President Donald Trump concluded his Republican midterm convention on Thursday by leading the audience in a pledge … to himself.
Trump asked the crowd to raise their right hands and begin: “I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States.”
The crowd dutifully repeated the line, calling Trump “the greatest president in the history of the United States.”
Trump added: “that loves us so much he can’t even breathe.”
The crowd again repeated the line, but then it got a little harder to follow.
“That I will go out with my family, my friends, I’ll do it anyway, I don’t care if I’m registered or not. I’m going to try and cheat like hell like they do,” he said. “There’s never been bigger cheaters, they don’t care. I am going to go out and I am going to get my friends, my family, and we are going to vote on November 3rd or we are going to vote before that.”
Unable to repeat all of that, the crowd cheered.
Trump realized he lost them and reset.
“Are you ready?” he asked. “Here’s the way you ― “
But he wasn’t ready himself as he got sidetracked by people in the audience. He tried once more to finish, with the crowd repeating after him, but left them behind as he went off on another tangent.
“So help me God,” he concluded.
The crowd repeated that part heartily.
“You know what happens if you don’t vote?” Trump asked. “You go to hell!”
So much blasphemy that he’s telling his supporters they’re going to hell!
He was previously registered as a Democrat and had donated more to Democrats than Republicans. Hard to say what he truly believes.
He believe in himself
Yeah he’s a relentless narcissist. Believing in something other than himself would take away from his himself to believe in
I care less about what is in his heart than what he does.
He does bad things and lies all the time. I would look at his donations to Democrats as influence peddling and not evidence that he believes anything at all.
Wait, what?
He lived in New York, so all the local politicians were Democrats. Like the other commenter said, it was just influence peddling. He doesn’t care about anything but self-aggrandizement.
