Trump Celebrates Holy Week by Selling $60 Bibles

[old dog]

That term is commie speak designed to demonize Christians. Walking on eggshells to avoid it is letting the commies win before you start.

Onward Christian soldiers marching to lose the election with honor.

What's wrong with earning money?

The business of America is business.

Trump has millions in lawyers fees and bonds to pay that were caused by far left Democratic Socialist and Marxist loons using the courts to try to break him financially and prevent him from running for president. He has every right to fight those who are attempting to destroy him.

It appears they have failed and Trump has won.

I think we ordered our "God Bless the USA" Bible way back in early December. We finally got it in the mail this month! It was backordered because Mr Greenwood didn't anticipate the increased demand and sold out. His update letters to us assured us we would soon be getting ours, as we had ordered "early". Demand increased so much that Mr Greenwood underestimated his replacement order also, so there are a lot of people still waiting for yet the next printing.

And Yeah, I gots me Trump signs, and Trump hats, and Trump flags, and Trump coins. I'ma even thinkin' I might spring for that flag hugging bobblehead too! I'm too old to jump, so gold shoes are out.

Mr Trump gets something of value, and I get something of value. Isn't capitalism great?!!!

But @Prof. Dilettante , you might want to check your sources. When we bought ours, last year, it was $59.99, over $71.94 with shipping and taxes. And nowhere did it say "endorsed by Trump", nor does it have any Trump signature, or any indication whatsoever that it is a "Trump" special edition or that Trump receives any royalties. I notice all the hype still says $59.99 or $60. If the Bible has always been $59.99, and Trump is now getting any piece of that, then that is a campaign donation from Mr Greenwood. I'm kinda sorta thinking you have been duped by the MSM and their "fake news". Nice try, though.

That link is to the official Lee Greenwood merchandise page. I don't see Mr Trump's name anywhere there. The Bible is large print, so us oldsters can read it. I recommend it, and I don't get any consideration from Mr Greenwood for my recommendation. See how that works?

Oh, I gots this for you too. The only mention of Trump I can find is on this page.

About | Lee Greenwood

Mr Greenwood was appointed to the National Endowment for the Arts Council by President G. W. Bush. That appointment continued through the Trump Presidency (thus the mention) until that mean assed Joe Biden kicked him off.

And Democrats call Trump mean? Joe Biden is probably the meanest damned occupant of the White House ever. You and the rest of the MSM all seem bent out of shape for Trump selling his brand? What have the Bidens been doing? What did China get out of that deal?

Cuz two hands is all I gots.

Here is some early history of the project.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...out-god-bless/

In addition to the Lee Greenwood website where we ordered ours, there is now another website where you can order, which does include the likeness and endorsement by President Trump. But, the price is the same, and the website linked below, when asked if any money is going to the Trump campaign, says "No, GodBlessTheUSABible.com is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign. GodBlessTheUSABible.com is not owned, managed or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Ventures LLC or any of their respective principals or affiliates. GodBlessTheUSABible.com uses Donald J. Trump’s name, likeness and image under paid license from CIC Ventures LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms."

The licensing fee is not mentioned, so we don't know what that is. CIC Ventures LLC is owned by Trump, so we can assume Mr Trump gets something out of the deal, but we also know Mr Trump uses Lee Greenwood's music to start each of his rallies. This may be a case of Lee Greenwood getting license to use a likeness or image, and Donald J Trump getting license to use music, tit for tat. But we don't know, and it doesn't look like either are gonna say.

In any case, the MSM going all in with Trump hawking bibles to further his campaign or improve his financial basis is totally without merit. I have looked at as many of the MSM and AP reports I care to, and not one of them can source any agreement or payments. Being that the Bible is for sale at the Lee Greenwood official website, and now a separate website showing Trump's likeness and endorsement, is exactly the same price, my bet is this arrangement is a "you scratch my back and I'll scratch your back" type of arrangement. I seriously doubt Mr Trump receives any money out of this deal.

Details don't matter politically, optics matter.

i dont care if it was trumps company selling the bibles...


books are sold to those that want to buy them. nothing new or outrageous there.

[Physics Hunter]

Biden called us Bitter clingers to Guns and Religion...
Hillary called us a Basket of Deplorables for calling perverts, perverts...
Trump lends his popularity to selling a Bible!

Clear enough for me. I'm good with it.

I searched to find out how much bibles sell for at Barnes And Noble book store.

I never realized there are so many different types of bibles.

Prices range from $7.99 all the way up to $39.99 and there are 20 different bibles offered.
