Former PresidentĀ Donald Trumpās 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 āGod Bless the USA Bible,ā inspired by country singer Lee Greenwoodās patriotic ballad.
āHappy Holy Week! Letās 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 Christās 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.

Their handlers (pastors, Fox News, OANN, etc) have made them genuinely terrified that everyone outside their echo-chamber are ābaby-murdering, child-grooming, liberal perverts that want to force you to swear allegiance to the Beast of the End Timesā.

Even quoting their own scripture at them (because it absolutely disagrees with almost everything they stand for) is immediately disregardedā¦ because remember: not doing as your told is the work of Satan, and āeven the devil can quote scripture.ā
There is no redemption for people like that (see: Matthew 23:13).
