Trump, 79, admitted to Fox News on Tuesday that he feels he is “at the bottom of the totem pole” regarding his odds of making it to the promised land, leading many to ponder: Why is the president suddenly so hell-bent on making it to the pearly gates?

    If he wants to maximize his chances of seeing Heaven, he should start working towards that now. I would suggest he gives away all his wealth, resigns from any position of power, publicly apologizes for his past misdeeds, and retreats to spend the rest of his days living as a monk in a remote monastery, preferably one where all the brothers take a vow of silence.

      Yeah, he’s more likely to decide he was chosen by God for a mission, botch it while claiming a tremendous success, and declare he has a guaranteed spot at the right of God, if not as his successor.

      All of these overrich believers will stretch their beliefs with no limit until they encompass their whole life and actions. They’re “chosen”.

        Pretty much this, when people with his level of narcissism ‘find god’ it’s always with a self-affirmation bent, that God must want whatever he wants, because he is the best and obviously whatever he wants is, by definition, right.

        If anything, a person might conclude they’ve been too lenient somehow and they need to double down on “their vision” before it’s too late.
