In his closing pitch to Iowa Republicans, Trump says their votes can help him punish his enemies
All the major candidates for the Republican presidential nomination are campaigning in Iowa as they appeal to supporters to turn out for the caucuses despite the frigid weather.
The former president has set sky-high expectations for his own performance in the first contest of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. He spent the day before the caucuses trying to ensure he meets them. His main GOP rivals all spent Sunday in Iowa as well, making last-minute appeals to Iowans open to hearing them.
At a rally in Indianola, Trump said his supporters could fight back against his political enemies, claiming that the four indictments he faces were driven by politics and renewing his false claims about the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
Many in the crowd wore white and gold caps identifying them as Trump caucus captains who will help round up support for him Monday night.
He took it a step further on Sunday, suggesting casting a vote for him would be worth dying for.
“You can’t sit home,” Trump said. “If you’re sick as a dog, you say ‘Darling, I gotta make it.’ Even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it.”
And his followers don't understand all it means is... I need you to vote for me and I don't care what happens to you after that.
Which is consistent -- just the same as they will force births but then do fuck-all to help the children God forbid they should need any assistance whatsoever. As long as they get what they want, that's where their care ends.
Why make the world better when you can punish your enemies? PATHETIC
He probably thinks he makes the world a better place by punishing his enemies. These people are very simple-minded.
Donald understands his voting base. If Donald says he'll let the lefty elites 'have it,' that's ultimately what his voters care about.
He doesn't care about making the world a better place. Just HIS world.
*Trump's enemies
AKA fellow Americans. I'm old enough to know that Americans used to say 'better dead than Red' and here are, they'd rather be Red than second place.
This run is so much scarier than 2016 or 2020, this language is someone who's out for blood...
I hope the independents are paying attention...
They are watching very closely from the sidelines.
Lock him the fuck up.
Sad, yet, fascinating how insane his cult has become.
Unless this POS dies, he's going to be reelected.
I wanted you to be so wrong, but yet it pains me: I believe you to be so right about it.
He's still talking about the Washington swamp. Hadn't he promised to clean it in his previous mandate? Has he failed or something?
He promised to "drain the swamp", but didn't clarify that he was planning todrain it into Washington...
No one expects the government to help them, they know better. All they want is for their enemies to suffer.
I mean if this type of rhetoric doesn't get the supreme Court to take an originalitst vew of the Constitution, I don't know what will.
Jesus Christ said the Same thing!
We need an IQ requirement to vote.
I feel like the historical connotations make that difficult.
If there were ever to be some form of this, maybe a humanitarian and empathy focused measurement instead?
Create a list of basic questions and answers which are factually correct and easily available for people to review/memorise in advance. As a part of the voting process the voter is asked 10 out of 100 of those questions, they need to get at least 7 out of ten for the vote to be valid. Multiple choice questions like "Reducing taxes likely means.... Reducing spending or increasing debt".
