Get Your Trump Bible!
Get Your Trump Bible! God became lonely during Covid 19 when so many churchgoers lost their faith and left worship pews to the cobwebs. But now God has a chamption. Former and future president Donald J. Trump is campaining on behalf of God. Mr. Trump has endorsed God for the office of “that than which nothing greater can be conceived.”
For less than $60 you and I can buy God’s Holy Word with a Donald J. Trump autograph. That autograph carries such weight that we can expect believers to storm our church doors and demand to sing in the choir.
If you get your Trump Bible, you can celebrate “God Bless the USA” with Lee Greenwood, who sings that he’s proud to be an American. If elected, Trump promises to “protect God in the public square,” defend Christian broadcasters and their “pro-God” content from censorship, and appoint a task force to fight anti-Christian bias, including federal prosecutions. Will Christian nationalists like this?
Now, we know that Mr. Trump claims to be master of the art of the deal. In exchange for his endorsement — “Get Your Trump Bible!” — what must God offer in exchange? Mmmmm?
After a Mara Lago meeting with Tik Tok investor Jeff Yass, Mr. Trump endorsed Tik Tok. How much did this cost Mr. Yass?
How much will “Get Your Trump Bible!” cost God? A miracle?
