Leave it to President Donald J. Trump to make theology, politics, and common sense collide at 30,000 feet. On Sunday, while flying to Israel aboard Air Force One — yes, his Air Force One, not the apology tour bus his successor rides — Trump shared a few candid thoughts about heaven, the 2020 election, and the chaos that’s followed ever since.
When Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked if helping broker the Hamas–Israel ceasefire might improve his chances of getting into heaven, Trump smirked and said:
“I mean, you know, I’m being a little cute. I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in heaven. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One.”
Classic Trump — honest, witty, and refreshingly human. Sure, the man’s not pretending to be a saint, but at least he’s not playing God like some politicians we know.
Then, with his usual candor, Trump pivoted to what’s really been on his mind: the rigged 2020 election — and how the world’s suffering today because of it.
“Had the election of 2020 not been rigged,” he said, “you would have millions of people living — just in Russia and Ukraine alone. That war would have never happened.”
He’s right, of course. There were no new wars under Trump — not in Europe, not in the Middle East. The world was stable, America was respected, and our enemies thought twice before making a move. Now? We’ve got chaos, weakness, and “incompetence,” as Trump bluntly put it.
“We had an incompetent administration, we had an incompetent president, and because of a crooked election, millions of people are dead,” he said.
Hard to argue when you look at the body count, the broken economies, and the global instability that erupted once Trump was forced out of office by the so-called “most secure election in history.”
He even pointed out how the previous administration’s failures made the Israel peace deal harder to achieve — because cleaning up other people’s messes has basically become Trump’s hobby.
This wasn’t the first time Trump has joked about his heavenly prospects. Back in August, he told Fox & Friends that ending the war in Ukraine might “help him get to heaven,” before quipping that he’s “really at the bottom of the totem pole.” Only Trump could turn a conversation about salvation into a sharp commentary on global leadership — and somehow make you laugh while nodding in agreement.
So whether or not he’s “heaven-bound,” one thing’s for sure: Trump’s been raising hell for all the right reasons — peace, strength, and truth. And if defending those gets you a few points with the Big Guy upstairs, something tells me Trump’s seat in the afterlife might be first class.
