Speaking of purposeful editing and out of context, how about that bloodbath...
You mean the one where he is standing behind a lecture with a sign that says “Stop Biden Border Bloodbath”? That one?
“Mr. Trump also used his speech, which lasted roughly 45 minutes, to defend his use of dehumanizing language to refer to immigrants accused of crimes. After referring to the man who the authorities say killed a 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia in February, Mr. Trump said: “Democrats said please don’t call them ‘animals.’ I said, no, they’re not humans, they’re animals.”
Mr. Trump drew attention last month when, while discussing the U.S. auto industry, he predicted a “blood bath for the country” should he lose in November. After critics accused him of stoking violence, Mr. Trump and his allies pointed back to Mr. Biden, insisting he was responsible for a “blood bath” because of his immigration policies.

Trump said other countries are sending “prisoners, murderers, drug dealers, mental patients and terrorists”, which is strange given that violent crime is *decreasing*, and that in immigrant communities it is decreasing even faster than overall.
Even weirder, there are three dozen murders every day in the US, and 99.9% of them are caused by US citizens, yet the only ones he screams about are the rare - to the point of almost statistical insignificance - of crimes committed by immigrants.
You know what gaslighting is? Don’t light a match, you will explode.
