Addressing a rally in Ohio, Republican candidate Donald Trump referred to Joe Biden as the “worst” President. He began by noting the date, “The date — remember this, November 5 — I believe it’s going to be the most important date in the history of our country.”
He then said, “If you’re listening, President Xi,” referring to a possible trade war with China, “You’re building monstrous car plants in Mexico right now…you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us, no. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car. Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole that’s gonna be the least of it.”
“It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories. If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure that you’ll ever have another election in this country,” he added.

Joe Biden Responds To Donald Trump
Naturally, Joe Biden launched into a crisp response to opponent’s remark and said, “He wants another January 6 but the American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge,” referring to the deadly attack on the US Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021.
He also added, “Freedom is under assault… The lies about the 2020 election, the plot to overturn it, to embrace the Jan. 6 insurrection pose the greatest threat to our democracy since the American Civil War. In 2020, they failed, but … the threat remains.”
Dodging concerns that he is now too old to be President, Biden cracked a joke and said, “One candidate’s too old and mentally unfit to be president. The other guy’s me.”
