Faith without morality or theology, much less that “soyboy” Jesus? Sign MAGA Republicans up!
Earlier this week, Donald Trump unveiled his newest grift to squeeze money out of his cult followers: Trump-branded Bibles. Claiming the book contains the “King James version” and “also includes the Founding Father [sic] documents,” Trump promised “you have to have it for your heart, for your soul.” The screenshots of the video are funny by themselves, but I highly recommend watching the ad Trump cut for these Bibles. Trump radiates total contempt for Christianity.
This is Trump in his angry-bored mode, letting viewers know with his listless tone and posture that he thinks all this Bible stuff is dumb. The not-at-all subtle message of the video is that Trump doesn’t believe any of this faith-in-God crap, but he definitely believes in using Christian identity as a weapon to make money and dominate his foes.
Many Trump opponents on social media replied with video clips underscoring how Trump may be the single most ignorant person in the country about the contents of the Bible.
It is not for the followers to buy, although they probably will buy some number of them. It is chiefly a money-laundering vehicle for people to channel money to Trump without it being an official contribution. It is an update to the tactic of mass purchases of conservative-politician books which no one is planning on reading.
He has started multiple money-laundering vehicles.
“Fathered” a few of them as well…
Ollie’s is full of books like that for exactly this reason.
Aaaahhh that’s why there’s so many of those weird garbage books there! You’d think those wouldn’t even be worth buying as rejects. There’s several at mine that I think have been there since they opened
