In the video, trump urges people to go out and vote, in which case telling them "just this time" and "you won't have to do it anymore, 4 more years, it will be fixed, it will be fine"

When I watched the video, I saw no malice.

Coincidentally, you omitted the spicy addendum transcribing your own source, making his statement sound ambiguous. Here is what he said after your oddly selective excerpt:

"In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you'll not gonna have to vote."

Telling people that it will be "fixed" so they "won't need to vote" was enough for me

Unlike with Musk's "heart goes to you", if there is some context that can turn this into a benign remark it would have to be truly radical. Any takers?
