Donald Trump Makes Crowd Swear Pledge to 'Cheat Like H---' This Election

Donald Trump is facing fresh scrutiny after he led his followers to swear a bizarre pledge on the last day of the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas.

Doubling down on his repeated claims that Democrats cheat in elections, Trump urged the crowd to repeat after him, “I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm gonna try and cheat like h--- like they do.”

The incident occurred on the night of Thursday, September 10, when the president was giving his speech to his followers at the Texas event.

In a bizarre move, he asked the crowd to “please raise [their] right hand” and repeat his words verbatim.

“I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States, that loves us so much he can't even breathe, that I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it anyway,” he said.

He also insisted, “There's never been bigger cheaters; they don't care,” referring to Democrats.

“I am gonna go out and I'm going to get my friends and family and we are going to vote on November 3rd, or we are going to vote before that!” Trump concluded.

Per The New Republic, the president’s actions seemed eerily similar to “cultlike behavior.”

“The ‘cheat like h---’ line proves that Trump's rants about election fraud have always been self-serving, as he doesn't care about any laws as long as he wins,” the publication pointed out.

Aaron Rupar shared a clip of the incident on X, and many critics flocked to the comments to share their opinions.

“F----- cult bulls---. You can't call yourself a patriot while pledging allegiance to a rapist,” one person commented.

“Imagine watching a politician instruct a crowd to raise their right hands, pledge themselves to him, declare him the greatest president in history—and promise to do what he says…and your first thought is still: 'It's everyone ELSE who's brainwashed. Jim Jones couldn't write satire this f----- good,'" another user stated.

“He is grooming his cult for whatever wacky s--- he has planned for the midterms,” a third person noted.

“Oops. He said the 'cheating' part out loud. And people are just mindlessly clapping and cheering along in that room like a bunch of cult members. The U.S. is such a disgrace right now,” a fourth user pointed out.
