US President Donald Trump sat down for an unusually candid interview on CBS's "60 Minutes" following his midterm election losses. The full interview is set to air overnight Sunday into Monday.
When asked about his faith and whether he believes he will reach heaven after his death, Trump gave a surprisingly unguarded answer: "I hope so, I don't want to go to hell."
The interview, conducted in a tone markedly different from Trump's typically combative style, showed a more reflective figure appearing to come to terms with the election results and take stock of his time in office.
In a striking admission, the President acknowledged that his hardline deportation and immigration policies may have gone too far and been excessively rigid in their implementation.
"I think I was too tough," Trump told the surprised interviewer.
Beyond the political and policy questions, which included discussion of potential future cooperation with Democratic Party members and tensions with Iran, the interview also offered a less conventional glimpse into life at the White House, from the luxury décor featuring 24-karat gold plating to personal reflections on mortality in the shadow of the presidency.
