Former PresidentĀ Donald Trumpās latest ventureĀ selling BiblesĀ has sparked the fury of Christians.
Trump, who became the presumptiveĀ RepublicanĀ nominee earlier in March, posted a video on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday urging his supporters to buy the āGod Bless the USA Bible,ā inspired by country singer Lee Greenwoodās patriotic ballad.
āHappy Holy Week! Letās 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,ā Trump wrote in the post, alongside a link to a website selling the book for $59.99. It came a day afterĀ Trump seemingly compared his legal plight to Jesus Christās 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.
You do realize a lot of Christians/Catholics donāt 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 youāre a āChristianā and youāre not at least a socialist if not a full blown Communist then youāre a fraud.
OKā¦ I was just explaining why some Christians donāt like Trump selling bibles. Iām not sure why your being so toxic.
When you donāt like the truth so you just say itās toxic.
Fucking hell, dude.
