WASHINGTON, DC: Could making peace between Ukraine and Russia earn Donald Trump a place in heaven? In an interview on 'Fox & Friends,' Trump said he’s not just aiming for peace on Earth but is also hoping for a reward in the afterlife.

He suggested that his efforts to end the war might bring him the divine favor of a place in heaven. The comment came just a day after he hosted a meeting with European leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, at the White House.

Trump expresses hope that his actions will lead him to heaven

Donald Trump has expressed hope that brokering peace between Russia and Ukraine might not only mark a major diplomatic achievement but also earn him a place in heaven.

In a recent 'Fox & Friends' interview, Trump shared, “If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s pretty– I want to try to get to heaven if possible, I’m hearing that I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole,” Trump said with a grin. “But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons."

A cornerstone of Trump’s campaign platform has been his promise to end the war that began more than three and a half years ago, when Russia invaded Ukraine.

Trump has previously spoken about his belief that his actions could influence his fate in the afterlife. Speaking with Fox News host Laura Ingraham in August 2024, he remarked with his signature humor, “If I’m good, I’m going to Heaven and if I’m bad, I’m going someplace else – like over there, right?”

Recently, he has also voiced a desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming he deserves it for his role in reducing tensions between global powers.

Internet hails Trump as 'the peacemaker'

Donald Trump's recent comments about potentially earning a place in heaven for helping to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine quickly went viral, sparking an outpouring of support from his followers across social media.

Others chimed in with emotional and spiritual messages. “Oh, that’s so sweet, honey. Bless his heart,” one supporter commented.

A user hailed him as “The Peace President🕊️, he truly just wants people to stop dying.... amazing man ❤️.”



 

Supporters also praised what they saw as Trump’s Christian values. “If more of the world shared Trump's Christian values, it would be a much safer place. 💯🇺🇸,” one wrote.

On X (formerly Twitter), one user declared, “Trump the peacemaker! Ending wars, saving lives – that's divine leadership.”

Trump's efforts to make peace between Ukraine and Russia

Last week, Trump met face-to-face with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time since 2019. The high-stakes meeting, held in Alaska, marked the beginning of direct talks on the conditions under which Russia might agree to enter peace negotiations with Ukraine.

While Trump and several European leaders voiced support for an immediate ceasefire, Putin signaled that Moscow was not yet ready to take that step.

Analysts suggest that any potential deal would likely involve Ukraine making significant concessions—possibly including the surrender of contested territory—in exchange for an end to the conflict that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.

As the US ramps up efforts to broker a resolution, diplomatic discussions between Trump, Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and European leaders are expected to continue in the coming days and weeks.
