Reference News Network August 20 report, according to the website of the U.S. "New York Times" on August 19, on the morning of the 19th, U.S. President Trump called the "Fox & Friends" program on Fox News Channel, revealing his latest - and most genuine - motive for pushing to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict: he is worried that after his death, he may not be able to enter heaven.

The report said, he explained, "If possible, I want to try to get into heaven. I heard that I have performed poorly. (In the ranking for qualification to enter heaven), I am really at the bottom now. But if I can go to heaven, (promoting peace) will be a major reason."

It is extremely unusual for any president to say such words, and it seems particularly out of character coming from him. Many supporters regard him as a savior - and he has been fueling this belief. Now, he has admitted that he is not a saint.

This fear of going to hell has raised some questions. The first question is: who told the president that he is "performing poorly" on the path to heaven?

The report noted that it is rare to hear Trump speak in such deep self-reflection, even self-deprecating terms. He has spoken many times about his brush with death last summer and the changes it brought, but apart from that, he rarely acknowledges his own mortality. He is old - to be exact, 79 years old - yet he never wants anyone to remind him of that.

On his 78th birthday, he said, "You know, at a certain age, you don't want to hear people say 'Happy Birthday'. You just want to pretend that the day doesn't exist."

He also said at the time, "My father lived a long life, and my mother did too. They were happy and good people. So maybe we can live long too. I hope so."

The report said that Trump's recollections of his parents often provoke his reflections. After being convicted of 34 felony charges, he mentioned his parents' possible reactions during campaign rallies. At one rally, he candidly said, "Now my loving parents are in heaven, I think they are. They are looking down from heaven. They would say, 'How could my son be like this?'"

Regarding Trump's latest remarks, White House press secretary Levitt responded, "I think the president is serious (about talking about this)."(Translation by Wu Mei)
