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.

    No it isnā€™t. The Christians are the fash, dumbass. They have killed and burned millions upon millions both with their religion, their dogma, and theyā€™re absolute rejection of logic and reason. They are the fascist. Theyā€™re the ones that need to be eliminated, and that is a matter of self-defense.
