Ex-Trump Press Aide Breaks Down True Message Of His ‘Unhinged’ Comments
HuffPost
Sarah Matthews explained a tactic of the former president.
Sarah Matthews, a former press aide to Donald Trump, on Monday said she had no doubts about the message the former president was sending to his supporters with his weekend warning of a “bloodbath” should he not win back the White House.
Trump allies have claimed the presumptive GOP nominee’s threat was just about the auto industry and the economy under President Joe Biden. But critics — now including Matthews — have highlighted how it’s part of a pattern of incendiary comments from the four-times-indicted ex-POTUS.
It follows Trump’s “proven track record of these kinds of unhinged comments” and “increasingly violent rhetoric and apocalyptic rhetoric almost,” Matthews told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki. And they serve as “a warning call” or even marching orders for his supporters, she added.
Matthews explained Trump’s tactic of deliberate ambiguity.
“Trump oftentimes speaks in these kinds of incoherent vague sentences so that allows people to draw the conclusion that they want to fit their own narrative,” she said.
