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.”

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.

So he wants to be a permanent dictator? Sounds legit considering the SCOTUS verdict about no criminal reponsibility

I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian.

"Hello, fellow Christians! You should vote for me, because I am, like you, a Christian! Praise Jesus!"

It's not cryptic at all, it's rather straightforward.

Cryptic, nothing. What he means is that we won't be allowed to vote. This is precisely what happens when you tolerate tyranny for as long as we've tolerated Trump's brand of it. We used to fight tyranny whenever it raised its head, but corporate media and its demands for "civility" has turned us into a nation of neuters.

In case you missed it the OLD orange felon/rapist has already declared himself the winner. He has said if he isn't the winner the election was rigged. They intend to take control no matter what.

Yes very cryptic, I wonder what he could possibly mean by that?

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (3 children)

So he's basically killing democracy in his country if he wins the election.

I mean, once he wins, because I'm very pessimistic.

my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian. I love you.

I'm not an expert in American politics, but is he high on something?

If you listen to that audio closely it sounds like he said “im not Christian”. But then he would be telling the truth. And he doesn’t know how to do that.
