You could build a museum of failure to all the products Donald Trump has endorsed – products that either flopped, went bankrupt, or were outright swindles. Let’s see … catch me if I miss any – Trump Steaks, Trump: The Board Game, Trump Mattresses, Trump Vodka, Trump Ice Water, Trump shirts and ties, Trump video phones, Trump University, Trump trading cards, Trump sneakers …
So let’s see what new swindle Trump is fostering upon his gullible flock.
Well now. Apparently now there’s a Trump-endorsed Bible. Which you can purchase for the low, low price of $60.
Oh, but it’s not just a Bible. Apparently this Bible also contains the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance. Not sure where those are listed in Scripture, they must have been tucked into the verses between 1 Kings and 2 Kings.
Also … he’s selling this book for the low, low price of $60. Dude, you can check into any chain motel and there’s a Gideon Bible in the nightstand. For free. You can take it home with you if you want.
And in those moments, I’m reminded of a blog post I wrote four years ago … where Trump, in that now infamous stunt of attacking protestors with tear gas so he could stand in front of St. John’s Church with a Bible – with the wrong Biblical translation – and holding the book upside-down – it’s just a blatant case of hucksterism.
And Trump’s pontifications about how the Founding Fathers built this nation on Judeo-Christian principles – he probably didn’t notice that the Founding Fathers had this little thing called the First Amendment. You know, part of that Bill of Rights that Trump has wedged in every copy of his $60 swindle. Let me see if I can find it for you. Oh, wait. Here it is.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.“
But don’t take it from me. Take it from another Republican politician.
And if you’re scratching your head over what Exodus 20:14 says, I’ll help you out.
“Thou shalt not commit adultery.“
You know … as in sleeping around on Wife #1 with who would eventually be Wife #2, then cheating on Wife #2 with who would eventually be Wife #3, then cheating on Wife #3 with an adult film actress …
So … let’s take something into consideration. Perhaps Donald Trump actually DID read the Bible at one point or another in his lifetime. I mean, he definitely used it as a photo-op prop.
But maybe … just maybe … there IS a verse in the Bible that can explain Donald Trump’s faith and dedication to the Lord.
It’s Psalms 3:16. Heck, I even wrote a blog post about it ten years ago, three years before Donald Trump became President. So … maybe that makes me a bit prescient about the guy. You don’t know. Maybe it does.
But at the end of the day … after all that could happen with this new Trump financial siphon … it’s honestly just another way for him to fleece the flock. Another way for a self-proclaimed billionaire to take money from those less fortunate, to purchase an overpriced Bible that – by the way – is advertised as taking four to six weeks for delivery.
Just another cheap, half-assed huckster trick.
But maybe, in the end, Psalms 3:16 will explain all. I’m sure it’s in Trump’s Bible somewhere …

It is the epitome of blasphemy & hypocrisy for Trump to peddle something he can’t be bothered to actually read. A church is anathema to him, which explains why his daughter, Tiffany, had her wedding at Mar-a-Lame-O last year.
