Former President Donald Trump’s latest venture selling Bibles has sparked the fury of Christians.
Trump, who became the presumptive Republican nominee earlier in March, posted a video on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday urging his supporters to buy the “God Bless the USA Bible,” inspired by country singer Lee Greenwood’s patriotic ballad.
“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 in the post, alongside a link to a website selling the book for $59.99. It came a day after Trump seemingly compared his legal plight to Jesus Christ’s persecution.
And it comes as he faces mounting legal bills while fighting four criminal indictments and a series of civil charges while running to reclaim the White House. On Monday, 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.
But the move has sparked the ire of Christians.
Weird, it skips right from the 13th amendment to the 15th in this version. And I can’t find the emoluments clause anywhere.
“The right to vote for Trump shall not be denied or abridged…”
Wait, is that right?
Yes, that’s right after “Thou shalt not judge thy neighbor for raw dogging porn stars behind your pregnant wife’s back”
Ah, yep, right above “Take back your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, we don’t have any room.”
