Another day, another Trump speech controversy: Remember the "grab 'em by the pussy" comments Donald Trump made in the early '00s that came out during the 2016 presidential race? Or his "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters" comment from the same campaign? Those soundbites loom large in people's imaginations, but they weren't especially vague; they required no distortion to be unflattering to the man who said them.
Now, though, each new Trump comment seems like a Rorschach. His "bloodbath" comment in Vandalia, Ohio, on Saturday is no exception, but perhaps indicative of how this campaign cycle is going to go.
