US President Donald Trump has spoken openly about religion, the afterlife, his political enemies and UFOs in an interview for CBS News’ popular programme 60 Minutes. The interview, conducted by journalist Ross Douthat, touched on Trump’s mortality and other little-known sides of his life.
Trump, 80, who has survived more than one attempt on his life, was asked what he thinks happens after death. After a pause, he said he sees himself as a religious man and in theory should go to heaven, because he does not want to go to hell. He said he hopes people will remember him after he dies.
At one point Douthat asked whether Trump could forgive political rivals such as James Comey or Nancy Pelosi if that were the only condition for entering heaven.
The US president replied plainly that he could not. He said he hates some of his political enemies and always will, so forgiving them is impossible for him.
Besides politics and the afterlife, Trump also talked about UFOs, or unidentified flying objects. He said several highly skilled and reliable US Air Force pilots had met him while he was in the Oval Office.
The pilots, neat and professional like Hollywood star Tom Cruise, do not believe in conspiracy theories, he said. Although he personally does not much believe in UFOs, the president said those trusted pilots had shared some very strange experiences with flying objects with him.
