Donald Trump Is 'Near the End' of Life, Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims

Donald Trump's former ally Marjorie Taylor Greene has claimed the US president is 'toward the end' of his life and questioned his mental state, after Trump repeatedly suggested he may not get into heaven during recent interviews and campaign communications in the United States.

For context, the comments came as Trump has increasingly mused in public about his prospects in the afterlife, telling supporters and reporters that he doubts he is 'heaven-bound.' Greene, once one of Trump's loudest champions in the hard-right MAGA movement, has broken sharply with him in recent months. Her latest remarks, made during an appearance on Megyn Kelly's podcast and reported by RadarOnline, go further than most critics by tying his spiritual doubts to questions about his judgment as a political leader.

Greene Questions Trump's 'Fourth Quarter' Mindset

On Kelly's show, Greene said Trump has 'repeatedly on camera and in interviews' stated that he does not believe he is going to heaven. That pattern of comments, she argued, raised what she called a 'serious question' about his state of mind.

'What is in his mind?' she asked. 'What is his mental state?'

Greene then framed Trump's age in starkly finite terms. At 79, she said, he is 'a man toward the end – he's in the fourth quarter – he's towards the end of his life.' From there, she pushed the idea beyond personal theology into national politics, asking what it means for the country if 'we have a president of the United States who doesn't think and is convinced he's not going to heaven.'

The phrasing was blunt and, by American standards, unusually morbid for a sitting or former president. Greene did not present medical evidence or formal assessments to support her suggestion that Trump is 'near the end' of his life, and nothing in the reporting so far indicates any confirmed diagnosis. Her remarks rest squarely on her interpretation of his own words and behaviour, so they should be treated with caution rather than as established fact.

A Fractured Alliance

The news came after a long and very public unravelling of the relationship between Trump and Greene. Once a high-profile defender who echoed his election fraud claims and styled herself as his fiercest ally in Congress, Greene has in recent months recast herself as an internal critic of his foreign policy and decision-making.

On Kelly's podcast she linked Trump's heaven talk directly to what she portrayed as a broader hardening in his approach to war and public opinion. Citing an interview Trump gave to the New York Post, Greene claimed he had said he no longer cared about polling or 'what the American people think,' and was open to putting 'troops on the ground' in an ongoing conflict.

She contrasted this with the version of Trump she had campaigned for in 2016 and 2020, the candidate who, in her words, 'denounced what happened in Iraq' and promised 'no more foreign wars' and 'no more regime change.'

'We're a year in,' she said of the current conflict scenario she was referring to, 'and we're in another f------- war and we've got American troops being killed.'

Her language turned angrier as she widened the lens from Trump's theology to Washington's entire security establishment. 'I think it's time for America to rip the bandaid off,' she said, arguing for a 'serious conversation about what the f--- is happening to this country and who in the h--- are these decisions being made for and who is making these decisions?'

The White House and Trump's campaign operation were not mentioned in the report and have not responded directly to Greene's 'fourth quarter' characterisation. Without their input, her claims remain one-sided and at times speculative.

Trump's Running Commentary on His Chances of Heaven

Greene's outburst tapped into a theme Trump himself has emphasised with a grim, showman's flair. According to the reporting, Trump recently revisited earlier remarks about not making it to heaven, initially dismissing them as him 'having fun,' but later admitting he only 'hoped to make it' there.

'But I doubt I will, to be honest with you,' he said. 'A lot of you will. I'm not so sure.'

RadarOnline also cites a campaign email Trump sent to his distribution list in which he spoke of wanting to 'try' to get into heaven. The site further points to a 2025 exchange aboard Air Force One, in which Trump reportedly told a reporter he was 'maybe not heaven-bound,' adding: 'I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven. But I've made life a lot better for a lot of people.'

In those same remarks, Trump is said to have conceded he did not think there was 'anything' that could secure him a place in heaven. On another occasion he declared, 'I don't think I can make it. I don't think I qualify,' before later insisting he was 'kidding' and being 'sarcastic.'

Taken in isolation, such lines can sound like dark humour from a politician who has always blurred the boundary between performance and confession. Greene's intervention tries to turn them into something more concrete: evidence, in her view, that a man 'in the fourth quarter' who doubts his own salvation might govern with fewer constraints and less regard for public sentiment.

None of that has been independently verified beyond the comments already on the record. There is no corroborated medical information suggesting Trump is physically 'near the end' of life, and his supporters would likely argue that his heaven jokes are simply part of his long-running persona. For now, the story sits in that murky zone where politics, faith and personal grievance collide, and where a onetime loyalist has decided to spell out her doubts in the starkest possible terms.
