Trump is selling 'God Bless the USA' Bibles for $59.99 as he faces mounting legal bills

Source: AP

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.

Every heroic act is performed by some guy named Donald.
All his opponents are "Losers"
Donald slew Loser-Goliath with one punch. (No jawbone of an ass needed. Because Trump was still using that bone)

The sheep already have a favorite Bible. He thinks they are all the same but there are many versions and if his doesn’t have the secret sauce , well he is out of luck.

Actually KJV is free; one can download it for free at Project Gutenberg.

Regardless his BS of using that version, it is in the public domain and he can maximize his profits.

How shamefully obvious this bullshit artist is, appealing to the gullible & self-righteous know-nothings, his backward base.
Are there enough suckers out there for this lowlife to cinch the electoral-college states? That's his plan.

Scammed the newly widowed by keeping cheap Bibles in the back of his junker, searing the women’s initials on the covers in cheapass gold plate, telling them their husbands had ordered it for them right before they died, and then charging an outrageous sum because the hubbies “wanted the best.” And of course the poor widows gladly paid.

A grift as old as time that still finds suckers. Disgusting that this POS is doing this to raise cash. Did he hold it right side up in the sales pitch, at least?

(Great movie, BTW.)
