Former PresidentĀ Donald TrumpĀ is now selling Bibles as he runs to return to the White House.

Trump, who becameĀ the presumptive Republican nomineeĀ earlier this month, released a video on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday urging his supporters to buy the ā€œGod Bless the USA Bible,ā€ which is inspired by country singer Lee Greenwoodā€™s patriotic ballad. Trump takes the stage to the song at each of his rallies and has appeared with Greenwood at events.

ā€œHappy Holy Week! Letā€™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,ā€ Trump wrote, directing his supporters to a website selling the book for $59.99.

The effort comes as Trump has faced a serious money crunch amid mounting legal bills while he fights four criminal indictments along with a series of civil charges. Trump was given a reprieve Monday whenĀ a New York appeals courtĀ agreed to hold off on collecting the more thanĀ $454 millionĀ he owes following a civil fraud judgment if he puts up $175 million within 10 days. Trump has alreadyĀ posted a $92 million bondĀ in connection with defamation cases brought by the writerĀ E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexual assault.

        I just find one whole thing crazy. I live in a country where the head of state of the head is the church yet when it comes to politics religion is barely mentioned. The USA makes this whole noise about separating these things, and yet it seems to be elected you have to be (or at just be seen to be) a religious nut job.

          You have to either be or act like you are a specifically Christian nut job to be elected if youā€™re Republican. Democrats just have to claim to be Christian.

      Who would hold him to it? Seems the biggest flaw was assuming that a person who should be at that space would have better judgement.
