President Donald Trump spoke about heaven for a second time this week, this time fretting over the type of “report card” one might need to gain entry through the Pearly Gates.
“People of faith, there’s a feeling, they wanna be good, y’know? They get punished if they’re not good, right?” he told radio host Todd Starnes.
He also said ― falsely ― that non-religious people have no reason to “be good” since they won’t be punished in an afterlife.
“If you’re not a believer, and you believe you go nowhere, what’s the reason to be good, really?” he said. “There has to be some kind of a report card up there someplace, y’know, like ‘let’s go to heaven, let’s get into heaven.’ It’s sort of a beautiful thing.”
Trump also spoke about getting into heaven earlier in the week ― and didn’t seem optimistic about his chances.
