The Devil might take a bribe, so maybe a GoFundMe set up to try to get it into Hell sooner?

During the Middle Ages, an indulgence was the Church’s official remission of some or all punishment for sins, granted on the basis of works of devotion, charity, or acts of service. Eventually, though, indulgences became simply things to be bought. Pope Leo X decided to sell indulgences throughout Europe, not to save souls, but to raise money for elaborate projects that he was spearheading in Rome, which is what got Luther all riled up. Trump's indulgences are a bit different, though: He's selling them to get himself into Heaven.

It's not gonna work, DonOld. Your soul, if you ever even had one, is toast.

I suppose it's only a matter of time though until MAGA ministers pick up on the idea.

Come to think of it, they've been milking the "send me money and Jesus will forgive your sins" racket for decades.

I suspect heaven is out of the question. If you believe in judgement is not out of the question hope he knows that his bought and paid for Supreme Court will not make a judgement in his favor.

Though he may be asked to leave a lot of congregations after this, he'll more than make up for it in invites and comped tables from skeevy casinos.

I was very young. I also was almost deaf. I watched him on TV but I never believed he could cure me. I was a child but I thought he was a phoney. My grandma thought the rollar derby skaters and wrestlers on tv were real too. I would laugh. I loved her dearly but she was gullible and poor.

I read a lot eve at a young age.

... Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves ...

In the message titled “He didn’t save me for a participation trophy," Trump recounts hearing the “loud crack” in Butler, Pennsylvania, and "feeling the hand of God” move his head before the bullet “pierced [his] skin.” He writes that he is “blessed to be alive,” insisting that God spared him so he could “finish the mission… saving America," which he says is "the only way" he can "earn" a spot in heaven.


That wasn't the hand of God you fool. It was a warning shot from the Devil himself, and you failed. You flew to close to the sun.

Burn.
