Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains
Outdoing themselves in hyper-ventilatory TDS-fueled rage, Joe Scarborough and the rest of the mendacious insanos at MSDNC (aka MSNBC) and at other lamestream media outlets have seized upon Trump's bloodbath remark as if to illustrate Ayn Rand's point about context-dropping. Although I am no fan of Rand or her acolyte Peikoff as you can readily discern from my Rand category, this term from her lexicon does earn a non-plenary MavPhil endorsement.
Context matters!

Excellent article about this bagno di sangue remark over at the Spectator:

These are dangerous times.
Scarborough: testa dura, stupido, zuccone
How do you say ‘shithead’ in Italian, Joe? Testa feculenti?
These whore-shills for the Biden maladmin should be forced to eat pasta puttanesca every night.
These Dementocratic bastards are maximally shitheaded:
>>Team Biden’s utterly moronic web ad equating Trump’s warnings about trade and the auto industry with Charlottesville — which was yet another utterly moronic ginned-up controversy from his time in office — showed how much disdain it has for the American public.<<
And shameless projectionists on top of it all.
These are dangerous times, indeed.
I would translate shit-head as “grullo,” which simply means “stupid person.” But you can also say “testa di merda,” which is the literal translation. But I lived there, and didn’t hear that much. They also would say, “terze,” which means “third-graders,” as in elementary school.
