Former President Donald Trump is now selling Bibles as he runs to return to the White House.

Trump, who became the presumptive Republican nominee earlier this month, released a video on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday urging his supporters to buy the “God Bless the USA Bible,” which is inspired by country singer Lee Greenwood’s patriotic ballad. Trump takes the stage to the song at each of his rallies and has appeared with Greenwood at events.

“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, directing his supporters to a website selling the book for $59.99.

The effort comes as Trump has faced a serious money crunch amid mounting legal bills while he fights four criminal indictments along with a series of civil charges. Trump was given a reprieve Monday when 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. Trump has already posted a $92 million bond in connection with defamation cases brought by the writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexual assault.

        And sure bears uncanny resemblance to the antichrist (who IIRC was based on some asshole Roman Caesar or something… Who was probably a crooked, narcissistic piece of shit like DT)

          between the antichrist parallels, the world unexplainably heating up and an ongoing war in Israel, I’m starting to look forward to all the chucklefucks getting raptured.

            The “God is actually real” scenario isn’t going to end with the chucklefucks getting raptured. There’s going to be a whole lot of confusion down in the Bible Belt. Probably followed by deciding they were passed over because they didn’t hate their neighbors enough.

              Oh, in was just trying to make a joke but of course I’m with you. I’ve never been much of a believer myself but I’ve always tried to live as best I can just in case :)

      All they know about Jesus is that he does a good job on the landscaping. And since he’s one of those illegals, they can pay him off the books.

      It’s exactly what he literally flipped tables over and whipped greedy religious-item merchants about.

      What, blasphemy? Yeah, pretty sure most Judeo-Christian texts frown upon using the lord’s name in vain (and for profit).
