 The Utter Ridiculousness of ‘Trump Bibles’

The criminally indicted, twice-divorced, sexual-assaulting ex-president doesn’t have many people left to con—so he’s going back to evangelicals as his marks.

Is there any better way to celebrate the glory of the Resurrection than by helping a criminal suspect—indicted on scores of charges—pay off his legal fees?


LONG CON DON
Not according to Donald Trump, who took his broke ass to Truth Social on Tuesday morning to announce that supporters can purchase copies of the Christian holy book.
We all know at this point that Trump’s business savvy is a gold-plated mirage, but you can’t say the man doesn’t know how to squeezebucks out of attaching his name to stuff.
Hence, he’s selling the “God Bless The USA” Bible—a reference to the Lee Greenwood song of the same name—for $59.99 a pop
(plus shipping and handling).
For those wondering why the price point is so high, a site dedicated solely to selling the books notes that it’s
“the only Bible endorsed by President Trump.” Not like those other worthless Bibles that aren’t endorsed by Trump.

In the sales video posted to Truth Social, Trump does some basic product placement
(somehow, inexplicably, the Bible doesn’t burst into flames in his godless hands) and suggests
that this Easter, “Let’s Make America Pray Again!”
I know that there’s no bottom for the Trump campaign and, similarly, no level of idiocy
his most fervent supporters won’t co-sign, but can we just review the facts here?
Donald Trump’s Christianity has always been so unserious as to be laughable,
and his latest con of peddling Bibles fits right in with that history.
