The business of saluting the rioters of January 6th is much more important than the “bloodbath” remark. We cannot say for sure what Trump meant with the remark, though we can be pretty sure that if an ordinarily intelligent and articulate person wanted to accuse a political opponent of leading the country toward a secular economic disaster, he could do it better and more clearly. The stuff with the rioters, on the other hand, is clear. He saluted them because he thinks the riot and his attempted coup were good things. The only thing he regrets about trying to overthrow the government is that he failed. I don’t see how even his most dedicated apologist can see it any other way.
