Former President Trump encouraged his Iowa supporters to caucus for him at any cost, joking that due to extreme winter weather, “even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it.”
Meteorologists warned of “life-threatening” conditions in Iowa for the weekend as the state prepares to caucus. Trump canceled three of his four in-person Iowa events Sunday due to the freezing cold and snow.
Windchill is projected to be as low as -40 degrees in parts of the state Monday, with temperatures also in the negative. The Hawkeye State is also recovering from a blizzard that rocked the region Friday and Saturday, icing roads.
“You can’t sit home. If you’re sick as a dog, you say, ‘Darling, I gotta make it,’” Trump said at an Indianola rally on Sunday. “Even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it, remember.”

If anyone somehow missed this meme when growing up or are older, it’s a CGI comedy movie called Shrek, and the man speaking is Lord , Farquaad who is voiced by the very talented John Lithgow.
Remember a few years ago when the Lieutenant Governor of Texas told people to die of COVID for the economy?
We’ve now gotten to the point where it’s just die to vote.
Then: Vote or die!
Now: Vote and die!
Vote Or Die!
Die To Vote!
Vote or Die
“Puff Daddy? What are you doing here…?”
It isn’t even the important vote though.
Shouldn’t he want his supporters alive for the actual vote and not just the primaries?

It’s also a coin flip if the American public are going to vote him back in again.
I always like to go back to Adlai Stevenson, who, when told that every thinking person was voting for him, replied, “that is not enough, I need a majority.”
Foolish if you think that’s a joke. He genuinely feels this way.
I’d expect him to realise that he at least also needs them for the presidential election later this year. After that he could burn them off on some sort of insurrection or coup attempt
Unfortunately, he doesn’t need the votes in November he just needs the electors to say he won. He can claim fraud again when he loses
So basically: “Some of you might die, but that’s a chance I’m willing to take.”

The fucking idiots refuse to recognize the contempt he shows for them. What a waste of biomass.
Fucking seriously… This piece of shit cancelled events because of the weather, but says “remember even if you die in the proces you really need to do me a favor. Oh, hold on, ha… Ha. Ha? There I laughed, now I can say it was just a joke, but seriously fuck you and go vote for me.”
Not a single MAGA nut will recognize that it wasn’t a joke.
I mean…Cuz its not…?
So many ‘Ghost Voters’! they have thousands of dead people voting!
All the dead people are saying it 🤣
At this point, Trump could shoot one of his own supporters in the middle of 5th Avenue, and he’d only loose one vote.
Someone would vote for him anyway
Yeah, and do it in shorts and a t-shirt if you really want to own the libs!
I bet you’re not MAN enough to walk there! I heard Trump recently did it without even wearing shoes!
I’m okay with Iowa Trump supporters throwing their lives away for Trump. If you’re a fan of Trump in 2024 after all he’s done, your removal will only improve society.
Very short sighted. Trump should want them to survive until the general election at minimum.
Right? As far as I can tell, the nomination is his as long as he’s eligible. He doesn’t need people dying to get it.
Oh wow, -40F is -40 in Celsius as well. That’s pretty rough indeed.
Trump said “Even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it” jokingly? I suspect that it was no joke as the man has no empathy.
Ain’t this the same guy who was trying to get votes of people who died from COVID thrown out?
I am very ok with Trump encouraging behavior that could kill his followers. I hope they take his advice and go even if they’re very sick with COVID.
From 2020, seven people hospitalised: https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2020/10/28/thousands-of-trump-supporters-left-stranded-in-freezing-weather-after-omaha-rally/
Yeah, I was just thinking that I 100% agree with Trump on this one.
If Trump stood out in the cold and froze to death, that would totally be worth it.
