MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough deleted his social media post X about Donald Trump’s warning of a “bloodbath” for the country if Joe Biden won the election.
Trump made headlines with the warning after criticizing the offshoring of jobs in the auto industry under Biden.

Since the mainstream media falsely claims that Donald Trump warned of a "bloodbath" if he loses the 2024 election, I encourage you to listen to what he actually said and what he was referring to and draw your own conclusion: the automobile industry and the loss of jobs.

The former president also accused Mexico and China of siphoning off American manufacturing jobs and flooding the U.S. market with cheaply produced cars.
However, Scarborough wasn’t happy with Trump’s remarks, taking to social media to post footage from the Jan 6 Capitol riot, claiming the former president was endorsing chaos.
“Donald Trump’s America. And he’s proud of it,” Scarborough wrote in the now-deleted post.
“Promised another ‘bloodbath’ if he loses again.”
But the post lasted only a short time after Elon Musk responded by challenging the accuracy of Scarborough’s rethoric.
“Jan 6 was not a ‘bloodbath’ by any definition, and Trump was referring to job losses in the auto industry when he used that word. Your post is extremely misleading,” Musk replied.
Musk’s intervention highlighted the “legacy media lies,” showing how news outlets had taken Trump’s comments out of context.

Musk went on to blast the media’s portrayal of the situation, emphasizing the importance of accurate reporting.
He also took issue with Scarborough’s framing of Trump’s words, arguing they were misconstrued to fit the leftist narrative.

Scarborough responded by deleting his original post.
The deletion of the post sparked a broader debate on the role of the media in shaping public perception.
Additionally, it highlighted the importance of critical thinking in an era where the media has become nothing more than a propaganda machine.
