US President Donald Trump stated that he would be unable to forgive political opponents such as James Comey and Nancy Pelosi, even if it were a condition for entering heaven.

During a CBS News 60 Minutes interview with Ross Douthat that aired on Sunday night, the President was questioned about whether he can forgive enemies like James Comey or Nancy Pelosi, even when facing his final moments.

Declaring that he loves the country far more than individuals, Trump explained that he found those rivals to be extremely dishonest and detrimental to the nation. He acknowledged that standing before divine judgment, his answer remains negative regarding forgiveness, adding that he does hate some of his adversaries and likely always will.

When asked what he believes happens after death, Trump described himself as a religious person who assumes he will theoretically go to heaven.

Over the past decade, the US leader has frequently criticized various opponents, several of whom faced legal challenges during his second term. Prominent figures encountering federal indictments include former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and former national security adviser John Bolton.

Comey, who oversaw the early bureau investigation concerning ties between the administration and Russia during the first term, faced two Department of Justice indictments within a twelve-month period in late 2025 and early 2026. Although the initial proceeding was dismissed, a second matter originating from a social media post remains ongoing, and federal prosecutors initiated steps last month toward a potential third indictment regarding the alleged disclosure of classified information.

Similarly, legal actions involving New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office previously secured civil fraud judgments against the Trump Organization, included federal bank fraud charges and accusations of providing false statements that were ultimately dismissed by a judge.

Meanwhile, John Bolton, a prominent hawk who served during the initial presidential term, represents a persistent target to undergo criminal prosecution after entering a guilty plea regarding the retention of classified materials ahead of a scheduled sentencing next month.
