No, we’re not joking.
No, we’re not joking.
What is happening?
In one of his most bizarre moves yet, Donald Trump has launched a flash fundraiser—not for his campaign, but to help him get into heaven.
That’s right. The former president is now asking supporters to chip in for what he claims is a celestial cause.
Wait, seriously?
No, we’re not joking. The U.S. president is now asking supporters to chip in for what he claims is a celestial cause.
Since his return to the Oval Office at age 79, Trump has kept headlines buzzing with offbeat decisions, but this might be the weirdest one yet.
Emails promising a Path to Paradise
Late last month, supporters began receiving emails titled “I want to try and get to Heaven.”
Written in Trump’s voice, the message suggests his life’s trials—surviving an assassination attempt, defeating Hillary Clinton, and building “the greatest economy in history”—are proof of his divine mission.
A 24-hour “Heaven Blitz” for $15 a pop
In classic Trump fashion, the email segued into a fundraising pitch:
“That’s why I’ve launched a 24-HOUR TRUMP FUNDRAISING BLITZ… chip in $15 to make it one for the record books!”
It was framed as part of a cosmic battle to “never surrender” and “save this country.”
E-mail confirmed as real
If you’re wondering whether this was some elaborate parody, you’re not alone.
But fact-checking site Snopes verified the email’s authenticity.
While it remains unclear what the funds are actually for, the messaging definitely leans spiritual—if not a little surreal.
Buying a ticket to Heaven? Not really
Despite the campaign’s heavenly theme, many pointed out that salvation isn’t something you can crowdfund—at least not since the days of Medieval indulgences.
The historical irony wasn’t lost on critics, who questioned the theological premise of Trump’s plea.
Emails arrive amid death rumors
Timing couldn’t have been worse. The emails landed just as social media lit up with unfounded rumors claiming Trump had died in office.
The contradiction—fundraising for heaven while supposedly deceased—sparked a wave of online mockery.
Public confused, amused, concerned
“Pretty weird to send out when you’re trying to reassure people that you’re healthy,” one X user commented.
The campaign’s tone left many baffled, with reactions ranging from laughter to genuine concern about Trump’s state of mind.
“I’m at the Bottom of the Totem Pole”
In a recent Fox and Friends interview, Trump opened up about his spiritual standing.
“I want to try to get to heaven if possible,” he said while discussing the Ukraine conflict. “I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”
Divine comedy or political strategy?
Whether it’s a tongue-in-cheek ploy or a serious spiritual appeal, Trump’s “heaven fundraiser” adds yet another twist to his ever-unpredictable legacy.
No matter what you think of the U.S. President, you’ve got to admit that he knows how to make headlines.
