President Donald Trump prompted concern among some of his Christian supporters for comments he made over the weekend, suggesting he doesn’t believe he’s going to Heaven.
“I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in Heaven,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday on his way to Israel to sign a peace deal ending the war in Gaza. “I think I’m maybe not 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.” Trump was responding to a question that asked if brokering peace in the Middle East could help him “get into Heaven,” which was a reference to comments he made in August that prompted a flurry of theological debate when he appeared to claim that ending the Russia-Ukraine war could help determine his eternal state.
