A RARE documents dealer who is no great admirer of the Orange Clown put a Trump-signed Bible on sale this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gary Zimet told Business Insider<\/em><\/a> that his only interest in Trump is to make money out of him, and decided to offer the book for sale after the President\u2019s \u201crevolting\u201d behaviour in front of St John\u2019s Church in Washington in June. Protesters were cleared from an area outside the church with tear gas and rubber bullets\u00a0 so that Trump could hold up a Bible.<\/p>\n

The signed Bible is not the same one from Trump\u2019s St John\u2019s stunt, but nonetheless, it\u2019s a controversial item as it was signed just days after the uproar, said Zimet. He added:<\/p>\n

Someone like him, having the gall to sign a Bible, after what he did in the photo op is revolting.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Business Insider<\/em> reveals that there\u2019s a big demand for Trump memorabilia. Items such a signed impeachment papers have fetched prices in the tens of thousands, and the POTUS himself has even commented on the hot market for his signature.<\/p>\n

I sign things, and the next night, I see them on eBay. They\u2019re sold. They\u2019re sold for a lot of money.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zimet, 67, said he usually sources Trump-signed memorabilia from the meet-and-greets Trump holds before rallies. But this Bible, Zimet says, was brought into the White House by a contact of the dealer to be signed by Trump<\/p>\n

The only thing I\u2019m interested in, vis-\u00e0-vis Trump, is making a profit off of him.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zimet, who sell stuff through his Moments in Time<\/a> website, says he has a baseball signed by both Trump and Putin that\u2019s up for grabs for $25,000.<\/p>\n

He also guarantees the veracity of signature. He has dealt in letters and manuscripts for 42 years, and says:<\/p>\n

I know Trump\u2019s signature backwards and forwards.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The White House declined to comment on the authenticity of the Bible.<\/p>\n
