Christians only need to vote one more time

At 54:45-46, did DJT say "I'm a Christian" or did he say "I'm not Christian"? Hard to tell.

Here, the clip of his speech starts at the 53:30 minute mark. Please take notice that his appeal to Christians voting comes immediately after he talks about CRT, schools and "transgender insanity."
Immediately?
the commercial break was two minutes long separating those sections. Trump could've changed topics numerous times in that length of time. Within this speech, he changes topic mid-sentence in places.
The commercial break removed anything that could've changed the context already being discussed.

That is a good question. Today, when I was watching the entire 58 minute video, it looked like to me that there was a seamless transition. The only way which I could tell that there was a commercial break was because the female narrator said so. Perhaps the commercial break actually only occurred when the youtube video was being streamed live?

A highlight from Trump’s speach:

"I don't care how, but you have to get out and vote and again," he added. "Christians, get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It will be fixed. It will be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."



Here is the best and number one reason why NO ONE should vote for Donald Trump. On a number of occasions he has expressed his belief that he should have full authority if President, coupled with absolute immunity.



This is a major historically backed position that should be immediately and totally rejected. All dictatorial types thoughout HISTORY have insisted on and been granted this. Besides the Ceasars, some Popes, and Czars, etc., we fought the Revolutionary war to get out from under a man with full authority and absolute immunity. We fought WWII and lost many fine Patriots to stop Hitler who was another. Now think about the many others…Mussolini, Castro, Franco, Kim Jung-Un and so on. Voting FOR Trump is voting FOR this and YOU must NOT make this mistake.



Remember, those who do not learn from HISTORY are doomed to repeat it.

Instead follow the Lord. Read Isaiah 58:6-12 and Matthew 25:31-46 and now be it and do it. Be ye conformed to the image of His Son. The works do not save but the saved will do these works (Ephesians 1:10 and more). This is the demonstrtation ofthe Spirit that is in Him (Romans 8:9)

May I ask you to watch the video clips showing the context of Trump's words in that speech? The analysis from Newsweek about that speech appears to be an analysis from a liberal point of view.

It looks to me as-if the commercials were in the live stream. They were removed from the replay we are watching/referencing.
The commercial break began 10 minutes after the hour and the feed is rejoined at 12 minutes after the hour.

There's nothing there to change/add context. The commercial break took that away. I would love to see a transcript of the material within that ~2 minutes.

There's nothing that alters context. His previous topic is voter ID. Then he moves to:

If the commercials were removed from the replay, then it really does look like to me when I watched it that there was not a two minute break of his speech in the replay of the video.

I posted unedited video.

However
In the video you posted there's a clock showing the time of day (not video runtime).
the break interruption took place at 10 minutes after the hour. The speech was rejoined at 12 minutes after the hour.
at the very least the break was 1 minute and a few seconds.
[edit] the commercial break was 2:20~, likely a 2 minute avail with 10-15 seconds on each side for the breakaway. Just as I originally said/suspected[/edit]

He talks about voter ID in that two minutes, I posted the unedited video above.

I watched them fully before I responded. I am neither a liberal or a conservative, Dem or Repub, I am a follower of the Lord Jesus (not just as Savior but as THE Lord). I see the things He said, the way He acted, that which He commands, and I follow HIM. I have voted Rrepuib, Dem, and other, on various occasions but HE and His will and recommendations are what counts for me.

Donald Trump is NOT and never has been pro-Jesus, at least not our Biblical Lord. He is using spin from his perspective to capture the votes of the easily persuaded and gullable. The reason why you will not vote again is because if he gets his way he will be the new King. Now I an not and have never been a Kamala fan but I will NOT empower a new dictator type no matter what he spews out of his mouth.

As one of his heroes once said

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Follow Jesus faithfully and forget lib/conserv, dem/repub, before it is too late. Be blessed and may the Spirit that is in Christ Jesus lead you and guide you into all truth, even if that means you become an enemy of the State. Amen​

I heard, "I'm a Christian." That is also what the closed captioning in the video put forth as well.
Those in Matthew 7:21-23 and Matthew 25:1-13 also claimed to be His followers but he never knew them. Even Simon Magi in Acts 8 "believed and was baptized" but his heart was wrong before God. So just because someone says it does not make it so. You shall know them by their fruits.

He sounds like he's saying: Christians, I know you're not going to get out and vote for me unless you believe it's to your advantage. Trust me, Christians, I'm going to take care of your interests, and then you don't have to worry about voting again.

He's basically saying Christians are self-interested and lazy. They need to be coerced.

Does that mean he intends on being king? Probably, yes.Trump definitely wants to be king. ^_^

I'm curious why he's acting so desperate. I have not seen the Christian right veer much out of Trump's orbit.

Your transcript omits 2 minutes and 20~ seconds of his speech that takes place between the phrase..
"on day 1 I will sign a new executive order to cut Federal funding for any school pushing critical race Theory transgender. insanity and other inappropriate. racial sexual or political content. onto the lives of our children."

and ( 2 minutes 20~ seconds gap)

"..vote early vote absentee vote on Election Day. I don't care how but you have to get out and vote. and again. Christians get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore..."



Here is what's missing in that gap:

thank you it's true save our kids is Right save our kids is right and I you're right thank you and I will not give one
penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate not a penny

under siege Second Amendment it will be fully upheld we will protect innocent life and
we will restore free speech in our country and I will secure our elections

our goal will be as I said one day voting with paper ballots proof of citizenship and a thing called voter ID you know when you negotiate and I do that with a Democrat and I negotiate with them all the time on this but I say look we got to fix our laws on voting we have to start with voter ID everybody has to said no way it just the discussion never even goes any further I say we have to have voter ID it's called voter identification nope we're not going to do it now there's only one reason they do that because they want to cheat there's only one reason anything else you know in their National Convention when they had their convention they have a voter tag on them bigger than their chest depending on who who's which chest we're talking about bigger than the I like this has their name their serial number it's got the whole deal middle name past addresses it's got everything otherwise you can't get into the Democrat National conv ition but with voting one of your most important things you can do maybe in many ways your most important they don't want to approve voter ID that's because they want to cheat but until then Republicans must win we have to win this election most important election ever we want a landslide that's too big to rig if you want to save America get your friends get your family get everyone you know and vote

It's not your fault if you were posting from the video posted by Vambram. There was a gap in the video (see post 32)

He sounds like he's saying: Christians, I know you're not going to get out and vote for me unless you believe it's to your advantage. Trust me, Christians, I'm going to take care of your interests, and then you don't have to worry about voting again.

He's basically saying Christians are self-interested and lazy. They need to be coerced.
You mean like when they offer free Krispy Kreme donuts and Starbucks coffee at church?
Does that mean he intends on being king? Probably, yes.Trump definitely wants to be king. ^_^

I'm curious why he's acting so desperate. I have not seen the Christian right veer much out of Trump's orbit.
I heard there's a rumor Kamala Harris is going to ask Al Sharpton to be her VP.

Those in Matthew 7:21-23 and Matthew 25:1-13 also claimed to be His followers but he never knew them. Even Simon Magi in Acts 8 "believed and was baptized" but his heart was wrong before God. So just because someone says it does not make it so. You shall know them by their fruits.
Simon the sorcerer repented though didn’t he?
