He blew his chances decades ago. And he's just now concerned about it? Gimme a friggin break.
I just sit here and shake my head, trying to think of how he comes up with this toopid, ignorant, uneducated shit.
Unbelievable!!!!!

(2,713 posts)This is dog-whistling to his evangelical base, pretending like he believes in 'heaven' like they do. So there's that motivation, and also what he really wants to see is an outpouring of social media posts by people slurping his junk and exclaiming "If YOU are not going to Heaven Mr. Trump, NOBODY WILL
" and the similar slavish obsequiousness that his fragile, child-like ego demands a constant supply of.

(31,192 posts)This generally means male power, of course.
Dumpy may not believe in the traditional sense that most prople practicing a religion understand, that is humbling oneself and performing actions or thoughts they believe show submission to some higher power, but he is likely becoming increasingly desperate for anyone at all who will promise him more bites of the proverbial apple.
You wont find him going to a church that tells him about things like loving his enemy or being kind to a stranger, but why should he? Most people who practice religion absolutely do shop for the tax-free house of worship that tells them the things they like to hear, the way they like to hear it. In that way, hes no different. So, you will find him looking for cheat codes. People who tell him as long as he just says he believes, he will live forever! Yay! Thats his speed. Lazy. Heaven for dummies. No improvement needed. Thats what he wants to hear.

(4,910 posts)The "I want to go to heaven" coupled with the false humility of "I don't think that I'm doing so well" is straight out of the evilgelical hymnbook.

(60,765 posts)If his number one goal was to go to heaven, he would think of the parable of the lost sheep, where when he returned to the cold, there was more rejoicing than for the 99 who never went astray.
He would need to seriously change his ways
A good start would be to undue most of his executive orders, tell ICE to stand down, push to put back whatever he could to provide food and other needs for people, and try to fix the problems he created in healthcare. Now, if he did all this, it is likely Vance and his cabinet would stop him with the 25th amendment!
On a person level, he would have to confess to God his sins and resolve to change.
Personally, I doubt he really sees how bad he is and at 78 he is unlikely to turn over a new leaf

(13 posts)It's never too late for anyone to seek God's forgiveness and grace. Even the thief on the cross received unmerited mercy because he finally understood the truth.
No one can judge what is truly within the human heart. Is it possible that having been spared in Butler caused a recalibration of DJT's spiritual outlook? God's providence does that to people, even the most broken and failed of us. I know that what we all saw that day altered the 2024 presidential campaign dynamics.
I would imagine that such a dramatic event would have profound effects upon a person's soul. It feels wrong to gainsay a man's profession of newly found awareness. If it's a cynical expression of faith, God is aware of it. He is the author of every story. And He gets the ultimate say.
As always, my two cents.

At least thats how I understand it works.

He knows his time is limited.
Thats the best thing each and everyone of us can take from this.

How can someone that talks this shit, a moron that has no clue as to what he is saying, run a country of 330M people? Answer: He can't. What was he hoping to accomplish? Cluelessness?
I certainly see a rough 3+ more years.

(12,335 posts)since I wrote my little King Ubu( Faustian) fusion play in the Writing forum. I wanted it to go well for him there but it looks like in real life he is just not getting it either. I wish him luck, I suppose. 10 billion years in Purgatory wouldn't be all that bad, but we need some honest conversion/contrition first.
