Former President Donald Trump made a controversial statement during his speech at The Believers’ Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida, hosted by Turning Point Action.
Addressing a crowd of conservative Christians, Trump claimed that if he wins the upcoming presidential election in November, they “won’t have to vote anymore.”
“Christians get out and vote. Just this time,” he urged. “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.”
His comments have sparked concerns and accusations of authoritarianism on social media, with some interpreting his remarks as an indication that he might not leave office if elected.
Toward the end of his speech, Trump reiterated his unfounded claim that the 2020 election was rigged against him. This assertion was met with a standing ovation and chants of “Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight” from the audience.
Trump also mentioned his recent injury from an attempted assassination at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, revealing that he had just removed the last bandage from his ear.
The former president’s remarks come amid his efforts to appeal to evangelical Christians, a key demographic for his campaign. He spent much of his speech criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, and met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago prior to the event.
Other notable speakers at the summit included former Trump adviser Peter Navarro and conservative political activist Charlie Kirk. Navarro, who was recently released from prison, led the audience in a chant, warning them about government control.
Trump has consistently sought support from evangelical Christians, emphasizing their importance in the upcoming election. His latest comments, however, have ignited a debate about the implications of his statements and their potential impact on democracy.
