President Donald Trump is backpedaling on that eyebrow-raising claim about his own afterlife.
Trump stunned many of his Christian constituents last month when, in an interview with Fox News’ Peter Doocy conducted aboard Air Force One, he joked about likely not making it to heaven.
“I think I’m not maybe heaven-bound,” he said at the time. “I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to make heaven, but I’ve made life a lot better for a lot of people.”
Speaking to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham in an interview for “The Ingraham Angle” that aired Monday, Trump insisted he was being tongue-in-cheek when he made that remark before going on to suggest that he still held doubts about his own fate.
“When I made that statement, I was being funny — sarcastic,” the president said. “You know, it’s bad for a politician to be sarcastic ... I was kidding. I was having fun.”
