Trump has long blasted China's trade practices. His 'God Bless the USA' Bibles were printed there

Trump has united the worst of televangelism, evangelism and American revivalism with politics. Quite a feat.
Can't wait to read the Trump Bible where he mocks the infirm and palsied, defrauds the tax collectors and pays off the prostitutes.
MAGA.

If his Chinese tariffs are introduced the $3 bible will sell for $90. Trump is a crook: felon and sexual abuser.
Whatever happened to Trump's "Made in America"? Hypocrite.
What happened to Trump following the Ten Commandments?
"Thou Shalt Not Lie."
Desert Tortoise
Classic Donald Trump flim-flam.

"Trump" Bibles being made in Godless China - for $3 a piece...which he then sells for $60...
Shameless huckster...and his supporters still cheer him on...
MAGA-world is nothing but a sick, radical, dangerous cult...

Snake oil salesman.

Trump's gold sneakers, $100,000 gold watch, cologne, and the bible.

Not at all surprising, sadly. Utterly shameless.

I wonder how, when presented with this evidence, the Trump minions will deal with the cognitive dissonance? Just what would make them see him for what he really is? Maybe a good shaking.

A consummate fraudster but it works with his base. Is there any commandment Trump hasn't broken?

No comments from the MAGA gang.

MAGA is a cult following. Reality means nothing to them. Worse are the Republican sychophant politicians who continue to enable Trump, without realizing that he has effectively destroyed the Republican Party.

And what is the problem with that? In fact one has strictly to tell in the case of China between business and economic ties and the 90% normal and neutral people, and on the other side CCP and military top brass' inner and foreign politics. Many books and consumer and industrial goods in general are produced in China and sold globally to everyone, because of low costs and sufficient quality. They don't make differences in China to whom they can sell or who orders and pays. A few Bibles for Trump? Quran exemplars despite being against Uighurs? Army patches with Ukraine and Russian design? Israel flags, Palestine keffiyeh , old Nazi silver coins? No problem, they sell everything that brings cash in, even if contradicting. Live and let live, that applies here, and Trump is a business man who probably thinks so too. Whatever the official big conflicts are, but in fact US and China too have many millions of people's mouths to feed somehow, every single day, all year round.

A logical and great point, and I guess those saint criticizing DJT for the Bibles need to look the labels of their own clothing, from underwear, socks etc.

The sheer brilliance of "God Bless the USA" bibles being commissioned by an adulterous Russian asset, thief and traitor and printed in China for sale to gullible Americans who can barely read.

Another Trump bashing article with no substance. The media are scraping their limits.

RFK and Tulsi Gabbard are on the Trump train, being disappointed with what the current Democrat party has become. Are they MAGA "cult followers"?

I buy a lot of things made in China.
The difference between me and 45 is that I’m not a hypocrite about it.
TaiwanIsNotChina
They are MAGA loons, certainly.

"I buy a lot of things made in China.

No, hypocrisy is not the difference but the real difference is DJT is very famous and you are not, therefore nobody cares what you buy that's the real difference.
ClippetyClop
Oh come on, lighten up. I realize that you don't really smile too often, since your profile pic is a succession of people that you loathe.
But even you must admit that an multi-adulterer, charity thief and draft dodger selling a book he has never read called 'God Bless the USA' that was made in China is a ludicrous state of affairs and worthy of a giggle?
Bob Fosse
No. Hypocrisy is the difference. I am trustworthy and he isn’t. Fame has nothing to do with it.
virusrex
How would you know if someone is famous or not from an account here? For all you know everybody else here could be famous, just not using that fame to comment.
Of course even if that were true that would not negate the fact that saying one thing while doing the opposite can validly be called hypocritical.

Such a hypocritical con man. He should be ashamed of himself, but he is incapable of shame.

Access to the cult support and their well funded corporate backers is a powerful incentive.
Their is no cash in leftism and atheism, though it is the most logical course.
As L Ron Hubbard said' If you want to be rich, start a religion '.
Or appeal to a corporate funded cult.

Are you really unaware that a large number of billionnaires (maybe a majority) and Big Tech are all funding the democrats? Do G eorge S oros, J eff Bezos, Zuckerberg, Google sound familiar? No, "corporate backers" has clearly nothing to do with it.
Fwiw, I never liked Trump as a person, but I always liked both RFK and Gabbard. They have both been clear and correct in their statements. Now, RFK as president, Gabbard as foreign secretary, and Musk in charge of the C I A... that would be a dream team. Trump could be press secretary.... ah dreaming

I think this is hilarious and I'm a Trump supporter!

RFK and Gabbard are now "MAGA loons"? When did that magical switch happen?
