Trump Seems Very Concerned About The ‘Report Card’ Needed To Get Into Heaven

US President Donald Trump spoke about heaven for a second time this week, this time fretting over the type of “report card” one might need to gain entry through the Pearly Gates.

“People of faith, there’s a feeling, they wanna be good, y’know? They get punished if they’re not good, right?” he told radio host Todd Starnes.

He also said – falsely – that non-religious people have no reason to “be good” since they won’t be punished in an afterlife.

“If you’re not a believer, and you believe you go nowhere, what’s the reason to be good, really?” he said. “There has to be some kind of a report card up there someplace, y’know, like ‘let’s go to heaven, let’s get into heaven.’ It’s sort of a beautiful thing.”

Trump also spoke about getting into heaven earlier in the week – and didn’t seem optimistic about his chances.

“I want to try and get to heaven if possible,” Trump confessed during a Fox News interview. “I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I hear I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole.”

Trump said brokering a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine might seal the deal for him.

“If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons,” he said.

But so far, Trump – who last year said he could end the war in 24 hours – hasn’t had much success.

In the new interview, Trump also claimed religion is “coming back” under his administration.

“Religion’s coming back, and religion brings our country together,” he said. “All religions. A lot of religions. I mean, some I could question, I guess, to be honest with you, a little rough philosophy there. But religion brings our country together and it’s a great thing.”

JD Vance Opens Up About His ‘Very Close’ DC Friendships

There’s apparently a bromance brewing in the Capitol, and it involves JD Vance.

“I mean, I have a lot of good friends,” Vance said. “The weird thing is, you say it’s one person and then fundamentally that’s an insult to other people.”

After beating around the bush, Vance named Secretary of State Marco Rubio as someone he’s “very close” to, adding that Rubio is a “great friend” of his. He continued to say that Rubio is doing a “great job” in his current position.

Vance didn’t stop there. He then named Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, whom Vance also says is “doing a great job” in his role. Unlike Rubio, Vance and Hegseth’s friendship recently shared a pivotal experience: the two were among those who were booed and heckled during their walk through Union Station, where Vance thanked the National Guard for their service.

“The DC swamp tried to destroy Pete Hegseth, unlike anybody in the administration,” Vance claimed regarding the former Fox News host. “Whenever I see the worst people in the world try to tear a guy down, that makes me think he’s on our side.”

Kayleigh McEnany Counsels Ex-Boss Trump On His Path To Victory Over Biden

Fox NewsKayleigh McEnany said on Sunday that Donald Trump must adopt a more appeasing tone and choose a fitting running mate to beat President Joe Biden. (Watch the video below.)

McEnany, who’s been accused of telling many lies on Trump’s behalf when she was the former president’s press secretary, praised remarks he made in New Hampshire earlier in the day, saying they were delivered with a “conciliatory tone”.

After GOP rival Ron DeSantis quit the race, the criminally indicted Trump praised the Florida governor’s campaign and said he appreciated his endorsement (as lukewarm as DeSantis’ words may have seemed). He also said he would retire his “Ron DeSanctimonious” nickname.

“That was a conciliatory tone,” McEnany said of Trump’s comments on The Big Weekend Show, which she co-hosts. “That reminds me of his victory speech in Iowa where he praised his opponents, praised his rivals. That’s the kind of tone he will need for the next nine months if he wants to prevail against Joe Biden.”

McEnany suggested Trump’s base will vote for him no matter what, so he has to muster support from other sources ― and that includes voters for his remaining GOP adversary, Nikki Haley.

“I think he [Trump] gets the DeSantis voter both in the primary and the general,” McEnany said. “The DeSantis voter tends to be a traditional conservative person of faith, and that naturally translates to Donald Trump. Where I think his challenge is both here and going forward into a general election, is winning over the Nikki Haley voter, winning over the establishment voter, winning over the independent, which is why I think that vice presidential pick is so important.”

“You must pick someone who helps to bring in that bloc because I believe the conservatives, the base, is going to come home, show up, rain or shine,” she continued. “You need the independent, you need the suburban women. You need that tone.”

A new CNN poll conducted before DeSantis’ departure showed Trump with an 11-point lead over Haley in New Hampshire’s primary on Tuesday. DeSantis pulled in just 6% of the vote.

Trump has said he already decided on a running mate but on Saturday he suggested his choice wasn’t so ironclad. He told Fox News that his selection has a “25% chance” of being the person he actually taps as his potential vice president.
