The Mango Mussolini must be feeling his mortality. Remember back in August, when he said he hoped helping end the war between Ukraine and Russia would help boost his chances of getting into heaven.

"I wanna try and get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons."

Well, today he sounded even more pessimistic: Donald Trump Says He Doesn't Think He's 'Heaven-Bound' After Fundraising for Help Getting There:

Speaking to press aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Oct. 12, the president, 79, answered a question about his August statements regarding his attempts to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine — during which he said, "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."

"I'm being a little cute," Trump told reporters on Sunday about his previous comments, before quipping, "I don't think there's anything going to get me in heaven."

"I really don't. I think I'm not maybe heaven-bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One," he continued. "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."

He got most of that right, but he’s still delusional if he honestly thinks he “made life a lot better for a lot of people." Unless by “people” he means billionaires and White Supremacists.

In August, he even tried this as a fundraising gimmick: Donald Trump Asks Supporters for Donations to Help Him 'Get to Heaven'. Shades of Oral Roberts and Pat Robertson! (I would donate if he would agree to go there tomorrow.)

All this musing about mortality makes one wonder if that — six-month early — annual checkup actually found something different from the claim that Trump in ‘exceptional health’ after Walter Reed visit, doctor says. Heaven certainly seems to be on his mind a lot these days.
