Trump has said he would be unable to forgive some of his political opponents, including former FBI Director James Comey and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, even if forgiveness were a condition for entering heaven.
During a CBS News 60 Minutes interview with Ross Douthat, which aired on Sunday night, Trump was asked whether he could forgive political enemies such as Comey and Pelosi, even when he was on his deathbed.
"I love our country FAR more than I can love people. I don't think it's an easy
question. I found them to be extremely dishonest people. Very bad for our country.
"The answer is no. I want to be honest. Before the judgment of God. No, I think there were very bad people that I dislike. I can use the word hate. I do hate some of my enemies.
"I probably cannot do that now because I do hate some of my enemies, and I always will," he said.
When asked what he believed would happen after his death, Trump told Douthat, "I'm a religious person, so in theory, I go to heaven."
