Former President Donald Trump urged members of a crowd in Florida to vote and said that if he wins, they “won’t have to vote anymore.”

Speaking at a Turning Point Action event in West Palm Beach on Friday, Trump, who tried to overturn the 2020 election he lost, delivered a cryptic message.

“And again, Christians, get out and vote!” he said to a cheering audience. “Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian. I love you. Get out. You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again.”

Cryptic implies there is something to decipher

That wasn't cryptic at all. I cannot wait until he is dead in the ground -- after he loses the election. Or, at minimum, rots in prison as someone's bitch the rest of his useless life.

Honestly, considering the master level narcissist Trim is, this is likely more a "after 4 more years I'm not going to run anymore so I couldn't give a fuck about what you guys do" instead of "I'll be dictator and democracy will be over"

Either way it's bad

I only recently watched Civil War what the fuck is he doing

I'm not american, but I have a feeling this election is going to go into history.

Vote for Trump and he'll turn it into dictatorship.

Vote for Harris and she'll be the first woman president.

What will it be?

RN is the time to do something cool so your name gets on the history test

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Not just the first woman president, but the first female mixed race president and the first to snap back when attacked in a long time. Trump is scared. He just went from saying "you don't need to vote because we have plenty of votes" to "please vote so we can put an to end voting"

Edited to say first female mixed race since Obama was first mixed race

Obama was the first mixed race President.

TIL. I was just leaving highschool when Obama was elected so I don't know as much about him.

Cryptically? This motherfucker is the most transparent asshole on the planet. He couldn't convince a bucket of fish they were out of the water.

He plain and clearly said "if I win it will be the end of democracy". There isn't subtext.

In four years, you don’t have to vote again.

Man, I thought it was just a misquote, but he kept going and getting more specific.

[–] [email protected] 99 points 4 months ago (3 children)

In my eyes this is the actual scariest thing he's ever said.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Genuine national security threat.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean it quite a good soundbite for any democratic ad for sure.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

I seriously want to just scatter pictures of this quote all over town.. don't see how any Republican could be on board with this unless they actually want a dictatorship
