Trump seems to be promising his followers his version of the afterlife. At some distant point in the future - after he's rid the country of all immigrants, eliminated all 'radical socialist Democrat' programs from their lives, replaced science and learning with superstition and stupidity, and turned this country into a rightwing theocracy - they will finally enter Trump Heaven. Have faith, MAGA!
