Trump: “I’m a religious person who wants to go to heaven—and I hate some of my political enemies intensely.”

Following his devastating loss in the 2026 midterm elections, Donald Trump sat for his first formal interview on November 9. During the conversation, he admitted he “hates” certain enemies—so much so that “not even God’s judgment could make me forgive them.” Speaking about death and heaven, he affirmed he is a religious person who longs to enter heaven and fears descending into hell. Yet when asked whether loving and forgiving longtime public targets like James Comey and Nancy Pelosi would be required to enter heaven, he flatly replied: “The answer is no… I probably can’t do it—because I truly hate some of my enemies, and that hatred will persist.”
