On Benny Johnson’s Oct. 14 YouTube episode, the conservative commentator praised President Trump’s “beautifully humble” remarks about getting to heaven. “It’s actually perfect Christian doctrine,” said Johnson. “None of us actually deserve to go to heaven…We need grace.”
When Johnson asked how the commander-in chief practices his faith, Eric Trump said his dad “doesn’t wear it on his sleeve, like so many people.” He continued, “My father tries to do the right thing…He believes in God. [God is] guiding this journey and yet he’s humble.”

President Trump also is self-deprecating, Eric said, such as when he told Israeli Prime Ministry Benjamin Netanyahu that daughter Ivanka Trump’s conversion to Judaism “was not necessarily in the cards.”
The president is “never somebody else, he’s never fake, he never pretends to [be] the Bible-thumper that certain people in politics pretend to be,” said Eric Trump. “He clearly believes…especially after what he’s gone through. There’s no one [who] believes in faith more than him at this point, [but] he’s not an actor. He’s true to himself, and he says what’s on his heart and in his soul.”
