Former President Donald Trump hawks $59.99 Bibles with the same words he uses to win the votes of evangelical Christians. He sells swatches of the suit he wore in a mug shot while also raising money for his campaign by calling himself a “political prisoner.” He describes Truth Social, his refuge for those banned on other social media sites — and his best chance to substantially increase his wealth — as a bulwark against liberal companies out to silence Christians and conservatives.
As he seeks to reclaim the presidency, Trump has reprised the pitchman role from his reality TV days, with a crucial difference: He has intertwined the marketing of his private business affairs with the messaging of his campaign, leveraging his political stature for profit.
All of it could be described as Martyr Inc., a machinery that makes Trump money and promotes his reelection by characterizing him as unjustly persecuted and selflessly saving his supporters from a similar fate.

Oh he’s correct. He and his supporters are to be persecuted.
I thought this article was about obama....
or al sharpton....
or BLM....
or the homo community...
or the demoKKKrat party in general....
FYNYT
Oh good gravy! NYT are a bunch of jealous hacks! The left may have better communication networks because of the LSM but they aren’t great at memes and how to make their candidate really stand out with charisma. Trump has it all in spades!
NYT yahoos are beyond ridiculous.
How dare he not grovel before us!
NYT has sour grapes. They are angry that Trump jujutsu’d their lawfare against them politically.
He was able to do so because it was clearly persecution, not prosecution on trumped up BS charges.
Few people have the time or resources to dig beneath the surface of the charges against Trump. Just ask a “progressive “ what Trump was convicted of and you can’t get a straight answer.
Who other than Trump can withstand these slings and arrows of the Deep State? This would all end for him if he just stood down. That’s why he can’t.
There must be some way to keep Trump from being a martyr.
OH Yes!
That would be stop persecuting him.
Bullitzer material.
It’s not just a “narrative” when you have Democrats who ran on a platform of “get Trump”...
Newsmedia emperor has no clothes
They have been exposed for what they are
It’s like Budweiser defending itself by calling anyone who likes playing or watching football as gay. I hope these idiots don’t think they are going to sell more newspapers with this Trump is a charlatan and his supporters are stooges line.
They tied their own shoelaces together. All Trump did was scheme you can’t catch me.
What does this author identify as? (I mean other than as an idiot?)
Does he list hi ‘preferred pronouns’?
I think he should be giving away the bibles.
