U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he believes that helping negotiate an end to the Ukraine-Russia war might help him get to Heaven.
Trump called into the Fox News program "Fox & Friends" for a phone interview on Tuesday morning, one day after he hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders at the White House as part of the ongoing efforts to end the war in Ukraine, which began with Russia's invasion in 2022.
The president provided updates on efforts to end the war. He lamented the toll it was taking on the lives of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers as well as civilians residing in both countries.
Trump maintained that ending the war could "save 7,000 people a week from being killed."
"I want to try and get to Heaven if possible," the 79-year-old said. "I'm hearing I'm not doing well."
"I hear I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to Heaven, this will be one of the reasons," he said, referring to securing a hypothetical end to the Ukraine-Russia conflict that he would play a part in negotiating.

My first thought was that he might very well be joking. But, then it occurred to me that he might believe what he said. Not sure if he was joking or not. I hope he knows that we can’t buy our way into, heaven.
You don’t get into heaven by works.
Don’t Stop Believin’!
I think he was facetiously answering those who act like he’s irredeemable because of adultery, mean tweets, or whatever. If they’re going to make everything about whether he’s a good guy or not, then they should recognize that saving lives is a bit more significant than mean tweets.
Works won’t get you there period. At all.
Would anyone rather be said I’m going to hell anyways so might as well start WWIII?
He was being facetious.
Jehovah’s Witnesses say only 144,000 will go to Heaven. It is easier to get into an Ivy League.
Blessed be the peacemakers! Its a good start on the road to Heaven. Trump is doing the Lords work, that is why he was saved from assassin’s bullets. The hand of God rests on his shoulders. He has only started to bring America to God.
I’m just here to read the posts
First heard of Trump ref: {year of 1986} Wollman Ice Skating Rink.
You would have to be a professional idiot, not to know this was tongue-in-cheek.
Oh, wait their are a lot of people who haven't a "F-ing" clue of the phrase "In A NEW YORK MINUTE."
lol. if i didn’t know better, i’d say you were purposely trying to needle and goad the legion of FR theologists.
but as for President Trump, i’d keep remembering that day in Butler, Mr President. just keep remembering that day; just make good on all the things you want to do, now, given that you have this borrowed time; and keep thanking Him for that day. i certainly do.
By their fruits we shall know them, we are told, and this is certainly true for American Presidents.
From observing him over time, by his actions, by his fruits, by his works, I submit that President Trump appreciates that he has been given/granted great power and authority and he understands that to those whom much has been given, much is required.
From observing him, whatever his motivations might be, I do think he’s trying, I do think he is aware that life is a placement test for the afterlife and I strongly believe that we, the people, are blessed to have been given such a leader at such a critical time.
That could be. He does like,to do that

Amen, well said! We certainly are blessed to be living through his lresidency. he is a once in a century presiddnt for sure. We’ve had good ones, but none in recent history even come close to what he has done! He’s ended what. Like 6 wars now? So many things to be thankful for!

Whether Trump ends up in heaven or hell is unknown.
However, I’m very confident he’ll “make the best deal” possible wherever he ends up.
That’s How Orange Man Rolls.
Trump knows Ukraine is nearly finished.
Zelinski committed his reserves that were designated to defend Kiev if Russia attempted to attack there, in their six brigade (battalions) pulled from all over the front and from cities. This is confirmed by Ukrainian sources.
Kursk was the disaster that resulted in the destruction of most of Ukraine’s strategic reserves. The final package, consisting of primarily AZOV, was committed as Putin was headed to Alaska.
As long as Trump sells weapons that are destined for Ukraine he will have blood on his hands. Maybe all US presidents must have blood on their hands since we have been in the business of wars, NATO expansion, and coups for 35 years since Bill Clinton started the entire War, Inc. on steriods.
God wants a man who will talk straight to those who he leads, such as the EUropeans. However, Trump desires only worldly things such as the adoration of the those EU leaders who he courts them so they will like him. God wants a man who will not focus of discredited allocades such as the Noble Peace Prize, which Obama got for being elected - why on Earth or Heaven would anyone in a God purposed state of mind seek such recognition.
Trump wants to go to Heaven so maybe he had better get a handle on transporting the Gazan’s out of Israel, and stop the weapons flow. This will require a hard choice, being that only functioning area of the US economy is the military industrial complex, which like the auto and heath care industires were taken over with government interventions and policy dollars.
Seeking fake communist given Noble Peace Prizes and seeking the Love of his fellow politicans is now the way. The way is hard, and it requires honesty and not equivacation, nor deviation form the path of righteousness.
Trump should have never sought the US Presidency a first or second time if he was intent on working his way to Heaven, without peace in his heart, because his desire for the second presidency was revenge first.
No president can make the decisions necessary for the country to find himself in Heaven - simply stated Trump is almost as responsible as Obama or Biden for the arms buildup in Ukraine.
Trump even lies about the death toll in Ukraine - were Trump to stop the lies and start telling the truth, Americans would be shocked but they would then support his efforts to find peace. For everyday Americans it is more simple and they don’t want their hard earned dollars or those printed which they pay the interest going to wars.
