All Americans need a Bible in their home

you hear that Buddhists, Hindus and any non-religious folk. Get back in your LANE!

We the People of the United States of America deserve better.

the Evangelical right doesn’t give two hoots what folk not them think they deserve.

"All Americans need a Bible in their home and I have many -- it's my favorite book," he said, telling supporters: "We must Make America Pray Again" in a play on his campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

The tax-free, prosperity-gospel peddling, mega church Christian nationalism is a figurative cancer on the US.

And metastasizing to other nations aided by prominent authoritarians and corporate money.

But like in the case of Trump and his Bibles, it can also be grotesquely hilarious.

The man 'rarely' - more than likely never - goes to church and could probably not quote one verse from the bible. If you're easily led by the nose, as pretty much all of his followers are, this will seem like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let 'em go ahead. A fool and his (or her) money are soon parted and The Donald will be more than happy to do his part and collect from fools.

The TRUMP BIBLE!? Snake-oil doesn't come more rancidly sacrilegious than this MAGA-MAPA Whopper at $59.99. from the old, orange Beelzebub.

Nothing to see here, right Bass?

Nothing at all. This is totally ****normal.

Yes, we are Judea-Christian society

We the People of the United States of America deserve better.

Yes, and that’s why I’m not voting for Biden, ever.

you hear that Buddhists, Hindus and any non-religious folk. Get back in your LANE!

No, they can do as they wish and worship as they like as well.

*the Evangelical right doesn’t give two hoots what folk not them think they deserve.*

I think it’s safe to say that the left don’t speak for none of us. Relax.

The tax-free, prosperity-gospel peddling, mega church Christian nationalism is a figurative cancer on the US. 

Why? Because I believe we only have 2 genders?

And metastasizing to other nations aided by prominent authoritarians and corporate money. 

Well, atheists do the same for their causes, it goes both ways.

But like in the case of Trump and his Bibles, it can also be grotesquely hilarious. 

And in that condescending note is why Trump’s poll numbers continue to grow.

as long as they have a Bible in their house, as all Americans should.

Ok, now you’re just over-embellishing to a new degree.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is selling Bibles ahead of the Easter holiday, encouraging his supporters to "Make America Pray Again" and buy what he describes as his "favorite book."

That's got to be a John Stewart joke, right? Trump's favorite book? ROFLX2....

The 77-year-old Republican presidential candidate, who counts conservative Evangelical Christians among his staunchest supporters, is selling the Bibles -- which contain the unusual addition of the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence -- for $59.99.

"Buy two within the next hour and we'll throw in a Stormy Daniels tape for free"....

24 ( +28 / -4 )

Isn't that the picture where he is holding the Bible upside down?

*"All Americans need a Bible in their home and I have many -- it's my favorite book,"*

I rolled my eyes so hard I saw the back of the inside of my skull.

The last resort of a scoundrel, version 2024.

21 ( +24 / -3 )

Grifters gonna grift.

We love God.

I can imagine how he went on: "Oh, yes, we love God. He's a great God, a big, beautiful God, like nothing in the sky. He came up to me, I had tears in my eyes, he is so great. Maybe not the greatest, but great."

20 ( +22 / -2 )

"All Americans need a Bible in their home and I have many -- it's my favorite book,"

Incredible that he didn’t know how to correctly read the name his ‘favourite book’ of the Bible - much to the amusement of an audience of Christians.

Trump selling Bibles.

Jesus wept.

21 ( +24 / -3 )

You really don’t understand what he said, do you, Bass?

let me translate for you. If you don’t have a Bible in your house you’re not a real American. That’s what he said, Bass.

You really don’t understand what he said, do you, Bass?

I do.

let me translate for you. If you don’t have a Bible in your house you’re not a real American.

Most Americans disagree.

That’s what he said, Bass.

I think as with most liberals are taking it all out of context as usual, relax.

Liz Cheney roasted The Don today...

Instead of selling Bibles, you should probably buy one,” Cheney wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, in response to a screenshot of Trump's Bible pitch on Truth Social. “And read it, including Exodus 20:14,” Cheney added, referring to the verse that commands, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”

Taking nothing whatsoever out of context.

why do you think none of us have ever seen a Pastor Hagee sermon?

 The woke left jokes will practically write themselves, lol

A Christian audience laughed in his face or sniggered to themselves when he couldn’t correctly read the name his ‘favourite book’ of the Bible.

He made them laugh more than ‘woke left’ comedians.

Then the meltdown will be that much greater when The Don becomes next POTUS

A bit early to be getting hysterical. Too early to say the walls have closed in on either candidate.

That said, Biden is closing in on Trump in many polls recently.

Still a long way to go but worth keeping an eye on the polls. Bookies also cutting Biden’s odds.

Interesting.

10 ( +13 / -3 )

Maybe he will learn a single quote from it. Or maybe how not to hold it upside down and backwards.

To be fair, he’d probably never seen or held one before.

"Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country," he said, compelling viewers to "protect content that is pro-God. We love God.

JC railed against the Pharisees interpretation of Gospel

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/americas-first-post-text-president/549794/

And given that Trump doesn't read ; his interpretation of the Bible probably comes from televangelists like Kenneth Copeland who campaigns for him and begs his followers for donations for a second private jet to "spread the gospel".

Methinks this latest venture going the way of Trump Air, Trump steaks, Trump whiskey, Trump University....

All very successful ventures ....apparently.

And yes, evangelicals are weird.

Blessed are the grifters, for they shall “inherit” everyone else’s wealth.

Book of Don 1:1

14 ( +18 / -4 )

a guy who, when asked, could not recite a single verse, is selling freedom bibles.

15 ( +17 / -2 )

So Trump is selling bibles and saying it's his favorite book...

While at the same time saying he is OK with murdering babies until the 15th week...

Yep, no contradiction there...right Evangelicals?

13 ( +15 / -2 )

It seems that Trump's life has been anything but Biblical.

16 ( +17 / -1 )

*All Americans should have a Bible in their house.*

*NOT *all followers of the Abrahamic tradition, Bass. *All Americans.*

How do you mistranslate that?

14 ( +16 / -2 )

Liz Cheney roasted The Don today..

Who?

So Trump is selling bibles and saying it's his favorite book...

Could be.

While at the same time saying he is OK with murdering babies until the 15th week...

In the case of saving a mother’s life, rape or incest yes, most Christians understand this. But at the same time, liberals abhor the death penalty but ok with killing babies.

Yep, no contradiction there...right Evangelicals?

Or the Atheists, right?

-20 ( +5 / -25 )

Trump has never read the bible, because he's not in it.

18 ( +21 / -3 )

Real respectable guy the Republicans are fielding as their candidate.

10 ( +16 / -6 )

Liz Cheney roasted The Don today..

Who?

Fellow Republican...

So Trump is selling bibles and saying it's his favorite book...

Could be.

Might not be...

While at the same time saying he is OK with murdering babies until the 15th week...

In the case of saving a mother’s life, rape or incest yes, most Christians understand this. But at the same time, liberals abhor the death penalty but ok with killing babies.

So you've flipped and no longer believe life begins at conception...that's a Mega-MAGA-flip...

Yep, no contradiction there...right Evangelicals?

Or the Atheists, right?

I'm not an Atheist so I don't know - you've said you're an evangelical - so once again if life begins at conception why are you and Trump OK with killing babies until the 15th week?

Separation of church and state is not real in the USA?

13 ( +16 / -3 )

WasabiToday 11:21 am JST

Separation of church and state is not real in the USA?

Trump's a private citizen and if there is a god in heaven will remain so.

Fellow Republican...

Could be…

So you've flipped

No

and no longer believe life begins at conception...that's a Mega-MAGA-flip...

I already explained my position and that of most conservatives.

I'm not an Atheist so I don't know -

or agnostic but not a believer, doesn’t matter, either way, it boils down to the same thing.

Perhaps, for $59.99 he should have included an audiotape.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is selling Bibles ahead of the Easter holiday, encouraging his supporters to "Make America Pray Again" and buy what he describes as his "favorite book."

MAGA illiterates will believe this.

How many jackasses in this world think they're Christian, think they're Muslim, think they're you-name-your-religion with positive, loving teachings, but act nothing like it? I'm guessing it's over 1 billion.

Nobody with an IQ over 84 thinks Trump is a good Christian, and nobody with an IQ over 86 thinks he's a Christian at all.

14 ( +17 / -3 )

The hypocrisy of it all!

15 ( +17 / -2 )

While I love the Bible and think it would be better if Western society returned to its biblical roots I think this will backfire on Trump.

People don't like to have morality, Christian, liberal or any other, shoved down thier throats.

Trump selling....

Of course he is giving all the money to charity, right? Right?

11 ( +14 / -3 )

The penultimate snake oil salesman.

15 ( +17 / -2 )

Trump's a private citizen

Was he when the picture, from this article, was taken?

9 ( +11 / -2 )

Nobody with an IQ over 84 thinks Trump is a good Christian,

I don’t question anyone’s faith, that’s between them and the almighty. I wouldn’t know, not going to guess.

and nobody with an IQ over 86 thinks he's a Christian at all.

A lot of people say that about President 44, but for some reason the hypocritical left go nuts if you question that, why?

This businessman, who is not a conventional politician by any measure, could sell ice to the Eskimos and make money!

They will go up in value and be worth more come this Nov/Jan.

Trump selling....

Of course he is giving all the money to charity, right? Right?

You’d think so.

Trump says he’s loaded with cash. He certainly doesn’t need it according to him.

Selling Bibles for personal profit does come across as kind of disrespectful, even grotesque, if you actually believe the principles of what Jesus taught.

I see it as just another book but believing Christians don’t.

14 ( +17 / -3 )

They will go up in value and be worth more come this Nov/Jan.

Because that’s the point of spreading religion, eh?

Hey, maybe if he paired them with some of those cheap gold sneakers???

11 ( +13 / -2 )

Definitive proof he has absolutely no shame.

12 ( +15 / -3 )

Not many things more pathetic than this obvious ploy to get the bible bashers on side. But those who cannot see this qualify. A really sad example of "democracy" in action.

4 ( +8 / -4 )

Pretty lame, but I'd still vote for him over Biden in a heartbeat.

-14 ( +4 / -18 )

and buy what he describes as his "favorite book."

I don't see how it can be his favorite when he can't read it and understand it.

10 ( +13 / -3 )

Because that’s the point of spreading religion, eh?

That is happening already with or without Trump.

Hey, maybe if he paired them with some of those cheap gold sneakers???

And going up in price and value, looking forward!!!

-14 ( +2 / -16 )

I don't see how it can be his favorite when he can't read it and understand it.

He likes the Ten Commandments. Uses it as a checklist, included it in his list of achievements during his failed stint as the boss.

5 ( +8 / -3 )

Trump goes from MAGA to MAPA. I doubt Trump even attends church every Sunday. Biden does that much. This shameful man would sell his sole to the devil except he's already done that one.

Has Trump read a single page of the Bible?

Trump supports abortions even if limited to 15 weeks.

8 ( +10 / -2 )

Find and replace God for Trump in the Bible and call it the New Trump Bible. It will sell millions of copies to his base.

Hey, maybe if he paired them with some of those cheap gold sneakers???

For now. Like all Trump exploits, it’s going to zero. But not before he milks his loyal rubes.

Pathetic.

He likes the Ten Commandments.

He hasn’t done very well with following some of them though.

10 ( +12 / -2 )

Trump excludes all the other religions.

@Strangerland Stacking the Supreme Court was proof enough.

Trump is a Bible-bashing president, don't vote for him.

“It’s my favorite book!”

Another lie as clearly the compilation of Hitler’s speeches is his favorite book.
