Context
The context of the remark suggests Trump was predicting an "economic bloodbath" for the country, not a literal one, if he loses the 2024 presidential election.
On March 16, 2024, the hashtag "#bloodbath" trended sharply on social media in the wake of a Dayton, Ohio, campaign speech earlier that day by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump stirred up controversy by claiming that if he didn't get elected for another presidential term, "It's going to be a bloodbath for the country."

A video recording of the speech from C-SPAN provides proof that he said exactly those words, which many partisan observers, such as the author of the X (formerly Twitter) post below, interpreted as a threat of post-election violence:

Donald Trump's $355million GoFundMe to help with legal fees is falling short – by $354million​

MAGA supporting millionaire Elena Cardone is still a hefty $354million shy of her goal in order to help Donald Trump with his legal fees as he’s embroiled in lawsuits and unable to get a bond

Elena Cardone, the wife of multi-millionaire influencer and investor Grant Cardone, set up the fundraiser on February 16 – the same day the former president was ordered to pay back millions after a judge ruled he had been fraudulently inflating his wealth for years. Days later, Cardone was "thrilled" to announce that her fundraiser had reached the $1million mark.

However, in the past few weeks, the dial has only moved by another $360,000 – accumulating a grand total of $1.36million, as of Monday evening. It comes as Trump failed to get a bond to secure the whole $464million (£365million) fraud judgement against him, his lawyers announced on Monday, March 18.
