Trump tells supporters to’cheat like hell’ in unprecedented election pledge

US President Donald Trump has called upon his supporters to cast their ballots in the upcoming election, declaring that he is indifferent to whether they possess valid registration. At a rally in Dallas, Texas, Trump encouraged attendees to "cheat like hell," implying that they should engage in any means necessary to secure victory.

During a mock pledge, Trump directed the crowd to raise their right hands and recite a statement supporting him as "the greatest president in the history of the United States." He then urged them to motivate their families and friends to vote, declaring, "I don’t care if I’m registered or not. I’m going to try and cheat like hell like they do.

They’ve never—there’s never been bigger cheaters. I don’t care." Trump further pledged to personally canvass and encourage voting, stating, "I am going to go out, and I’m going to get my friends, my family, and we are going to vote on November 3rd, or we are going to vote before that. So help me God." The crowd echoed his final plea before Trump quipped about the consequences of not casting a ballot, saying, "Now I know.

Now, I’d say just about everybody who…you know what happens if you don’t vote? You go to hell, you know that. Okay?" These remarks reflect Trump's efforts to mobilize Republican voters amidst the pivotal November election, where control of Congress hangs in the balance.
