Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, the US President said that his past assumptions about not getting into heaven were actually a joke.
He accused the media of reporting his words about the afterlife verbatim, implying that his sense of irony was not conveyed in the reports.
The publication notes that this is a tactic Trump often uses when his comments cause an unexpected stir, trying to soften them without implying a possible caveat.
"I was just kidding," Trump said of his past comments.
"I really think I probably should get there (to heaven – ed.). I mean, I'm not a perfect candidate, but I've done a hell of a lot of good for perfect people," the US President summarized.
