of it" addition implies a larger scope than just autos. But we can't really know what he meant by that because he didn't elaborate (at least not that I could find in a few minutes of googling).

Uh, huh. NBC and other deliberately phrased their headlines to make it seem like a nationwide January 6th would be in the offing if he loses. That's beyond dishonest and more into the territory of Insane.

A better way to phrase it: "Trump says there will be a bloodbath of jobs in the auto industry if Biden wins"

...but that wouldn't fit the narrative.
