Vote for me even if you’re dying says Trump
DONALD Trump said voters should drag themselves to the polls to help make him president again even if they are dying.
He said people who are as “sick as a dog” should fight to plant their crosses in his box. Even if they “passed away” shortly after voting for Trump it would be “worth it”, he said.
The businessman is facing his first major election test in his bid to return to the White House when voters go to the polls in the Iowa caucus to help find the Republican candidate for the presidency.
He told an eve-of-election rally in Indianola: “You can’t stay at home. [Even] if you’re sick as a dog and you say, ‘Darling I can’t make it’. Even if you vote and then pass away it’s worth it.’’ The former president attacked the New York judge who had denied him a delay in his civil trial so he could attend his mother-in-law’s funeral.
Trump described Lewis A Kaplan as “the worst judge in the country”.
He said: “My wife’s mother, who was an incredible woman of great beauty inside and out, she just died. And my wife is very devastated by that.
“And I have a trial going on, a fake trial, a totally fake trial.
“And we asked the judge if I could take a day off for the funeral of my mother-in-law, who is very close to me also. And he said, ‘No’. These are animals. Can you imagine that? He said ‘No, we can’t have a day off ’. These are bad people. I don’t think that people are going to fall for it.
“But think of that. My wife was going to be standing at the funeral of her mother who is a very special woman.
“She’s supposed to stand there alone.’’
Trump vowed to be at the funeral “one way or another”.
Polls have the former president favourite to secure the Republican nomination for another run at the White House.
