Weird, it skips right from the 13th amendment to the 15th in this version. And I can't find the emoluments clause anywhere.

The "King Trump Bible" it came to be known...

All things they've never read, or will ever read, after they purchase them.

"the only Bible endorsed by President Trump!"

So has never endorsed the Bible until he was selling one?

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".

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.

I'm just relieved there is a limit

Look, i can excuse the racism, having no clue what he's doing as a president, the rape allegations, he's super into minors, probably his own daughter, stealing and selling sensible documents, the nepotism, the lies, grifting his voters, swindling taxpayer money, not paying any fees ever, not paying for venues that he rents out, using his golf course to, again, steal taxpayer money, he might be a blatant russian asset, he's also way too much into dictators, he didn't furfill ANYof his campaign promises, selling beans from the oval office.

But selling an old ass novel about my imaginary sky daddy? You crossed the line there buckaroo.

Christians are not a homogeneous blob of identity. As you may or may not have guessed, these are not the far-right Christians who believe Trump is the Second Coming of Christ. They are not responsible for what other people who identify as Christians have done or said, and they are entitled to change their minds about things they themselves have done or said.

They are fully entitled to speak out against the weaponisation of their religion and good luck to those who are courageous enough to do so.

Hey, Christians are the ones who got the Sunny D Orangutan into the oval office the first time. Anything that separates Mr. Cheeto Smegma from his base is a good thing in my book.

Then they'll use it to bludgeon the rest of us.

Right? It's not, say, cheating on his pregnant wife with a prostitute? I would have thought THAT would be the thing that destroys his support among Christians, but nah, they don't care.

But selling overpriced Bibles does upset them? Why? It's probably the least insane thing he has done yet.

You do realize a lot of Christians/Catholics don't support Trump, right? Lots of Democratic leaders are Catholic, like Biden and Pelosi.

This whole grift is specifically set up to allow churches to donate money to him without breaking the law.

A sample size of a few dozen people complaining online while thousands quietly purchase said bibles. Absolutely not buying into "the fury of Christians" either.

There's already a prototype, and not a whiff of irony.

Their handlers (pastors, Fox News, OANN, etc) have made them genuinely terrified that everyone outside their echo-chamber are "baby-murdering, child-grooming, liberal perverts that want to force you to swear allegiance to the Beast of the End Times". Any attempt to validate those claims is not just treason, but literal religious heresy. I'm sure you don't need to be told, but I'll say it anyway: I am not exaggerating.

Even quoting their own scripture at them (because it absolutely disagrees with almost everything they stand for) is immediately disregarded... because remember: not doing as your told is the work of Satan, and "even the devil can quote scripture."

There is no redemption for people like that (see: Matthew 23:13).
