Trump Sells $59.99 Bible

[Renauda]

C’mon George, you know very well that Biden, the nominal Catholic he is, would release an edition of the New Jerusalem Bible.

[Axtremus]

For Biden, I was thinking the Catechism given his Catholic background.

But that's insufficient red meat to attract clicks and probably too obscure a reference for the general population to "get" anyway. :man-shrugging:

You really went there, didn't you?

And if you believe it's really Donny's favourite book, I have a large semi-collapsed bridge to sell you.

On what basis do you refute his statement?

[89th]

Besides his very very long and extremely public record of lying or making shit up?

I remember when he was asked what’s a verse that inspires him and he didn’t want to name any verse. It was very personal to him you know. And then asked if he was more of an Old Testament or New Testament guy, and he said oh you know, both and said it’s a great book, and the only one better than his Art of the Deal book.

World might be a better place if more people read and followed the Bible.

Change could start with you.

I have absolutely no problem with people reading the Bible, and even better maybe taking some of the teachings to heart.

Billionaire politicians licensing it to raise money is pretty fucking sad. And if you believe it's really Donny's favourite book, I have a large semi-collapsed bridge to sell you.

Exactly.

Now if Trump used his billions of dollars fortune to give every adult in the USA who doesn't have a bible in their home (74,820,000 btw), it would only cost him $748 million. WWJD? Clearly Trump values people having the bible over making money off of selling it.

Since you have a desire to distribute Bibles, let me be of assistance...

So, you know the hearts of men?

Are you bucking for Jesus' job?

Seriously?

As we say in physics when discussing whether all the air molecules in the room could suddenly throw a chair up in the air, it’s not impossible, just highly improbable.

[jon-nyc]

No doubt the proceeds will fund his legal defense related to the porn star he fucked while his wife was home nursing their new baby.

If this was Bill Clinton, can you honestly say you'd give him the same level of leeway?

Because I've noticed that from time to time you have a tendency to be just a teensy weensy more critical of the hearts of men when it comes to your more progressive brethren.

https://www.gotquestions.org/Gideons-International.html

Exactly, you should send that link to Trump since he's interested in spreading the Word. But he might come back and ask, "How do I make money from this to fund my legal defense related to the porn star I fucked while my wife Mercedes was home nursing our new baby."

[Jolly]

Shows how little you know of what you're talking about. The Gideons don't distribute Bibles to just anybody. Local representatives contact local people and place or give Bibles where allowed. As a local Gideon, you would be working with hospital and military chaplains, hotel owners, etc. You will not distribute Bibles in a church.

While you're doing that, you'll also be speaking in front of churches and civic groups, trying to solicit donations to keep the organization funded.

Now, be my guest and pitch in.

Back to Trump...

As I said, this Bible is a Lee Greenwood product. Trump has licensed his name to it.

Again, it is overpriced, depending on binding, size, etc. OTOH, Bibles, even the KJV are not cheap, not for quality printing and binding.

When did you last buy a Bible?

I suspect, if you bought something like a Scofield, Thompson Chain Reference, Amplified or one of the several study Bibles such as MacArthur 's, you paid anywhere between $40-$100.

Now, the coup de grace...

Tell me 89th...If you knew of a politician who wanted another man's wife so badly, he seduced her and screwed her. Finding out later that the woman was pregnant, he arranged to have her husband killed.

Would you say that was worse than what Trump has done?

[89th]

Hang on, I knew I've seen this somewhere before. Big Dan? Meet Big Don!

What are you talking about? I literally said Trump's response to the gideon link would be to ask how he could make personal money from it.

Ha! The fact that's even a question says enough about Trump.

[jon-nyc]

In Magaworld “there exists a person even worse” is a valid character defense of the Dear Leader.

[xenon]

Yeah - I can get the argument that Trump is a wrecking ball. I don't understand why he has to be a virtuous wrecking ball.
