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…?”
Soon it’ll be just “Die”
And these morons will do it.
Maybe we should “let them die” like they wanted back when Ron Paul was running.
Shhh. We need less people, and I’d prefer “they” be the ones to die. ;)
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
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.”
So basically: “Some of you might die, but that’s a chance I’m willing to take.”

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 🤣
I think it’s more that Trump supporters always resolve cognitive dissonance in a way that benefits Trump.
They short circuit their brains any time Trump says things that are insulting, demeaning, or patronizing to even them personally so that it’s blamed on the democrats (e.g., “He only said that because the democrats are so bad that even if we die, it’s worth it to beat them!”), treated as a joke (e.g, “What a saint, haha, it’s sarcasm, so self-deprecating, making light of how important Trump is to this country.”), or ignored (e.g., “Trump always keeps it entertaining, this is just him saying stuff.”), in that order.
It’s also because conservatives value hierarchy. He’s saying “If you vote and die, that’s will ensure your status in the hierarchy”. For people who value that, it’s not a bad idea. I’m proud of going to vote during the pandemic (before there was a vaccine) just to kick this smelly fatass in the balls.
Its a serious issue. Nothing can ever be falsified, I honestly wonder what they would think if he demanded they defy gravity
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
Thinking about it now, the person he gunned down would probably become a martyr and used to increase his vote count somehow. Every bad thing he does seem to just increase his support.
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!
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.
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.
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?
If Trump stood out in the cold and froze to death, that would totally be worth it.
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.

Yeah, I was just thinking that I 100% agree with Trump on this one.
