When I heard Sarah describe the “obvious” use of the term bloodbath to refer only to the auto industry, I wanted to scream. This was not at all how I interpreted his mangled sentence, right from the get go. Sorry Sarah, gotta disagree with your take at least as it being “obvious” to anyone.

You lose the benefit of the doubt saying words like "bloodbath" if you stage a violent coup, express enthusiasm for genocidal dictators, and have been found liable for rape.

Context matters. If Trumps says "blood bath" and going to assume he's referring to literal bloodshed, because he's repeatedly demonstrated enthusiasm for literal bloodshed.
