Imagine a special offer tailor-made for those who bleed the colors of the American flag, who bow their heads in prayer, and stand unwaveringly on the right: the chance to own a Bible endorsed by none other than Donald Trump himself, available for the patriotic price of $59.99. This unique pitch is Trump’s latest venture into the world of merchandise, essentially stamping the presidential seal of approval on this holy book.
After being pegged as the probable Republican contender, Trump took to his favorite platform, Truth Social, to make an announcement. He called upon his loyal followers to secure their copy of the “God Bless the USA Bible,” a nod to the stirring anthem by Lee Greenwood. This song, synonymous with Trump’s dramatic rally entrances and his camaraderie with Greenwood at events, underscores the Bible’s patriotic appeal.
In a heartfelt post, Trump declared, “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.” He then directed his audience to where they could purchase this special edition for $59.99.
This move to market Bibles comes at a juncture when Trump’s financial burdens are mounting, with legal challenges and accusations amassing at his doorstep.
In a candid moment, Trump shared, “All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many. It’s my favorite book,” underscoring his endorsement of the Bible and his mission to rekindle faith across America.
But Trump’s entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t end with Bibles. Just last month, he launched an exclusive line of luxury sneakers, featuring “Never Surrender” gold high-tops retailing at $399. Through his 45Footwear venture, Trump has expanded his brand to include not just footwear but also fragrances.
The Bible’s webpage makes it clear, “it is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign,” distancing the religious text from Trump’s political endeavors.
It’s worth recalling Trump’s eclectic business past, from hawking frozen steaks to vodka, culminating in the controversial Trump University, which faced legal scrutiny for fraud.
In this latest venture, Trump isn’t just selling a Bible; he’s offering a piece of American pride, wrapped in the stars and stripes, inviting his followers to own a symbol of faith and patriotism, all while navigating the choppy waters of legal and financial woes.
