All he had to say is Trump must atone for his sins(like every sinner) believe in Jesus as his lord and savior and he will get in(True repentance)

Not quite. Jesus atoned for our sins.

We can receive a pardon for our sins by accepting Christ's sacrificial atonement (propitiation).

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. (Romans 3:23-26)

I do not want to atone for my sin. That would mean spending eternity in torment in the law of fire.

I believe what I mentioned (believe in Jesus as his lord and savior) covers “atone for our sins”.

I’m not a pastor. So my words aren’t exactly “Ready for Sunday morning service” and my ability to quote scripture is woefully inadequate but it in the right direction.

As a layman I’ll put my “preaching” up to Samantha Bee’s pastor any day.
