Joe Walsh shares his honest reaction to President Trump’s answer about forgiving his enemies in a recent interview.
Political commentator Joe Walsh did not hold back after President Trump admitted that he cannot forgive his enemies. On November 9, 2026, the former Republican congressman from Illinois called the president a sociopath in a post on X. The post came a day after the interview aired.
“He is a sociopath. He is humanly incapable of shame, humanly incapable of forgiveness. He is quite simply an utterly horrible human being.”
The president’s answer came in his first long sit-down since the midterms. CBS News aired the 60 Minutes interview on November 8, with correspondent Ross Douthat closing on mortality and faith. Trump said he considers himself religious and hopes to reach heaven. Douthat then set his terms: love and forgiveness for James Comey, Nancy Pelosi, and anyone else Trump had attacked. Trump said he would rather be honest than lie before the judgment of God.

President Donald Trump Refuses To Forgive His Enemies
Douthat took a different approach and wondered how the president would handle forgiveness, especially if it meant getting through the land of God. He told Trump he had lived the most charmed life of any American in his lifetime. The president elaborated that he would prefer to be honest and admitted that he is incapable of forgiving his enemies.
The same interview turned to money. Douthat cited a Forbes estimate that Trump’s net worth rose by about $3 billion since January 2025. Trump said everyone’s had risen too. When Douthat said his own had not, Trump suggested he should have purchased stock before. When asked whether he could forgive Nancy Pelosi or James Comey, the president gave a blunt and honest answer:
“The answer is no. I want to be honest: before the judgment, no. I think they were very bad people, and I dislike, I can use the word ‘hate’ because I do hate some of my enemies.”
The president accepted the fact that he could not enter paradise because of his own admission that he wouldn’t forgive his enemies. Trump holds a grudge against those who tried to bring him down, and he doesn’t let bygones be bygones.
