Yesterday, former President of the United States of America, Donald “Papa Don” J. Trump is now hawking bibles. In the middle of Holy Week his starting to sell his “God Bless USA Bible” and it’s a disgusting enterprise.
Just imagine a politician is willing to do this and people are just accepting it. He has sold NFTs, Shoes and everything else under the sun. So, his just following a pattern of sticking his name and brand onto anything in hopes that it sells. However, this isn’t just a random commodity, but the holy scripture.
This is a religious text that many see as sacred. Yes, the Bible is a book and it is for sale in the bookshops across the world. It is given away by various of organizations and used for missionary works too. Nevertheless, that is usually not with the intent of profit, but spreading the good word.
This is done so the message is spread and the words of Christ is getting known. That the words of God get familiar and people get the ability to understand the scripture. This is the message and the reason for the average sale of bibles. It isn’t for a businessman, a con-man and a snake-oil salesman to make patriotic and make him look holy.
What Trump is doing is closer to blasphemy and soiling the holy book. Not only by adding various of legal and historical texts, which has nothing to do with the bible. The American Constitution and whatever else has nothing to do with this. Neither is his endorsement of it or the sale of it. That’s just a grift on spirituality. It is really flabbergasting that he does it and thinks he can get away with it. The Christian Evangelicals should be bothered and react, but we know they are so far down the rabbit hole. That they cannot save themselves from their master and overlord aka “Papa Don”.
You know there is no morals or understanding of faith from Trump when he does this. He just see it as another business deal and a possible way of getting his supporters to dole out more money. Because his in dire need of funds and have lots of expenditure coming his way. It isn’t like the last few months has been cheap and neither is the court cases stopping either. Therefore, he needs someone to fill his pockets and if people are stupid enough to buy shoes. Why not sell a bible too?
Seriously, this is insane. No God fearing man would do this. No one who believes in Christ and the salvation would see this as a path. No, this is a trick and a wicked one at that. It isn’t even funny, as his doing it in the middle of holy week. Nothing is sacred to Trump and its proven yet again.
This man has no bounds and no understanding of what other people believes in. As a Christian this is beyond repulsive and should be rebuked. It is a sacrilege and the holy scripture deserves better. Peace.
