Trump: “I want to try and get to heaven, if possible,”

[FaithT]

At Charlie Kirk's memorial, where Charlie's widow Erika stated that she forgives the young man that took her husband's life:

"That young man—I forgive him. I forgive him because it is what Christ did and it is what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the gospel is love and always love. Love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us."


Trump in response:

“He did not hate his enemies. He wanted the best for them,” Trump said of Kirk, reading from the teleprompter. Then he turned to the crowd for an ad-lib: “That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them. I’m sorry. I am sorry, Erika. But now Erika can talk to me, and the whole group, and maybe they can convince me that that’s not right. But I can’t stand my opponent.”

Plus: Both hatred and grace at Charlie Kirk’s memorial.

Too bad Trump is so far beyond learning anything from the Kirks.

Trump Says ‘There’s No Reason To Be Good’ – Except To Get Into Heaven​

At one point, a reporter asked about a presidential prayer initiative ahead of the country’s 250th anniversary next year.

Trump cogently explained the need for the initiative and the importance he places on it:

We’re dealing – as you know – with all of the different – and not just evangelicals, Christians. We’re dealing with lots of different faiths, religions. And I felt for a long time that if a country doesn’t have religion, doesn’t have faith, doesn’t have God, it’s gonna be very hard to be a good country.

You know, there’s no reason to be good. I wanna be good because you wanna prove to God you’re good so you go to that next step, right? So, that’s very important to me. I think it’s really, very important.

The art of the deal, I guess. 'Show me you're good (not that there's any reason to be good) and there'll be something in it for you'.

I can't believe that anyone voted for him, let alone enough people to win an election.

I still can’t believe it either.

It would help me tremendously if I did the “correct thing” every single day. Sure, I might get a “big head”, but being right all of the time has its privileges.

Does this, "You know, there’s no reason to be good.", seem sociopathic to anyone else?
