The 79-year-old US President made the unusual admission during an appearance on Fox and Friends, just a day after hosting European leaders, including Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at the White House. Linking his legacy to global diplomacy, Trump remarked that if he succeeds in brokering peace between Ukraine and Russia, it might help secure him a place in the afterlife.

    We require the headline match the article, looks like they might have changed it up on you.

    Current headline reads:

    “Pictures of Trump’s Swollen Ankles and Hands Boost Health Rumours After He Admits He’s ‘Not Doing Well’”

    Please make it match up or we’ll have to remove it.

      Is there a time limit if they change the headline after it’s posted? It’s also not uncommon to have an A and B headline that different people see, when they’re both correct.

        It varies, if a headline is obviously manipulated by the user, I remove it with the note and when they fix it, I’ll restore it.

        In cases like this where the mismatch is substantially the same, I’ll post up the warning and give them 8 hours or so to fix it, then remove it.

        I figure people have to, you know, work and sleep and stuff.

        OTOH, after a few hours, if they’re making other posts and comments, it’s clear they aren’t reaponding to the warning and I’ll remove it.

        I’m not a mod, but if that a site was showing different content to different people, perhaps an archived version of the article that matches the headline of the post would be necessary as the link so that there’s no confusion.

    They’ve got to be worried about him waking up in the morning if they’re admitting to this.

    The headline is entirely inaccurate.

    From the article:

    Donald Trump has sparked fresh health concerns after confessing he is ‘not doing well’ when it comes to his chances of getting into heaven.

      Satan: Holy shit, we’re going to need to make some renovations to match this guy’s punishment. Tell the daemons in Cocytus we need something between Antenora and Ptolomaea.

      In a way it’s more interesting that Trump has some awareness that he’s not a good guy.

      People are so desperate to hear that either Trump or Putin is about to die, these stories have been popping up every few months for a decade or more.

        At this point, they have like a 5-7% chance of dying every year based on actuary tables. So dying at any point at that age isn’t remarkable or unlikely. But there’s like a 0-8 year range where it’s likely to occur based on that.

    I guess he’s partially correct in that if we are to believe in a heaven, you don’t get there by raping women and fucking little girls. It raises the question of whether you can be lifelong rapist and pedophile and then do a good deed to erase the bad. As if it’s based on some kind of morality point system.

      In Christian theology, it’s mostly explicitly not based on works but solely on baptism and 100% forgiveness of sin. Depending on how you interpret the theology repentance can be required though, not just asking for forgiveness.

          That is intended for believers to do good things. That doesn’t change that forgiveness from sins can be requested at any time.

            Requested, sure. My point being that it’s only a heretical minority of Pharisees, liars and hypocrites who believe that forgiveness will be granted if they only talk the talk and don’t walk the walk.

              No that’s not correct at all. A large amount of protestant churches have the doctrine that salvation is through grace alone and not works. That was a big party of the Catholic protestant split. If you’re Catholic and disagree that’s fine, but it’s untrue to say that it is a fringe opinion.

    I’d rather him experience some level of fucking consequences for once in his life. But for the sake of humanity I will also accept his health failing.
