    so HE wrote them??? Did not know that. In that case, it is a totally different situation. Why wouldn't he "autograph" books that HE wrote??,,,,,and sell them.

    Trump is selling the original item under the title of "Make America Pray again". As if he is dictating that people should pray. Hmm. Maybe his followers will gain spiritual knowledge and inspiration from the bibles he sells and realize what a shyster he is. ( heck, they already know that and like it) To them , he is being enterprising. GREED is just fine. Trump is motivated by GREED ( for money and power) What does the Bible say about those qualities??
    A decent person with his wealth, would probably sell off some of his "babies" so he can pay his dues. But then a decent person would probably not get himself into the kind of mess he does.

    Do you think it is taht simple? Do you not think that God has a very good idea about the CHARACTER and MOTIVATION of Trump???
    But that is not even relavant. If you believe that selling the BIBLE for PROFIT and POLITICAL GAIN is ok............fine..... that is up to you.

    Did God tell you this about Trump? You sound like you are speaking for God. You should read Micah 6:8.

    You mortals, the Lord has told you what is good.

    This is what the Lord requires from you:

    to do what is right,

    to love mercy,

    and to live humbly with your God.

    God absolutely does know Trump's heart but the bigger question is do you know Trump as well as God does? And God doesn't mind people making a profit if in fact Trump is. Do you know what the overhead is?

    Do you think that Trump lives "humbly" and with his "God"???? Trump is a man of excesses that wealth brings. Golden toilets are not living 'humbly". Don't care how he spends his money etc....but no need to preach the bible / Jesus teachings to others when supporting this shyster. BRAGGING almost continuously about how rich he is and how wonderful he is , is NOT being humble . *unless the MAGA group have redefined those terms and values)

    Substitute Trump’s name for Carter’s name and read it that way without laughing.

    Why are you asserting the money goes to his campaign?

    Instead you make false accusations about me.

    I'm asserting that the money goes to Trump.

    Since a candidate is allowed to use his personal wealth with no limits on his own political campaign it could be considered the same thing.

    He isn't "providing" them, he is SELLING them.

    The devout are probably buying a dozen at a time! They’re great for gifts!
