Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he had released a new product, the Bible, one month after releasing his line of $399 gilded high tops. “All Americans need a bible in their home and I have many,” said the former president in a video promoting Lee Greenwood’s version Kim James translation of the “God Bless” Bible.
[[{“value”:”Donald Trump revealed on Tuesday a new item on Tuesday: the Bible, one month after releasing a line of gilded high-tops for$ 399. ” All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many”, the former president explained in a video promoting the country singer Lee Greenwood’s version of a Kim James translation, the” God Bless America Bible”.
” It’s my favorite book”, Trump added.
Trump swerved through numerous opportunities to criticize bureaucrats and a country in danger throughout the rest of the clip while promoting a holy text, as if daring us into a shared disgust.
However, his most recent sales pitch also sparked some reasonable inquiries. What the hell is happening, for example? And: Excuse me? Ok, we try to answer some of the queries.
But, that first question—what the hell—but more fully: What exactly is Trump promoting and how much will it cost me to shell out for this?
Trump is urging his supporters to purchase a Bible that Lee Greenwood and he have approved of. It costs$ 59.99, without taxes or shipping included. That appears to be on the more costly side of the Barnes & Noble sale of Bibles. But those books presumably do n’t include copies of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the handwritten lyrics to the chorus of Greenwood’s” God Bless America”.
The” God Bless American Bible” does include these items.
Trump is in a severe cash crunch. Will he profit from this Bible, then?
According to the book’s standard site, the God Bless the USA Bible has nothing to do with Trump’s campaign. It is” not owned, managed, or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Ventures LLC, or any of their respective principals or affiliates”. Instead, Trump’s “name, likeness, and image” are being used” under paid license from CIC Ventures LLC”.
Wait, what is CIC Venture LLC, while?
Okay, so CIC Ventures LLC is, according to the Washington Post, generally a pipeline to Trump:
In]Trump’s ] financial disclosure released last year, he’s identified as the]CIC Ventures LLC’s ] “manager, president, secretary and treasurer” and the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust is identified as a 100 percent owner of the business. The same entity also receives royalties from his book” A MAGA Journey” and speaking engagements.
In case it’s not currently clear: if you look at the company’s documents, you’ll find the main address for CIC Ventures LLC is 3505 Summit Boulevard, West Palm Beach, Florida. That is a Trump golf course. Also, in a 2022 disclosure, Nick Luna is listed as a manager. Luna was Trump’s private assistant and body man.
But, I’m sorry, but let me ask suddenly: Is Trump making money off this?
The New York Times reports that “according to a person familiar” ( classic ) Trump will receive royalties from sales.
You might have only stated that.
I wanted to let you know what else I discovered. Any additional questions?
Yes. Who is Lee Greenwood?
The country singer who wrote” God Bless the USA” Greenwood is a vengeful MAGA man who then made headlines after resigning from an NRA concert in protest of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
Does Greenwood have a cover that is curiously sexual for their Christmas album?
Yes. Look at this.
Great sweater. Anyhow, I feel like I’m experiencing deja vu. Has n’t Trump made headlines before with a Bible?
You’re likely recalling the vile photo op when Trump displayed a Bible in front of St. John’s Church, which had previously hosted racial justice demonstrations. Following that, it became a contentious question of whether or not Trump used the police to elude protesters and to enter the church. In the end, an Inspector General’s report determined that he did not.
Man, it’s really tough remembering all the terrible shit we went through with him as president.
Yep. If you always want to wallow in political depression, check out this quick compilation.
But wait. Was n’t there a time when Trump and the Bible made headlines for something so much more foolish?
Trump has definitely mentioned the Bible several times, which is why Christian nationalists adore him. However, you might be thinking about this amazing clip in which Trump attempts to name his favourite verse.
Has a candidate for president always collaborated with a country musician to sell divine texts?
Never to my knowledge. However, this is coming from a man who last week appeared to be comparing the persecution of Jesus Christ to his latest legal situation.

Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he had released a new product, the Bible, one month after releasing his line of $399 gilded high tops. “All Americans need a bible in their home and I have many,” said the former president in a video promoting Lee Greenwood’s version Kim James translation of the “God Bless” Bible.
The text consists of a series of symbols that do not have a clear meaning.
