US President Donald Trump has said that he expects to go to heaven after death, because he considers himself a religious person. He spoke about this in an interview with CBS News on Sunday.

" I hope so. I don’t want to go to hell," the American leader replied when asked if he expects to go to heaven after his death.

During the conversation, the journalist reminded Trump of his speech at the memorial service for the deceased conservative activist Charlie Kirk. At that time, the US president had admitted that he felt hatred for his political opponents and did not wish them well.

The interviewer asked whether the head of the White House would be able to forgive his opponents if this became a necessary condition for going to heaven. Trump answered in the negative, explaining that such a statement would not be sincere.

The American leader called his opponents dishonest people who, in his opinion, have caused significant damage to the US. He emphasized that his love for the US is much stronger than any possible good feelings towards his political opponents.
