The grudge match over whether Trump meant apocalyptic and blood-drenched civil violence or simply stiff competition for the U.S. auto industry is crazy. If you look at the actual words it seems clear he initially riffs on his claims about the auto industry but then doubles down on the promise of a bloodbath, suggesting that problems with the economy will be the least of the country’s problems. You can interpret it either way because Trump always expresses himself in a kind of confused word salad.
