Former PresidentĀ Donald Trumpā€™s latest ventureĀ selling BiblesĀ has sparked the fury of Christians.

Trump, who became the presumptiveĀ RepublicanĀ nominee earlier in March, posted a video on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday urging his supporters to buy the ā€œGod Bless the USA Bible,ā€ inspired by country singer Lee Greenwoodā€™s patriotic ballad.

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 in the post, alongside a link to a website selling the book for $59.99. It came a day afterĀ Trump seemingly compared his legal plight to Jesus Christā€™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.

    Look, i can excuse the racism, having no clue what heā€™s doing as a president, the rape allegations, heā€™s super into minors, probably his own daughter, stealing and selling sensible documents, the nepotism, the lies, grifting his voters, swindling taxpayer money, not paying any fees ever, not paying for venues that he rents out, using his golf course to, again, steal taxpayer money, he might be a blatant russian asset, heā€™s also way too much into dictators, he didnā€™t furfill ANYof his campaign promises, selling beans from the oval office.

    But selling an old ass novel about my imaginary sky daddy? You crossed the line there buckaroo.
