President Donald Trump holds a Bible in Washington in June 2020. He's now encouraging his supporters to buy a Bible he's partnered with, but not the one he's holding in this picture. to say he’s “not religious” than “very religious.” He goes to churches for political rallies far more often than he goes for services. He says the Bible is his favorite book, though he generallyMakes sense that he’d like his own book, given how much money he’s made off it over the years.
The promoted Bible has not only the standard books, but also a few additions including the Constitution , the Pledge of Allegiance and, as the webpage touts, the “andwritten chorus to ‘God Bless The USA’ by Lee Greenwood.” It was originallyThat was then. The current website for the book includes an FAQ that addresses the question of how the former president benefits from the partnership. It assures visitors that no money from the sale of the Bibles will go to Trump’s political campaign.
“That’s why our country is going haywire: We’ve lost religion in our country,” Trump says in the video hyping his new partnership. “All Americans need a Bible in their home and I have many. It’s my favorite book.” At another point, he insists that Christians are “under siege” and that “we have to protect anything that is pro-God.”, he’s presented similar warnings and promises: Christianity is under threat, and he will be its relentless defender.

Perhaps he simply wants Americans to have a Bible in-hand on the most sacred of Christian holidays.“The God Bless The USA Bible is printed in limited-edition quantities,” it reads. “Most orders ship within 4-6 weeks of the time ordered. Your order will ship as it becomes available, and we will make reasonable efforts to ship your order as quickly as possible.
