NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump is now selling Bibles as he runs to return to the White House.
Trump, who became the presumptive Republican nominee earlier this month, released a video on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday urging his supporters to buy the “God Bless the USA Bible,” which is inspired by country singer Lee Greenwood’s patriotic ballad. Trump takes the stage to the song at each of his rallies and has appeared with Greenwood at events.
“Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless the USA Bible,” Trump wrote, directing his supporters to a website selling the book for $59.99.
The effort comes as Trump has faced a serious money crunch amid mounting legal bills while he fights four criminal indictments along with a series of civil charges. Trump was given a reprieve Monday when a New York appeals court agreed to hold off on collecting the more than $454 million he owes following a civil fraud judgment if he puts up $175 million within 10 days. Trump has already posted a $92 million bond in connection with defamation cases brought by the writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexual assault.

I went over and looked. NONE of the money goes to Trump or his campaign.
Of course, demonrats NEVER, EVER sell campaign merchandise to raise money, so Republicans shouldn’t either.
But they hate the Bible and everything it stands for, so that’s the real reason why they’re complaining.
The article’s title makes it sound as if Trump is making money off the Bibles. He is not. He is simply promoting the “God Bless the USA” Bibles. The Bible comes with the written lyrics of the Greenwood song, a copy of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Pledge of Allegiance.

I believe the Bible has been available for purchase for several years now at Lee Greenwood’s site.
In the past, Hillary was selling Saul.
He posted a video on his Truth Social account.
I went and looked this bible is promoted by Lee greenwood and it’s been around since at least 2022
“He’s the master of alot of things, ingluding Tacky.”
One of his less than endearing traits.
“If this true, waiting for confirmation, this is truly cringe worthy and a bad decision.”
How so?
Evidently, you have not bought a Bible recently.
I have a 1970 Bible that sells now for $1000.
The website doesn’t say which translation it is. Lots of editions of the Bible available for a lot less than they are charging.
Funny how democrat politicians get rich from “book deals” from big publishing even if the books don’t sell.
It’s a shame that we live in a THIRD WORLD country where your political opponent can use the fascist “justice system” to steal every penny you or your family has to keep you from winning or even running for a seat in the government. The current iteration of the so-called U.S. Government is the most corrupt ever. There now are only one and a half branches of government under this iteration. The Full power Executive, half of a Legislative branch and the Judicial which is really nothing but a tentacle of the fascist RAT Party.

...and Democrats all over the place, all the way up to Shrillary, have made millions selling chochkis based on hatred for Trump.
The symbol is DJT. Duh.
As long as it includes Two Corinthians.
DJT is not putting a gun to anyone’s head and forcing them to purchase a Bible. The man tries to put himself between us and the sick libs, seems the least folks who appreciate that effort is toss him a few bucks and if you get a Bible in the process it’s a win win. You don’t like it, don’t order one.
