President Donald Trump had a little fun on the second night of the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, as he had the packed arena vow to get out and vote for GOP candidates.
“You know what happens if you don’t vote right? You go to hell, you know that,” the president teased the crowd after they repeated his makeshift vow. “You go to hell. And I don’t want that to happen to you, so please go and vote!”
Trump urged attendees to “pretend I’m on the ballot because in a way I am on the ballot, because if they get in, they are going to take away all of the things that we’ve got, and we can’t let that happen.”
After reminding them that Democrats “want to cheat,” he had the crowd raise their right hand and repeat after him.
“I pledge, to the greatest president in the history of the United States — [who] loves us so much he can’t even breathe — that I will go out with my family, my friends, I’ll do it any way, I don’t care if I’m registered or not, I’m going to try to cheat like hell like they do,” Trump said jokingly. “There has never been bigger cheaters; they don’t care. I am going to go out, and I’m going to get my friends and family, and we are going to vote on November 3, or we are going to vote before that.”
OMG 🤣 President Trump Just Made the Whole RNC Pledge to Vote Or ‘You’re Going to Hell”
“I pledge to the greatest President in the history of the United States, who loves us so much that I will get out and vote so help me God”

After a little good-natured banter with the “Front Row Joes,” Trump finished the pledge: “We swear that on November 3, we’re going to go out and vote — and you know what, if you want, you can vote Democrat, but I don’t think there is one person in this room that’s gonna vote Democrat. I don’t think so. So I don’t want to waste the words vote Republican, just go out. If you vote, you’re voting Republican, OK — So help me God.”
One thing was certain: a good time was had by all — other than the Trump-hating media and the TDS-suffering sycophants who consume their biased propaganda.
As one social media user noted, what makes Trump so different than the DC political class is that he “knows how to win a crowd” — here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
This is why Trump beats the DEMOCRATS right here….this is why he separates himself from the Thunes, Johnsons, Jordans, Bushes, Romneys, Collins and other LIMB GOPers….
Trump knows how to WIN a CROWD, have FUN, make fun of Himself, hammers the Democrats, Make the Audience…
