President Trump dialed into “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday morning and revealed his newest and truest motivation for brokering an end to the war in Ukraine: He’s worried he might not get into heaven after he dies.

“I want to try and get to heaven, if possible,” he explained. “I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”

lmao?

“I know my mother’s in heaven,” he said at a Madison Square Garden rally in October. “I’m not 100 percent sure about my father, but it’s close.”

lmao, at least he's honest about his dad was who was literally in the KKK.

the bar is not even on the floor; it's buried within the pits of hell

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 76 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If Trump makes it to heaven I’m going to raise an army of the damned in hell and we’re going to invade heaven and kill god. Might do this regardless of where Trump ends up. I guess we’ll see.

[–] corvidenjoyer@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

I thinking liberating Hell if Trump can make it into heaven will take less time then having to invade it first if he can't. trump-enlightened

Now before you go "he's deathly ill lets-fucking-go", remember that old people love nothing more than saying this kind of stuff to ruin the vibes

[–] Saeculum@hexbear.net 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My grandmother starts basically every conversation with "I'll be dead soon". She's perfectly healthy outside of being old and may well outlive me.

Grandmothers are universally the most morbid people possible

Even if he dies, there's plenty of weirdo Hitlerites to replace him.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 63 points 1 week ago

I love how Trump dials into Fox & Friends like it's his personal therapist

He knows he's a pedo tho. Like what the fuck

"Look, I've fucked a lot of child sex slaves over the years, but think about all the money I made thus proving that God favors me! If the big man didn't want me to keep fucking child sex slaves surely he'd have given me some kind of sign or removed my wealth, right?"

he just says the weirdest things. extremely sad that this is the funniest president the US has ever had.

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Idk William Henry Harrison is up there for me with the whole “immediately dying” bit

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That was a great bit, more presidents should do it

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

Yeah I’m a single-issue voter … catgirl-smug

he is pretty funny

"Many Such Cases" is one of the best sayings

[–] nfreak@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 week ago

Absolutely senile and the biggest "yes man" of a puppet to ever sit in that office lmao

Not that that makes him any less of a war criminal as the last 40ish people in the role but w/e

I dont know why he's worried about it. Its very much a sure thing that he will never see paradise, no matter the form.

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 39 points 1 week ago

lol I’m not intending this to be slander against people with narcissistic personality traits; but this is exactly what my mother in law would text my spouse to guilt her into saying “oh but you’re such a nice person!” Not saying all boomers are the same buuuuuuuut

[–] RaisedFistJoker@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago

how lucky for him that there is no heaven and he will never face divine punishment, just like 100% of the bourgeoisie

[–] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 34 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

“I’m hearing I’m not doing well." Like he opened up heaven/.com and saw his Heaven Credit Score is too low.

Edit to break the link just in case its a weird site.

He was visited by three ghosts last night

No, Donald, you were an absolute bastard, now go.

the living embodiment of all seven deadly sins is worried about his place in the afterlife? damn that's wild

I wouldn’t count Trump out just yet. Trump has a WAY more likely chance of getting into Evangelical Heaven than Joe Biden has of getting into Catholic Heaven.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

If I ruled Hell, I would tell them both as soon as they came in that the other one made it to Heaven.

[–] FettermansFinalStroke@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A bit off topic but Justin Scott made a brilliant video (~5min) discussing how the church+colonialism made people afraid they wouldn’t make it into heaven, while that very idea goes against much of what Jesus and god taught. It is well worth a watch whether or not you are Christian.

You know what, sometimes you gotta hand it to em. When he is right he is right.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That bullet pierced his ear real hard huh?

well it was hard to hit anything else really he doesn't have a brain after all

[–] coolusername@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago

I think he was serious about this

[–] Mok98@feddit.it 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trump redemption arc incoming?

[–] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

more likely he'll double down on zionism

[–] CommCat@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

His base is full of rabid Christian Zionists.

Anyways, there's something about a camel and the hole of a needle I've heard Christians talk about...

[–] coolusername@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

If heaven exists I wonder what the mathematics to get in looks like. For example if I know google helps Israel kill civilians and I give google 2.99 a month for more space on google drive (I don't do this btw), does that mean I go to hell? But what if I save the lives of a few people by alerting them that they left their gas stove on?

If Trump has raped 12 minors among many other "sins" but he prevents the deaths of 200,000 Ukranians and 2000 Russians by brokering a peace deal does he go to heaven?

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's something I don't understand about the whole "Jesus forgives all" thesis. Like, if Hitler said he was truly sorry, would they let him into heaven? How is Christ's forgiveness meant to work? (I was raised atheist in an area with not a lot of Xtians so I don't really know how this stuff works.)

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Depends on the sect. Most Protestant sects believe that 'true belief in salvation only coming from the crucification of Jesus Christ' is enough. Others believe in heavenly predestination. And others still believe that you are cleansed during baptism, which occurs when you are an adult, and only everything that you do afterwards counts. Catholics believe that if you do good works, fully confess your sins and perform the assigned penance before you die, you will be forgiven of your sins and go to heaven (or at least reduce your time in purgatory). And it's best to regularly confess, because forgetting you sinned does not save you from it.

[–] JakenVeina@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, yeah, that is pretty much it. It's thst "truly sorry" part that does the heavy lifting. "Sorry I got caught" or "sorry I have to face consequences" isn't gonna cut it. Neither is just saying it. Hitler would have to actually BE sorry, like, on a level of feeling real empathy for everyone he hurt, admitting that he's a fucking monster, and wanting to not be one anymore. Up to you whether you think he's capable of such a thing. He sure wasn't within his lifetime.

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

I mean, I don't necessarily believe that eternal damnation should be the way to go, but it seems fairly nuts that if Hitler genuinely felt bad then that's all it would take for him to get into heaven. Like, he doesn't even have to do any good actions to counteract what he did? Not that it matters to me given that I don't believe in the afterlife but that just seems pretty unbalanced is all

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

You should watch The Good Place. It's all about this lol.

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

if hell exists it's too late. that pig is gonna roast for sure

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

He should be worried. Trump can't have White people dying under his watch if he wants to get into McHeaven, simple as.

Palestine doesn't get factored as a negative in McHeaven points.
