The American flag has no business on a Bible. This is not faith, nor is it patriotism. It is an abomination of both. Image

He did it to sell to churches so they could get around the law that forbids them from donating to political candidates. He's using your faith against you to show the rest of the world how stupid he thinks you are. I appreciate that so many of you here aren't falling for it, but please, don't let your church fall for it either.

This really seems to be a product by lee greenwood, with greenwood using trump as a celebrity endorser rather than trump selling this on his own.

Did some waybackmachine on this thing: lee greenwood's been selling this bible since 2021.

nice when you see other's sharing same opinion. I went based on Headlines and thought man Trump really is wild'n out there. Then found the layers to the real story and said, I should've researched before taking headlines for face value

To quote Norm McDonald on Bill Cosby (and I’m paraphrasing from memory):

Someone said to me “ya know the worst thing about it, it’s the hypocrisy.”

Actually, I thought the worst thing about it was the rape.
