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.”
You don’t understand how leadership works, do you?
A leader’s power comes from those who follow. Trump’s followers are dangerous lunatics who believe they are willing to commit acts of violence. They care what he says and there’s enough that we should care too, insofar as it tells us what to expect.
Look, I’ll talk with you, but not if this is how you treat me.
