Donald Trump’s presidential pledge included ending international conflicts.
The crisis in the Middle East seems to have subsided, but Russia’s war in Ukraine continues.
Trump had great expectations of entering paradise in August. He was certain that putting a stop to the conflict in Ukraine would secure him a place behind the pearly gates.
“I want to try to get to heaven, if possible,” Donald Trump said.
“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,” he added, explaining his efforts to broker a deal between Ukraine and Russia.
On Monday, en route Israel, ahead of the handing over of the first Israeli hostages, the US president had a different view about his eternal destination.
When a reporter reminded Donald Trump that he once said brokering a Ukrainian peace deal could earn him a place in eternity and asked whether the Gaza agreement would suffice, he replied with a chuckle: “I’m being a little cute, I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in heaven.
“I think I’m maybe not heaven-bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. 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.”
Donald Trump reiterated his assertion that “had the election of 2020 not been rigged,” he could have stopped the Russian invasion.
“I knew Putin very well, I was the apple of his eye. All the things that I’ve said never would have happened,” he added.
