WASHINGTON — On October 12, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking aboard Air Force One, confessed that he doubts his salvation and is not sure he would be able "to make it to heaven."

In response to Fox News journalist Peter Doocy, who, according to The Independent, asked whether ending the war between Russia and Ukraine might help him earn a place in heaven, Trump expressed doubts that such a thing could happen:

“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. 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,” Trump said, adding that if the 2020 election had not been “rigged,” millions more lives would have been saved.

Earlier, Trump had said he hoped to bring an end to the conflict in Ukraine and that this effort would count in heaven. However, the American leader now admitted that he does not think "there's anything going to get me in heaven."

The U.S. President was traveling to Israel to sign and celebrate the recently negotiated peace deal between Israel and Hamas.

In honor of Trump’s visit, Israeli rabbis prepared a blessing prayer. In Tel Aviv, the message “Thank you!” appeared written in the sand, visible from his plane, while in Jerusalem billboards have been erected bearing his portrait and the slogan “Cyrus the Great Lives!” The Israeli government also plans to award the American president a medal.

Previously, UOJ reported that Israel and Hamas had finalized plans to launch the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed peace deal for Gaza.
