Former President Donald Trump made a controversial statement at a gathering of religious conservatives in West Palm Beach, Florida. In the closing minutes of his speech, he told Christians that if they voted for him in the upcoming election, they would never need to vote again.

"Christians, get out and vote. Just this time," Trump said. "You won't have to do it anymore, you know what? Four more years, it'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."

Trump's comments were met with applause from the crowd, but they also drew criticism from some who saw them as an attempt to disenfranchise voters. Critics pointed out that Trump has a history of making inflammatory statements, and that his comments about voting could be interpreted as a threat to democracy.

Trump's supporters, however, defended his remarks, arguing that he was simply trying to motivate his base to vote. They also pointed out that Trump has a strong record of supporting religious freedom, and that his comments should be seen in that context.

The controversy over Trump's remarks is likely to continue in the coming weeks and months. It remains to be seen whether his comments will have any impact on the upcoming election.
