"Can I have a pledge, a swearing?" Donald Trump asked at a Florida rally. "Raise your right hand."

Donald Trump led supporters in a pledge of allegiance — to him.

"Who likes me in this room?" Trump asked. "I do solemnly swear ... that I, no matter how I feel, no matter what the conditions, will vote on or before the 12th for Donald J. Trump for president."

The Trump pledge worried longtime Anti-Defamation League Director Abraham Foxman.

"I am a Holocaust survivor, and this made me quiver," Foxman said.
