After major news organizations distorted former President Donald Trump’s comments about a “bloodbath” for the auto industry, a majority of voters now agree with Trump that the news media are “the enemy of the people.”
That’s according to Rasmussen Reports.
The survey finds that 60% of likely voters agree that the media are “truly the enemy of the people,” as Trump said in 2019, including 30% who “strongly agree..”
Thirty-six percent (36%) disagree, including 21% who “strongly disagree.”
When he made the remark in Dayton, Ohio, Trump was discussing Chinese competition to the US auto industry when he said, “If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be … a bloodbath for the country.”
This was distorted in many news reports as a threat of violence.

Eleven percent (11%) say they are not sure.
