A few days before Easter, former US President Donald Trump, who was facing liquidity problems due to numerous legal proceedings, announced the sale of a Bible that he had specially sponsored.
The Republican presidential candidate announced on his online platform Truth Social on Tuesday that his “favorite book” can be purchased for $59.99. The Bible copies would be sold in partnership with well-known conservative country musician Lee Greenwood, whose hit “God Bless the USA” is played at every Trump campaign rally.
The proceeds will not be used for his election campaign
“Religion and Christianity are the two things this country misses the most,” Trump says in the three-minute video on Truth Social. In it, he also calls for “giving America back its faith” – an allusion to his campaign slogan “Make America Great Again”.
The copies of the Bible are offered on a website whose operators advertise that it is “the only Bible promoted by Donald Trump.” However, the organization points out that proceeds from Bible sales will not be used to finance Trump’s campaign.
In 2020, Trump posed with a Bible in front of an Anglican church that was previously damaged during anti-racism protests. He had himself photographed in front of the church with the Bible in his hand. This immediately caused intense criticism. (AFP)
