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.
Whatever, the death-cultists will still line up like “good christians” & vote for fascism.
America will never truly be free under the shadow of christofascist tyranny.
This.
This is the fucking bridge that is too far? This is the straw that broke the camel’s back? This is the hill you’ll die on?
Fucking hell, I was raised Christians and I think that Jesus guy had some great ideas but I certainly don’t identify as one now because fuck… Christians give Christ a bad name.
I’m glad more people are seeing through the grifter, but holy shit are these people dumb.
Right? It’s not, say, cheating on his pregnant wife with a prostitute? I would have thought THAT would be the thing that destroys his support among Christians, but nah, they don’t care.
But selling overpriced Bibles does upset them? Why? It’s probably the least insane thing he has done yet.
Asked for comment about the backlash, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek: “These are Never Trump idiots suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
In case anyone thought even Christians are welcome to criticize the idol.
The website selling the Bible bills the book as “the only Bible endorsed by President Trump!”
lol
As well as a King James Version translation, it includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus of “God Bless the USA” by Greenwood.
Totally normal.
The “King Trump Bible” it came to be known…
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”
All things they’ve never read, or will ever read, after they purchase them.
“the only Bible endorsed by President Trump!”
So has never endorsed the Bible until he was selling one?
……but will vote for him anyway.
Because what else can they do?
Stop being religious ideally
christians have loved what trump has done. but selling bibles is their limit? pathetic.
Some Christians, I’m sure. The Evangelicals that already loved him are currently trying to figure out how to shove a Trump Bible in their anus while describing it as “God’s plan”.
No, that’s not how this works. You carried the golden calf to term and gave birth to it. Own it you two faced hypocrites.
Christians are not a homogeneous blob of identity. As you may or may not have guessed, these are not the far-right Christians who believe Trump is the Second Coming of Christ. They are not responsible for what other people who identify as Christians have done or said, and they are entitled to change their minds about things they themselves have done or said.
They are fully entitled to speak out against the weaponisation of their religion and good luck to those who are courageous enough to do so.
Hey, Christians are the ones who got the Sunny D Orangutan into the oval office the first time. Anything that separates Mr. Cheeto Smegma from his base is a good thing in my book.
How many of you have watched this John KJV Bible by Alexander Scourby
Blasphemous Grift is my favorite band name since One Punch Manslaughter
Christians are so virtuous that a very small minority is finally upset about this after the last 8 years of supporting a man and a party that is quite literally the antithesis of what the Bible says that Jesus taught. Yeah I’m sure they’ll all turn over a new leaf now lol. Religion is a mental disorder and it’s time to start treating it like what it is.
You do realize a lot of Christians/Catholics don’t support Trump, right? Lots of Democratic leaders are Catholic, like Biden and Pelosi.
So only normal greed based capitalists? Wow, good for them! Jesus said to share ALL of your money with the poor and specifically said to pay taxes according to the Bible. Supposedly the Bible is the literal word of God. If you’re a “Christian” and you’re not at least a socialist if not a full blown Communist then you’re a fraud.
OK… I was just explaining why some Christians don’t like Trump selling bibles. I’m not sure why your being so toxic.
When you don’t like the truth so you just say it’s toxic.
Fucking hell, dude.
