Donald Trump

Newsweek -   President Donald Trump has shared a letter on Truth Social from evangelist Franklin Graham, offering advice on getting into heaven. The letter, which is dated 15 October, 2025, says: "If you accept that by faith and invite Him to come into your heart, you ARE heaven bound, I promise you."

His words were written in response to comments Trump made at the time, in which he doubted whether he would be going to heaven. On 13 October, 2025, Trump told reporters on Air Force One: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I really don't. I think I'm not, maybe, heaven-bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven. But I've made life better for a lot of people."

MSN -  Pope Leo said on Sunday that God rejects the prayers of leaders who start wars and have "hands full of blood", in unusually forceful remarks as the Iran war entered its second month.  Addressing tens of thousands in St. Peter's Square on Palm Sunday, the celebration that opens the holy week leading up to Easter for the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, the pontiff called the conflict "atrocious" and said Jesus cannot be used to justify any wars.

New Republic -   President Donald Trump was humiliated in a Cabinet meeting Thursday while trying to defend voting by mail in Florida’s special election earlier this week.  When asked by a reporter why he voted by mail—a process he previously referred to as “mail-in cheating” just days earlier—Trump had no coherent response.

“Because of the fact that I’m president of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot for elections that took place in Florida because I felt I should be here, instead of being in the beautiful sunshine,” he responded, claiming he was in Washington, D.C., leading up to the election and could not have voted in person.

That’s not true. The president was at his Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month, as the reporter pointed out.  “But you were in Palm Beach, sir, the last few weekends—could you have gone in person?” she responded, swiftly dismantling any justification Trump claimed to have for voting by mail.

... According to the Palm Beach County’s Supervisor of Elections website, Trump also voted by mail in 2020.  Following the lie about his whereabouts, Trump rambled aimlessly to defend himself in trademark style.
