While crashing a wedding at Mar-a-Lago last week, Trump once again brought up whether he was destined to get to “the good place” — seemingly hoping that a “godly” conservative commentator who was also on the guest list could put in a good word for him.
While attending the nuptials of banker and “patriotic movement” Stormwall founder Mike Wilkerson, Trump saw conservative radio host Eric Metaxas among the crowd and shouted him out to the newlyweds: “He’s going to get me into heaven.”
In the video of the exchange, later shared to Metaxas’ Instagram, the host replied, “I want to talk to him about getting into heaven… but not here. Not here.”
In the text of that post, Metaxas offered some context for why he demurred in the moment: “Last night, at my friend [Wilkerson’s] wedding at Mar-a-Lago, the President showed up. As he walked in, he pointed right at me and joked, ‘This is the guy who’s going to get me to heaven…’ I laughed and told him, ‘I’d really like to talk to you about that… but another time.’ Then I reminded him, ‘Don’t forget—you’re America’s Supercentennial President.’”
“Truthfully, I would love to have that conversation with him one day,” he added. “But this wasn’t the place.”
