President Donald Trump has said that he would refuse to forgive James Comey and Nancy Pelosi at the gates of heaven even if it meant he would be turned away by St Peter.
Trump, who describes himself as a ‘religious person,’ was asked about his ability to forgive his political enemies during a sit down with 60 Minutes host Ross Douthat.
BRUTAL HONESTY.
This might be one of the deepest introspections into President Trump’s mind ever recorded.
In just 90 seconds, Trump gave 60 Minutes viewers a rare glimpse into how he views his enemies.
Host Ross Douthat repeatedly tried to give the president an opportunity to say he could forgive his political enemies. Every time, Trump refused to pretend.
DOUTHAT: “All you have to do to enter paradise is feel love and forgiveness for James Comey, Nancy Pelosi, anyone who you have expressed hate for over the years. Do you think you can do it?”
TRUMP: “Then I wouldn’t be real, would I?”
“Sure the easy answer to that’s, oh yes, I could forgive.”
“I found them to be extremely dishonest people, very bad people, very bad for our country. I love our country far more than I can love people…and people like that.”
DOUTHAT: “Is the answer no then?”
TRUMP: “The answer is no. I want to be honest!”
DOUTHAT: “Before the judgement throne of God?”
TRUMP: “Before the judgement.”
Most people would have given the politically correct answer and said they could forgive.
Trump chose to tell the truth, even when it wasn’t the answer people wanted to hear.
