Trump Says He Won’t Forgive Enemies for Heaven


In a 60 Minutes interview with Ross Douthat, President Donald Trump said he hopes to go to heaven but does not expect to forgive political opponents such as James Comey and Nancy Pelosi, adding that he hates some of his enemies and always will. The exchange referenced Christian forgiveness remarks by Erika Kirk at a memorial for her husband, Charlie Kirk, and Trump’s own comments there about hating his opponents. Discussing Republicans’ midterm losses, Trump cited the Iran war, higher gasoline prices and other factors, while defending his approach to the war. He acknowledged his deportation policy may have been too tough and suggested possible cooperation with Democrats on immigration, but made no clear commitment to a broader policy shift.

Trump's admission that the immigration crackdown might have been too tough could explain some of the Republican losses beyond just gas prices.
Trump holding grudges against Comey and Pelosi while admitting he hates them clashes with his past talk about faith and heaven.
