Trump promises that if elected nobody will have to vote in four more years. By Hal Brown, MSW

 

You can watch him saying this here.

I couldn't t resist posting my snarky reply to Acyn, shown above. He is the Senior Digital Editor for http://MeidasTouch.com who frequently posts on X, with many of the posts republished. Most of the replies were much more serious than mine. Just a few examples (click to enlarge):

This was the top story on HUFFPOST:

Here's an excerpt:

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump told Christians on Friday to vote “just this time” and said they “won’t have to do it anymore” after the election in November.

“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,” the former president told the crowd at the Believers Summit, a faith-focused event in Florida.

“You’ve got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote.”

It’s unclear what Trump was referring to in his remarks.

He has previously said that he’d act like a dictator only on “day one” of a second term, called for the “termination” of articles of the Constitution, attempted a coup to remain in the White House, and appeared to float the idea of serving a third presidential term.

The former president’s new comments arrive roughly four months after The American Conservative, a magazine and partner organization of the far-right Project 2025 agenda, published an article calling for the repeal of the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms, as Media Matters for America reported at the time.

This is being covered in other media:

I didn't see anything on the Fox News website.

I suppose there are two ways to take this. The least bad may be that Trump will have become dictator and eleminated elections. As horrifying as that is, consider that the reasons these Christians and others like them wouldn't have to vote is that anyone who might vote against Trump would be in concentration camps or worse. 

If he had elections, which he might want to do for appearances sake, with mostly his supporters voting he could, like Putin did, claim to have gotten 87.97% of the vote. I feel for the 12.03% who voted for his rival who I think were well compensated for running and making the election appear to be fair.

I wonder if Trump even thought about how these comments would be used against him or if he did, if he cared. Perhaps he gets a thrill out of trolling his enemies. Once again, his behavior fits with his being a sadistic malignant narcissist.
