Donald Trump selling Bibles sparks fury from Christians—"Blasphemous grift"

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.

christians have loved what trump has done. but selling bibles is their limit? pathetic.

……but will vote for him anyway.

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.

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.

False prophet laundering false profits

Blasphemous Grift is my favorite band name since One Punch Manslaughter

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.

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.

Former President Donald Trump’s latest venture selling Bibles has sparked the fury of Christians.

But the move has sparked the ire of Christians.

Oh, NOW they noticed his grifting.

If his last bible episode didn’t end his Christian support, I doubt this will either.

They didn’t give a shit last week when he compared himself to Jesus. They won’t care about this.

What he should start selling is little golden statues of himself. That'd be pretty biblical lol

I don't believe it, other than a handful. If there's a study I might be interested, some random people on social media... eh.

They'll still vote for him.

But I'm still voting for him

/s, I wish

I find it amusing that given they are such good Christians they couldn't have just written their own translation and depend instead of the public domain King James Bible.

Combination of church and state

Yeah sure. Maybe the Christians that didn't already love him.

In a late stage capitalist system it's a national security issue to have a president in such a severe amount of debt. It should be a requirement to be personally debt free to be president.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

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.

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.

Today, much like Jesus overturning the moneychangers' tables, Christians are sick of seeing MAGA's false prophets twist our loving faith for an agenda of hatred and selfishness.

He has completely trashed our political party & now he's trying to ruin our faith community for his own ends," Heath Mayo, a conservative lawyer, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

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.

He has also sold digital trading cards that portrayed him in cartoon-like images as a number of characters, including as a superhero, astronaut and NASCAR driver.

The original article contains 717 words, the summary contains 201 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Don’t worry, no Americans need to buy these. Putin will buy all of them —off the books of course. In an unrelated incident, there were reports of a large fire on DJT’s Mar a Lago property next week.

Fuck the lot of em
