A theory which is mine, belongs to me, and is mine too.
No, this is just a theory and a surmise, it does not pretend to be the truth or even close to it, but I was doing some thinking, and this is what popped into my head.
Some background: many years ago my cardiologist said something really interesting to me, he said That all these blood pressure medications, cholesterol medications, diet, and exercise, all the stuff was great and absolutely worth doing and in many or most cases will lengthen an individual‘s life and improve the quality. However, and this is a big however, he said that when you have your first heart attack or stroke, you are considered basically a terminal patient and the question is for how long can they keep you alive? Three months, 30 years, they just don’t know. But one thing they do know is that you entered a different sphere and there are a whole different set of considerations at that level.
I think that a diagnosis was made and conveyed to Orangina. On the one hand, he who has exhibited denial his entire life, will consciously attempt to override any dire news, but the visceral, and I hate to use the term, intellectual side of him, and I apologize for that, let me change it to cognitive side or conscious side or whatever makes you happy, knows that it is just a matter of time. The question is: how long?
I believe that he blurts this “heaven“ stuff out because it is not too distant from his consciousness, that his time is by definition limited. Of course, that is true of all of us, particularly those of us in our 70s and older, including the writer here. But it would be particularly difficult for an individual whose so-called doctor said that he could live to 200 and that he was in the best shape of any president in history of the United States to cope with this cognitive dissonance.
And one more thing: there are many diseases which occur as a result of gluttony, and we tend to only mention heart disease because it is the most familiar, but people would be surprised at the multitude of pathologies which may present themselves when an individual spends a lifetime consuming nutritionally horrendous foods.
As I said, just a theory and a sidebar consideration, presented for your cogent analyses

You may well be right though.
it's speculation.
For example, you could be right that he's getting ready to check out because he didn't seek medical attention in the past where it could have made a difference. Who knows how many mild heart attacks or strokes he's had? Not to mention, it wouldn't surprise me if he lied to his doctor. A lot of patients do. And there's a point in treating patients where essentially, there isn't much left to do for them. You tell them to put their affairs in order. Finally, TSF isn't using his "Maybe I'll get into Heaven, maybe not" to raise money. ("Send $25 to Donald J. Trump to help him get into Heaven"
If he was pretty sure he was going to get a few more years in, he'd be using it for "donations".
But flipping the argument that his demise is sooner than later, again, we haven't seen his medical chart. To the best of my knowledge, humans can't be kept alive indefinitely. But with the NIH and Walter Reed nearby, I'll guess that TSF is getting better medical care than you and myself..
That being said, I just lost a dear, dear friend in the Spring. He died "suddenly", but in hindsight, maybe not. I've been remembering stuff we discussed six months before he died. He dropped hints and I didn't pick them up. (I don't believe that he wanted me to know that he was going to die as he didn't want our last conversation to be with me crying into the telephone.) But perhaps, TSF is giving us a heads up.
In any case, it can't come soon enough.
