Heaven weighs heavily on Trump’s mind despite claiming doing good works

“I’m being a little cute. I don’t think there’s anything [that’s] going to get me in heaven. Okay, I really don’t. I think I’m not maybe heaven-bound.
“I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make heaven, but I’ve made life a lot better for a lot of people” – Trump.
It’s no secret that getting into heaven has been on the 79-year-old president’s mind. In August, Trump told Fox News that he had personal motivations to put an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, which he previously claimed he could end on day one of his second term.
“If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s a pretty – I want to try and get to heaven if possible,” he said at the time.
“I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I hear I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole. If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”
Days later, Trump formalized his pearly gates campaign on paper by blasting a fundraising email that opened with the line, “Friend, I want to try and get to Heaven.”
His bizarre philosophical musings reemerged last week when he told reporters in a rambling press conference that he wanted to be good “because you wanna prove to God you’re good so you go to that next step” – FOX News.

Heaven is now weighing heavily on the mind of Donald Trump at 79 but he seems to have come to terms with his sins by expressing doubt he would ever be allowed to pass through the pearly gate to Heaven even though he claims to be doing some good works at home and abroad on earth.
The United States President previously disclosed to reporters that he does not approach God to seek forgives and reiterated during the memorial service for slain Charlie Kirk last month that he does not forgive his enemies.
The Daily Beast reports that Trump didn’t appear optimistic about his prospects in the afterlife as he spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, days after he lost his long-running bid to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy checked in on Trump’s push to secure a seat in heaven after he rushed to lock down an Israel-Hamas peace deal ahead of the highly anticipated Nobel Prize announcement last week.
“I mean, you know, I’m being a little cute,” Trump said. “I don’t think there’s anything [that’s] going to get me in heaven. Okay? I think I’m not maybe heaven-bound.”
“I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make heaven, but I’ve made life a lot better for a lot of people.”
Per FOX News, it’s no secret that getting into heaven has been on [Trump’s] mind. In August, [he] told Fox News that he had personal motivations to put an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, which he previously claimed he could end on day one of his second term.
“If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s a pretty – I want to try and get to heaven if possible,” he said at the time.

His bizarre philosophical musings reemerged last week when he told reporters in a rambling press conference that he wanted to be good “because you wanna prove to God you’re good so you go to that next step.”
Trump has repeatedly claimed that the failed assassination attempts on him last year were God’s way of fulfilling his greater destiny.
Since his return to the White House, Trump has regularly pushed Christianity to the forefront by signing policies aimed at “eradicating anti-Christian bias” and dedicating one hour a week to “praying for our country.”
MAGAworld’s crusade against anti-Christian sentiment took center stage last month in the wake of the shooting of Charlie Kirk, a close Trump ally and devout evangelical. Trump and several administration officials hailed Kirk as a martyr in dark eulogies delivered in Arizona.
Trump’s campaign to get into heaven goes beyond brokering peace deals. Ever the businessman, he also hawks $99 “God Bless the USA” Bibles that are made in China.
Trump’s background
FOX News adds that while Trump did not give neither details nor examples on why he’s skeptical of his chances of being “heaven-bound,” it goes without saying that the 79-year-old has lived a very controversial life.
Trump became the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a felony – as jurors in New York found him guilty of all 34 charges in the so-called “hush money case.”
He was arrested in an alleged scheme to pay hush money to women, including former adult video star Stormy Daniels. The alleged 2006 sexual encounter came as Trump was married at the time to Melania Trump.
The timing of the alleged sexual encounter also came just months after the couple’s son Barron was born.
In life outside the Oval Office and long before his first presidential term, Trump is a father of five and prior to marrying Melania, he had married Ivana Zelníčková and Marla Maples.
As for charitable endeavors, Trump founded the Donald J. Trump Foundation in the late 1980s and was president of the nonprofit organization until he was sworn into office in January 2017.
The foundation was forced to shut down in late 2018 and Trump was ordered by a judge to pay $2 million to settle lawsuit accusing him of misusing funds, a PBS report from 2019 said.
