US President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to be ‘heaven-bound’ but doesn’t think he’ll ‘make’ it there.
He spoke about it this week
Trump was asked a question about his August statements regarding his attempts to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine while speaking to the press aboard Air Force One on Sunday, October 12.
While answering, he said, “If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s pretty — I want to try to get to heaven if possible.”
But he doesn’t think he’ll make it
About his previous comments, the 79-year-old President said, per People, “I’m being a little cute.”
“I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in heaven,” he continued. “I really don’t. I think I’m not maybe heaven-bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One.”
He went on about Russia and Ukraine
“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 added.
The President went on to say that ‘had the election of 2020 not been rigged,’ he could’ve prevented the invasion of Ukraine.
Trump blamed the previous administration
“We had an incompetent administration. We had an incompetent president. And because of a crooked election, millions of people are dead,” Trump told the press, referring to former President Joe Biden.
“And by the way, the Israeli thing was much harder to get settled because of the past administration,” he added.
