“I’m A Religious Person. So In Theory, I Go To Heaven. I Hope So. I Don’t Want To Go To Hell” — Trump

In a remarkably blunt and unfiltered interview on 60 Minutes, President Donald Trump opened up about mortality, faith, and his unyielding stance toward his political adversaries.

Reflecting on his survival of multiple assassination attempts, one of which came very, very close to him, Trump was asked what he thinks happens when he dies, and what he thinks happens to Donald Trump himself, not just his memory.

Trump first said he hopes he is missed, and that he thinks he has done a good job. When pressed on where he goes, he said he is a religious person, so in theory, he goes to heaven. Asked directly if he thinks he is going to heaven, he replied that he hopes so, because he does not want to go to hell.

The conversation then took a sharp turn when the interviewer brought up the memorial service for Charlie Kirk, where Erica Kirk, his widow, gave very moving remarks about Christian forgiveness and how you have to forgive your enemies.

Trump was asked a hypothetical question: if he passes away, enters the next life, and all he has to do to enter paradise is feel love and forgiveness for James Comey, Nancy Pelosi, and anyone he has expressed hate for over the years, could he do it?

Trump rejected the easy, diplomatic answer. He said if he said yes, he would not be real. He said it is not an easy question at all, describing them as extremely dishonest people, very bad people, very bad for the country. He said he loves his country far more than he can love people like that.

When asked directly if the answer is no, Trump admitted it is no. He said he wants to be honest before the judgment throne of God. He said they were very bad people, that he dislikes them, and that he can use the word hate. He said he does hate some of his enemies, that they have been terrible, and pointed to what they put him through, including weaponization.

Asked again if he could not find it in his heart to forgive some of his enemies after all that has been given to him, Trump said it would be such an easy answer to just say yes, he can, but again, he does not think it is an easy answer. He asked to be honest, and said he probably cannot do that, because he does hate some of his enemies and he always will.
