U.S. President Donald Trump told CBS’s 60 Minutes that he would never forgive certain political opponents, even if his refusal could keep him out of heaven. The comments were made during an interview with correspondent Ross Douthat, in which Trump said he hopes to reach heaven but does not want to go to hell.
When Douthat asked whether Trump believed he would be admitted to heaven, the president replied that he hopes so, adding that his desire to avoid hell was a priority. The conversation then shifted to remarks Trump made at the funeral of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, where he said he “hated his opponents” and did not wish them well.
Douthat pressed Trump on whether he could forgive people he has publicly criticized, specifically former FBI Director James Comey and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Trump described both as “extremely dishonest people” and “very bad people” who had harmed the United States, and answered the forgiveness question with a firm “The answer is no. I want to be honest.”
Trump justified his stance by citing ongoing legal battles, including indictments and impeachment proceedings, which he said have left him “weaponized.” He reiterated, “I do hate some of my enemies. I think they’ve been terrible. Look what they’ve put me through.”
Concluding the interview, Trump maintained that his inability to forgive would not change, stating, “I probably cannot do that, no, because I do hate some of my enemies and I always will,” even if it meant missing out on heaven.
