Donald Trump branded 'dictator' after telling MAGA fans 'you won't have to vote again'

I read this just now and also a couple of time today in different places and ask is this really what US citizens really want? No wonder he was pally with Putin and Kim who are both dictators. Does America really not want democracy?

The US is a Republic not a democracy.
James Madison said (Federalist Papers #14) that "in a democracy, the people meet and exercise the government in person: in a republic, they assemble and administer it by their representatives and agents. A democracy, consequently, must be confined to a small spot. A republic may be extended over a large region.”

It would be helpful to have a link to a news article or YouTube news station to verify those were his exact words and the context.

Oh Pearl, knowing Trump, he's trolling the left. The left media is constantly threatening that Trump is the end of democracy. They allways point a finger at what they are doing.
Good, maybe we will back to being a Constitutional Republic! That is how it is supposed to be...
I'm sure someone will ask him to clarify...
Do not believe the media over there. Read your news for USA- here on www.oann.com


he's not pals with putin and kim- that's the left rubbish again. We didnt have issues with those countries when he was president. He had them under control. look what Joe did.
its amazing how the media is making right wrong and wrong right overseas too!

Hello @Pearl, I hope your husband is doing well and you and the rest of your family also. I am happy that you are here to speak your mind. I have been watching the UK and the current climate of NATO and USA regarding Russia, China, Iran and North Korea and how that relates to the Ukraine war. I pray that a peaceful solution to the wars in the world can be found for all parties that is an acceptable solution between parties that are either fighting or have tensions. There is also the Israel and Hamas war and I certainly hope Iran does not become involved more than it is already.

And that relates to the presidency and where are we at in the current climate of tensions between nuclear capable countries. UK is probably effected that way and so is the USA.

Encouragement towards God's ways is the right direction. The people of the USA may review the actions of which political party they feel represents them more. Conservative Christians represent me more than others in my review of their actions when in office.

We must remember that Trump is a human and child of God. I see a lot of accusations brought up in the media spotlight and many are past issues. I did not review which were sins under God's laws and some appeared to be as accused. I certainly don't know if he was guilty of the accusations brought up. But I do know God can forgive people and we may never know. That said should I pass judgment on Trump?

Matt 24 talks about the world becoming worse and worse. This is the way it will be till the end. I have no idea why folks think it will get better--the Bible does not say that.

A child of God does not threaten, as I've seen so many times.
I do not want a dictatorship.

Thank you for posting.

Naturally, the anti-Trump media have taken it out of context.

He was speaking at the Believers Summit in West Palm Beach. His message: You Must vote in 2024! (Apparently this group tends to avoid voting, for whatever reason.) If we win in 2024, you can return to not voting the next cycle. (Supposed to be a joke. My Paraphrase).

In other words, the radicals are poised to take over, by stuffing ballot boxes—whatever it takes. Once again () this is a crucial election, so VOTE!

Hope these additions clarify.

The Media love to spin “jokes”: they have zero sense of humor. Etc.

Peace.

Did you read the whole thing in context. Or just what the liberal left posted?

Hello @Cassandra, good to hear from you. Hope things are well and that God blesses you richly.

I do see the end times. I have spent a lot of time researching the issues of the country and also the world as given in news and internet resources. I have reported and created threads in various areas of this website. I hope you are not offended at my honest look into some of the issues I have addressed. I felt it necessary. I do see that things have definitely got out of control and there is much evil in the world. People are free to choose good or evil and that can certainly be witnessed in their works. And perhaps that is what we are seeing outside the area of politics as a nation. People choosing their way.

As Christians we hope for a good work that shows itself in our countries and over the entire world. I enjoy being part of good from God in Christianity. I certainly hope I don't give up hope in the world that God so loves. He is powerful enough to deal with the issues of evil and promote the Good works of God and those he provides for us. God is certainly the judge and King of his kingdom.

Politics can be an area of concern in friendly conversations as we both are aware of. On Facebook I have a friend and family network that I enjoy. I usually scroll past political content as it always appears suspicious to one side in a two party system like Republican or Democrat.

What? a dictatorship? from whom? what has trump ever done to cause you to say that?
I have never gotten an answer from anyone yet.
Is it just parroting the lying media because there is nothing? .i dont get it. Is this that Project 25 baseless fear again?

If anything at all the left are the dictators.- look at how people were cancelled for speaking! No freedom of speech is a dictatorship.
The left threatens ourconstitutionall freedoms every day.
The left is deep in bed with the UN as well as the rino's are. trump was not last time I checked. I always check but ,so far- nothing.

then you do not want a socialist liberal in the White House. Because that is what you will get. The way they got rid of Biden just proves who the real people in charge are.. And the fact they attack trump the way they do. Just proves they are scared of the only one who can not be bought, who can destroy them.. with the help of others he will put in charge..

This is the context of what Trump was saying. No where can one think this means dictator.... it's an encouragement for Christians to vote this time at least.

Kamala Harris is a far, far left candidate and that administration has caused a lot of problems here. And remember she said Biden was fine... until the whole world saw the debate and the Democrats dumped him.

I didn’t take what he said to mean democracy would end, I presumed that he meant he would sort everything out so there would be unity within American. In other words conveying what he thinks he will achieve if he is voted for , whether it is ego or just plain wishful thinking, I don’t know.

Just as I thought. He is talking to people who do not normally vote. Begging them to get out and Vote. And get everyone they know to get out and vote. Put him in so he can fix things, then if they want to go back to not voting again, they will not have to.

@Pearl This is what I meant about the media twisting things or lying to get people against trump.

They are doing it against his VP pick now. Who was talking about all the single women who are anti family. Who voluntarily had no kids, who know nothing of what the american family has to go through to survive, he called them cat ladies. And the left is up in arms because he is against single mothers. (Not true)

Granted, these guys should think of better WATS to say things, But what they said is the truth, and its being turned on them by taking them out of context. Much like many people take the bible out of context by taking a few words out of a conversation and making a doctrine out of it.

Trump probably did mean that people who don't normally vote should get out and vote for him; then they could go back to not voting again. He can't run again if he is President for another term. Think about that, he thinks people should only exercise their right to vote if they're voting for him. What a narcissistic egomaniac. He wants to make himself great, not America. If people can't see him for what he is by now they never will; their assimilation is compete.

Mine was honest as well, dev . That there is evil is prophesied. We are living in the end times. Nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom. And the gospel shall be preached to all the world as a witness, and then the end shall come. Once the gospel is preached to all, the end shall come.

Christian Nationalism will attempt to force on others allegiance to God. God wants people to come to Him because they love Him.
Jesus separated church and state. Render unto Caesar.

Kings were not to be priests. God had the roles separate.for priests and kings. . The priests were from the tribe of Levi, specifically the descendants of Aaron, and were responsible for the spiritual and religious duties, including offering sacrifices, maintaining the sanctuary, and teaching the Law (Exodus 28-29, Leviticus 8-10). Kings, on the other hand, were primarily from the tribe of Judah and were responsible for governance, military leadership, and ensuring justice and order (1 Samuel 8:19-20, 1 Kings 2:3).

This assured, or tried to assure checks and balances. Priests dealt with sacred things, kings dealt with military things.

in the Old Testament kings who attempted to take on priestly roles faced severe consequences. King Uzziah, who tried to burn incense in the temple, a duty reserved for priests. He was struck with leprosy as a punishment for his transgression (2 Chronicles 26:16-21).

The only priest king is Jesus Christ, who is both King of Kings and Lord of Lords, after the order of Melchizedek.
