During the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in West Palm Beach, FL, Donald Trump urged Christians to turn out for him on election day, calling it the “most important election ever.” Turning Point Action is the advocacy wing of Turning Point USA, one of the largest national organizations focused on engaging students on conservative issues. Trump said that if he’s elected, Christian-related concerns will be “fixed” so much so that Christians will no longer need to be politically engaged.

Trump said,

You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.

Christianity and American politics

An average of all 2023 Gallup polling shows that 68% of Americans identify with a Christian religion. Trump, therefore, is suggesting that 68% of Americans will be able to disengage from the democratic process if he is elected President because HE will fix all of America’s problems so well that Christians will no longer need to vote.
