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.
