The Spin
Anti-Trump narrative
Trump intentionally left room for interpretation, knowing that his MAGA supporters would appreciate the message of political violence. The unmistakable nature of his statement becomes evident in the context of his other rhetoric dehumanizing immigrants, downplaying white supremacist violence, or defending his supporters convicted of storming the Capitol. Trump proved once again that he's a dangerous faux populist and calculating agitator who can't be allowed to return to the White House.
Pro-Trump narrative
As usual, the liberal establishment-controlled media has taken Trump's statement out of context, as he was clearly referring to the US auto industry. It should also be noted that the automobile industry is indeed facing disaster if Biden continues to promote PRC-made electric vehicles. It's by no means surprising that the left-leaning media has lost the trust of the American people, and this latest hoax will increase rather than decrease Trump's prospects of winning the election.
