President Donald Trump raised eyebrows when he admitted to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Israel on Sunday that he's "not sure I’m going to be able to make heaven," prompting considerable mockery online.

Trump's remarks came just a couple of months after he sparked considerable ridicule by telling the press that bringing about an end to the war in Ukraine may help him with getting "to heaven." At the time, he said that if he successfully ends the war, "this will be one of the reasons" why he ends up there.


And last week, he also referenced heaven when he said "I want to be good because you want to prove to God you’re good so you go to that next step."

But he sang a slightly different tune in his response to Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy about how a brokered peace deal between Israel and Hamas—the reason for the flight—could help him with that goal:

“I mean, I’m being a little cute. I don’t think there’s anything gonna get me in heaven, I really don’t… 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 better for a lot of people.”

You can hear what he said in the video below.

Considering people are being torn from their families as part of his immigration crackdown, he is preparing to send troops into American cities, he's prosecuting political opponents, and he's used the ongoing government shutdown to slash key government agencies—including gutting the office responsible for overseeing special education at the Department of Education—many would disagree with Trump's claim that he's "made life better for a lot of people.”

Many have called him out.


Is this the most honest thing Trump has ever said? It might be.

CNN Just Visited A Struggling MAGA Store—And It Spells Bad News For Trump

CNN correspondent Elle Reeve returned to Whitey Taylor's Trump Town USA in Boones Mill, Virginia, for the first time since visiting in 2023, and her segment shows that business for the Donald Trump-themed shop has collapsed as more MAGA followers break away from the president.

Reeve, in a segment for Anderson Cooper 360, reported that "things aren't what they used to be" for the store. She spoke with Taylor, who revealed that the store, which used to make $12,000 to $15,000 in sales per day now only makes between $1,500 - $2,000 per day. On occasion, Taylor will hit $3,000 in sales if he's lucky.

JD Vance Blasted After Sharing His Absolutely Mind-Numbing Definition Of 'Socialism'

According to Merriam-Webster, socialism broadly refers to economic and political systems centered on collective or government ownership and control of the means of production.

Not exactly a concept requiring a Ph.D. to explain. One would think Vice President JD Vance, a Yale Law School graduate whose party practically uses the word as punctuation, could manage a working definition.
