President Donald Trump thinks his odds of going to heaven are bad. Well, that’s what he said during a phone conversation with Fox News. But don’t fret! The 79-year-old said he has a plan to get him closer to those Pearly Gates, and no, it has nothing to do with his Washington, D.C. takeover or the Epstein files…

On Tuesday (Aug. 20), Trump appeared on “Fox & Friends” and got surprisingly deep about efforts he’s made during his second term. At the top of his agenda remains brokering a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, who have been at war for nearly a decade. But his real motivation for “saving lives” in Eastern Europe is more Biblical than you can imagine.
“If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s pretty — I want to try to get to heaven if possible,” Trump told Fox. Over one million people — mostly soldiers — have been killed since the war began in 2014, according to the Guardian. Trump stepped in between the two countries to play mediator at the beginning of 2025. And for him, ending the war is also about making good with the Lord.
“I’m hearing that I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole,” he continued to the hosts, who all began laughing. “But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons,” the president said. Despite the joking nature of Trump’s declaration, it seems he’s pretty serious about getting into heaven.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later said in briefing that Trump probably wasn’t joking. “I think the president was serious,” she said. “I think the president wants to get to heaven– as I hope we all do in this room as well.”
To his credit, Trump has met with both Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in hopes of getting a peace deal. As we all know, however, Zelenskyy’s trip to the White House went anything but according to plan.
In the meantime, Trump is also trying to secure a Nobel Peace Prize, which he has been complaining about not having since 2019, Vanity Fair reported. “They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize,” Trump said during a recent meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “It’s too bad. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me.”
