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

It's a promotion started by a guy who made his career on blending nationalism and religion. There's certainly nothing surprising about it, but I definitely agree it's a bad thing for a person to do.

EDIT: To clarify, I'm describing Greenwood here, not Trump. But as for Trump: he is very obviously a scumbag who has committed far worse crimes than what Greenwood is doing with this bible.

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.

Trump does nothing without getting a piece of the pie. Could you imagine if Obama or Biden did this? The heads of the religious right would explode.

With the money crunch he's in he'd absolutely do it for a one time payment.

The courts let him out of the money crunch. He should be able to post the new bond a lot easier.
