The internet was set ablaze — no pun intended — after President Donald Trump’s recent revelation about his plans for the afterlife. Months ago, he explained exactly how he’s getting right with Jesus Christ and going to heaven. But now, he’s announced there’s probably no hope of him reaching the pearly gates.

While in route to broker a ceasefire deal ending the two-year war between Israel and Hamas, Trump told reporters he’s given up on his dream of playing golf with Jesus. As the president explains it, not even the peace deal will secure his spot in heaven.
“I mean, I’m being a little cute. I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in heaven,” the 79-year-old said. “I think I’m not maybe heaven-bound… I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make heaven, but I’ve made life a lot better for a lot of people.”
As you can expect, Trump’s revelation surely triggered mixed and hilarious responses from Black folks online. @ProfJeffries celebrated the president’s words on X saying, “Finally, we agree on something!”
“I know his hands were sizzling when he held Bibles,” @ABitOfKwansLife tweeted. She was referring to the president holding up the Bible for a photo op back in 2020. The spectacle drew mixed reviews from church leaders and politicians nation-wide.
Other folks like @se7ensinz_ said they’re praying Trump gets right with the Lord. “Praying to the Absolute Lord Jesus Christ to find Trump ASAP,” he tweeted. “His Will be done, always.”
“All the evangelicals in America voted for a guy who thinks hes going to hell,” @whuabz said. We previously told you all about MAGA’s close proximity to — and sometimes obsession with — Christianity. Trump’s admission might pose a problem for religious MAGA supporters, who previously deemed him the new Messiah.
@anAhmedSalah called the president out for allegedly faking his faith. “You can tell his least favourite part of campaigning was pretending to care about Christianity,” they tweeted.
“The fact that he’s okay with not going to heaven should be a wake-up call for every conservative Christian,” @JoshJay990 said on X.
@planetclarke called Trump “the antichrist” and pointed out the hypocrisy of his supporters buying his merch “like the mark of the beast.”
Still, many users refused to judge the president. “I don’t know if he’s destined for heaven or hell; no one knows,” @ChidiNwatu began. “But one thing is clear: wherever Epstein is, that is where Trump is going.”
@resergent called the president’s revelation the “most self aware statement Trump has ever made.”
Many users had little patience or sympathy for the president’s words. “Therefore go to hell.. today,” @TypicalFarrah wrote.
“Well atleast he knows Hell is waiting for his past and future transgressions,” @BackKing2018 tweeted.
@x_facts_matter said Americans should be paying closer attention to the timing of Trump’s admission. “I need you all to put two and two together. He only makes these statements after visiting his doctors. [Think] about it,” they wrote.
The president’s health has been a hot topic of discussion ever since he returned to the White House. Because he’s the oldest U.S. president in history, bipartisan leaders have raised concerns about his mental and physical capacity. Trump, however, insists he’s the healthiest he’s ever been.
@king_james5501 said the president should reevaluate who he gets his religious advice from. “He has the wrong faith advisor. [Senior Advisor to the White House Faith Office] Paula White doesn’t know the gospel,” he tweeted.
Others like @Ok_kev said Trump and “EVERYONE who participated in the distribution and misinformation campaign” will be properly judged “one way or another.”
