Trump Discusses Inevitability of Death, Says He Wants Religious Revival in U.S. (VIDEO)
Former President Donald Trump spoke about his own mortality and the need for a religious revival in the U.S. during a recent interview with Russian-American podcaster Lex Fridman.
During the hour-long interview posted on Tuesday that touched on topics ranging from the 2024 presidential election to the Kennedy assassination and UFOs, the conversation honed in at the end on mortality and the role religion plays in coming to terms with it and the potential of an afterlife.
“One of the tragic things about life is that it ends,” Fridman said. “How often do you think about your death? Are you afraid of it?”
Trump: "Our country is missing a lot of religion. I think it really was a much better place with religion. It was almost a guide. You want to be good to people. Without religion, there's no real guardrails. I'd love to see us get back to more religion in this country." pic.twitter.com/I2O2H5EknE

Trump, who narrowly escaped an assassin’s bullet on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, recounted that he has a “very successful” friend in his mid-80s who thinks about death constantly and often reminds him that time is slipping away.
“He said, ‘I think about it every minute of every day,'” Trump noted of what his friend said of death. “Then, a week later, he called me to tell me something, and he starts off the conversation by going, ‘Tick-tock, tick-tock.’ This is a dark person, in a sense, but it is what it is.” (Read more from “Trump Discusses Inevitability of Death, Says He Wants Religious Revival in U.S. (VIDEO)” HERE)
