Donald Trump selling Bibles sparks fury from Christians—"Blasphemous grift"
Former President Donald Trump's latest venture selling Bibles has sparked the fury of Christians.
Trump, who became the presumptive Republican nominee earlier in March, posted a video on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday urging his supporters to buy the "God Bless the USA Bible," inspired by country singer Lee Greenwood's patriotic ballad.
"Happy Holy Week! Let'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," Trump wrote in the post, alongside a link to a website selling the book for $59.99. It came a day after Trump seemingly compared his legal plight to Jesus Christ'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.
Christians are so virtuous that a very small minority is finally upset about this after the last 8 years of supporting a man and a party that is quite literally the antithesis of what the Bible says that Jesus taught. Yeah I'm sure they'll all turn over a new leaf now lol. Religion is a mental disorder and it's time to start treating it like what it is.
You do realize a lot of Christians/Catholics don't support Trump, right? Lots of Democratic leaders are Catholic, like Biden and Pelosi.
So only normal greed based capitalists? Wow, good for them! Jesus said to share ALL of your money with the poor and specifically said to pay taxes according to the Bible. Supposedly the Bible is the literal word of God. If you're a "Christian" and you're not at least a socialist if not a full blown Communist then you're a fraud.
OK... I was just explaining why some Christians don't like Trump selling bibles. I'm not sure why your being so toxic.
When you don't like the truth so you just say it's toxic.
Fucking hell, dude.
Not upset enough to miss out on a deal like that, though!
