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.”

    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?

      That’s how he talks, even way before he ran for president. Trump was kind of a hyperbolic snake oil salesman in the stock markets before he got into politics, and he was surprisingly good at it.

      Also.

      Welcome to Costco, I love you

          He was. Say what you will about Trump, but he’s great at jawboning. And not technically lying to sell something for way more than its worth.

          Look up the Motley Fool podcasts on him. They went to meet him in person.

            He just sounds completely demented to me, every time I heard him talk. I wouldn’t buy anything from him from fear of it being a scam, even if it seemed like a great deal

      I think they’re all high on something. It results in a bad trip for the rest of us.
