US President Donald Trump has said he hopes to go to heaven after death, describing himself as a religious person while expressing concern about the possibility of going to hell.
“I’m a religious person, so in theory I go to heaven,” Trump said during an interview with CBS News, discussing his thoughts about what happens after death.
“I don’t want to go to hell,” he added.
The remarks came during a conversation about death, religion and how Trump believes he would be remembered after his lifetime.
Trump’s comments were part of an interview with CBS News journalist Ross Douthat, who also questioned the president about his ability to forgive political opponents.
The discussion touched on Trump’s previous remarks about hating his political enemies and whether forgiveness was necessary for someone hoping to enter heaven.
