      Not that obvious:

      He added: “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a blood bath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a blood bath for the country.”

      That can be said, that he meant the auto industry the first time, and then “the most of it” will be the whole USA

        Anyone who’s heard Trump speak before knows good and well that he does little tangents like that in the middle of his sentences. He doesn’t stay on topic and that was a completely different thought he just shoe horned in the middle of the sentence like he often does. He’s clearly not referring to the car industry.

          You could say that he meant “It’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole auto industry – that’s going to be the least of it” and in that case country means country. But you can’t be sure because he didn’t finish his sentence— wait, where did we hear that

      I never get why his critics do that. He says so much stupid shit, there’s absolutely no need to pull something out of context and discredit yourself.
