'You'll never have to vote again' Trump tells 'beautiful Christians'

by Lydia Davies

Donald Trump urged religious conservatives to vote for him "just this time" at the Turning Point USA Believers Summit in West Palm Beach, Fla., promising that if elected in November, Christians wouldn't need to vote again.

Dressed in his signature blue suit and red tie, Trump declared his Christian faith and suggested he would resolve issues to the point where Christians would not find it necessary to vote in future elections.

The New York Times reported that in his appeal to the religious right, Trump highlighted his love for Christians and imagined a future where their voting would not be required after his victory. "You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians," he said.

His comments ignited debates on social media, with some critics interpreting them as indicative of an authoritarian approach to future elections.

One X user wrote: "He wants to be a dictator!" while another countered, "You'll never have to do it again because Trump will fix this mess."

Trump's campaign stated that his remarks were intended to unify the country and address the divisive political atmosphere.
