Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has made a promise not to make a mockery out of the presidency, and it's because he believes leading America to greatness is "probably" his only ticket to heaven.

"This will be an election that will go down in the history books and for evangelicals, for the Christians, for everybody, for everybody of religion, this will be maybe the most important election that our country has ever had," said Trump, according to CBN News.

"So go out and spread the word and once I get in, I will do my thing that I do very well. And I figure it's probably maybe the only way I'm going to get to heaven. So I better do a good job. Okay? Thank you," he said.

Trump also talked about current President Barack Obama and his opponent, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, during his meeting with evangelicals in Orlando, Florida. He slammed them both as the "founders of ISIS."

"I made the statement before that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, these are the founders of ISIS. These are the founders of ISIS because of bad judgment," he pointed out. "ISIS is going to present them with the most valuable player award, you know? Like in high school. Most valuable player."

Meanwhile, American documentary filmmaker Michael Moore says Trump is making a lot of outrageous comments during his campaign trail because he never really wanted to become the 45th president of the United States in the first place.

"Donald Trump never actually wanted to be president of the United States. I know this for a fact. I'm not going to say how I know it," he writes for The Huffington Post.

Moore says Trump's presidency is all just a publicity stunt to boost his shows, adding that even Trump himself was surprised when he "ignited the country, especially among people who were the opposite of billionaires."

"Trust me, I've met the guy. Spent an afternoon with him. He would rather invite the Clintons AND the Obamas to his next wedding than have that scarlet letter ('L') branded on his forehead seconds after the last polls have closed on that night," says Moore.
