Ex-Trump Press Aide Breaks Down True Message Of His 'Unhinged' Comments

Sarah Matthews , a former press aide to Donald Trump , on Monday said that she had no doubts about the message the former president was sending with his weekend warning of a blood bath if he doesnt win back the White House.

Trump allies have claimed that the presumptive GOP nominees remark was just about the auto industry and the economy under President Joe Biden . But critics now including Matthews have highlighted how its part of a pattern of incendiary comments from the four-times-indicted ex-POTUS.

It follows Trumps proven track record of these kinds of unhinged comments, Matthews told MSNBC s Jen Psaki, pointing also to his increasingly violent rhetoric and apocalyptic rhetoric, almost. These serve as a warning call or even marching orders for his supporters, she added.

Matthews explained Trumps 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.

Obviously the Trump campaign is out there saying, Of course hes talking about the auto industry. But then why would he use a phrase like thats going to be the least of it immediately afterward? That alludes to something more, Matthews added.

She acknowledged that Trump may just have been talking about the economy. But he helped incite a deadly insurrection on our nations Capital, she recalled. So when hes using terms like blood bath, its really hard for me to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Matthews resigned as Trumps deputy press secretary on the day of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. She has since become a fierce critic of her former boss.

When he refused to accept the results of the 2020 election, it started this slow burn in me where I felt really uncomfortable with the things he was saying and doing, and then obviously it was a breaking point for me on Jan. 6, Matthews revealed last month .

Matthews has said that shell vote for Biden over Trump in November.
