“I don’t care how, but you have to get out and vote,” Trump told the crowd at Turning Point Action’s Believer’s Summit. “Christians get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore.”

“In four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed. It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians,” Trump added during his 70-minute long speech. “We’ll have it fixed so good. You’re not going to have to vote.”

    I’m like 80% sure Trump doesn’t want to end democracy. He just wants more attention, power, and to protect himself when he goes out after 4 years. He said what he said here not because democracy will be over, but because he can’t serve another term as president anymore, and he literally doesn’t care what happens after as long as he’s setup well, so “christians don’t have to vote anymore”, since he’ll not be involved anymore.

    That said, the people he does favors for or listens to want to end it as much as possible.

      If he stopped talking after the first paragraph then there is room for interpretation. The second paragraph about having this things “fixed” makes it pretty clear what he means.

      Hmm. Interesting idea. I’m sure the next sentence won’t be completely consistent with Trump wanting to end democracy.

      He just wants more attention, power, and to protect himself when he goes out after 4 years.

      Oh.
