“I don’t care how, but you have to get out and vote,” Trump told the crowd at Turning Point Action’s Believer’s Summit. “Christians get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore.”

“In four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed. It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians,” Trump added during his 70-minute long speech. “We’ll have it fixed so good. You’re not going to have to vote.”

    Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. There’s a chance Trump just wants to be president and once he’s term limited he doesn’t care anymore….

    But the cynic in me says he wants to be a dictator

      Could the cynic in you be simply remembering the time he said he’d be a dictator for ‘only the first day’ or something to that effect?

        He said “on day one”. That doesn’t mean ONLY one day, that means it will start immediately.

        Honestly, I can’t remember if he said that. He’s done and said so many terrible things that it all melds together for me.

      He’s outright saying he’s going to “fix” them “needing” to vote. One way or another, he definitely wants to not let someone take office after him.

        Look, some part of me is still hoping Trump has a real “come to god” moment in which he realizes that he really needs to take responsibility for what he’s done. I’ve never hoped that Trump had a disastrous presidency, but I was always prepared for it.

        And quite honestly, I’m not sure Trump /wants/ to be president so much as he does wants “immunity” for his crimes and he realizes he can become filthy rich abusing his power. I don’t think he wants any of the real responsibility

          If Trump ever has “come to God” moment, it will be to try and fire Him for getting the attention Trump feels he deserves.
