Trump's week in review: Questions salvation; Knesset speech; Charlie Kirk gets Medal of Freedom
1. Trump says he probably won't go to Heaven
As the president traveled to Israel on Sunday, a reporter asked him if he thought his negotiation of a peace deal in the Middle East between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas would help him "get into Heaven." The question reflected Trump's previous insistence that ending the Russia-Ukraine war might help him receive eternal salvation.
Trump struck a different tone when speaking to reporters on Air Force One.
"I don't think there's anything going to get me in Heaven," he said. "I think I'm maybe not Heaven-bound. I may be in Heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make Heaven."
While many prominent Christians expressed concern about Trump's implication that he will not make it to Heaven, White House Faith Office Director Jenny Korn offered a different take on his remarks during a speech at the Museum of the Bible on Tuesday.
"The president has his own language, and I look at it, and I know his language, it was humility," she insisted.
