Trump Sells $59.99 Bible

If I remember correctly, Jesus loves vendors in the temple.

You don't.

Go back and read your Bible

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

Change could start with you.

Proselitism never has proven to be a good thing.

It's a basic belief. If you had Good News, would you not wish to share it?

With all his biblical reading I wonder if he ever figured out that the 7 Deadly Sins wasn't intended to be a bucket list.

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.

“All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many. It’s my favorite book,” Mr. Trump said in the video posted on Truth Social. “I’m proud to endorse and encourage you to get this Bible. We must make America pray again.”

I really like the imperative order of the last sentence. Donald Trump, the American Moses, turning good news into bad news one mendacious word after another.

Thutmoses, perhaps. He's certainly got the decor.

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.

Or the Grim Grifter.

FWIW, I considered posting this in the Never-Ending Grift thread but decided to give Trump the benefit of the doubt.

[Renauda]

@Axtremus

Better that you decided that grift of this degree of profanity deserves its own thread. Good call.

[George K]

Hold my beer...

[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?

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.
