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 have loved what trump has done. but selling bibles is their limit? pathetic.
Some Christians, I’m sure. The Evangelicals that already loved him are currently trying to figure out how to shove a Trump Bible in their anus while describing it as “God’s plan”.
I’m just relieved there is a limit
It’s not a limit. It’s manufactured outrage. If they supported him prior to now, 99% of them will support him until the end.
Christians isn’t a monolithic entity, the way the headline pretends. There’s liberal Christians and conservative Christians. Hell, there’s an LGBTQ church down the street from here with a trans pastor and a church trauma support group.
i.e. Not all Christians love what Trump has done and not all Christians hate that he’s selling bibles.
So called “liberal Christians” just enable the fascist ones.
ACAB.
How?
Limit? No, trigger.
Please pass the popcorn.
