"This November 6 election is very much a referendum on not only me, it's a referendum on your religion, it's a referendum on free speech and the First Amendment. It's a referendum on so much," Trump told the assemblage of pastors and other Christian leaders gathered in the State Dining Room, according to a recording from people in the room.
"It's not a question of like or dislike, it's a question that they will overturn everything that we've done and they will do it quickly and violently. And violently. There is violence. When you look at Antifa -- these are violent people," Trump said, describing what would happen should his voters fail to cast ballots. "You have tremendous power. You were saying, in this room, you have people who preach to almost 200 million people. Depending on which Sunday we're talking about."
Evangelicals have provided a solid block of support for Trump, even amid the scandals involving alleged sexual affairs. After news of those purported encounters emerged, his standing among white evangelicals did not slip. But inviting the leaders to the White House only days after the President was newly implicated by his longtime personal lawyer's guilty plea underscored the degree to which Trump is trying to keep his supporters on his side....

That’s true.
But Trump is not going to lose any support what with the way the dems and liberals are going full out socialist.
Pres. Trump is driving home the message, “If they hate me, they hate you who elected me even worse. Govern yourselves accordingly.”
CCW numbers continue to grow. If you support PDJT, then be prepared to defend yourself and your friends.
I will be sending in my THL renewal tomorrow morning.
They will go scorched earth on America. They will do so much damage, that our heads will spin and the system will possibly collapse. Obama had a crisis a week and impeachable offenses galore. Many of his people are still in government. They are still very entrenched and they will refill the swamp and any wall will be underfunded.
Notice how the headline and internet propagandists who run with this stuff make it seem as if Trump is saying conservatives will become violent if they lose, when he did not say or imply that at all.
Of course, the CNN headline makes it sound like Trump is threatening violence if the GOP loses.
Slime.

Yes. And NBC did it too.
Honestly, I didn't take it that way at all. I read it and understood it literally, and immediately got PDJT's meaning.
I don't think too many people (who aren't already deranged) will read it as you say. Of course the deranged TDS people will go nonlinear if PDJT says "good morning." They'll hear "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer!"
It’s important to keep in mind that President Trump has achieved his amazing accomplishments (fulfilled promises) in the face of the implacable opposition of the Democrap Party and a few RINOs. What would he have done with more support?
It’s not the already-deranged people who read it as much as the already-deranged people who wrote it.
No doubt in my mind that CNN wanted their deranged audience of headline-skimmers to think Trump was advocating violence.
BUMP
I’m afraid I thought that was the intended inference of the headline. I didn’t for a moment think it was true though.
My cynicism of the press is only exceeded by their mendacity.
