    It would seem the Christians are not happy with him shilling politically slanted bibles

    From CNN:

    Responses to Trump’s social media announcement called the endorsement “sacrilege,” “heresy” and “borderline offensive” and cite lessons directly from the Bible that suggest taking advantage of people’s faith for money should be condemned.

    “It is a bankrupt Christianity that sees a demagogue co-opting our faith and even our holy scriptures for the sake of his own pursuit of power and praise him for it rather than insist that we refuse to allow our sacred faith and scriptures to become a mouthpiece for an empire,” said Rev. Benjamin Cremer on X.

    Jason Cornwall, a pastor from South Carolina, said on X that Trump’s Bible endorsement was a violation of one of the Ten Commandments of the Hebrew Testament that forbids taking God’s name in vain.

    "It’s also raised questions about Trump’s motivations..."

    When you question a Patriot simply trying to make a buck off his fellow Americans you side with Commies.

    I have to confess that I find it very difficult to laugh at that----it is far too real
