    Entertaining little article.


    <Snip>
    The Bible is branded with “a vertical reversed American flag design that represents a country in distress,” with “We the People” in large letters at the bottom and “Holy Bible” stuck in the left corner in a much smaller font. It uses the King James translation, which the website claims “is ideal for the patriots who believe it is time to give America back to God, and features copies of America’s founding documents.”

    Funny because 1) you’re using a British translation of the Bible and 2) quite a few of those documents establish the separation of Church and State.

    Has anyone been forced to buy it? Is it being subsidized with public funds?

    first the NFTs, now this?

    I do have a feeling this is another way to launder money, could be wrong, but will Trump's charities buy this book, thus the donations are funneled into the Trump's bank accounts, time will tell

    It was a rhetorical question with the answer obviously being 'no'... but since you seem to think its possible, how do you imagine it might work that anyone would be forced to buy a Bible from Trump?

    No one was forced to invest with Bernie Madoff, that didn't make what he did right.

    You give Trump money and get something worthless in return.

    Greed knows no bounds. Trump will always “need” money no matter how much he already has.

    Simply amazing. This core "group" that will buy this, including the foreign money "funnels", Russian/Chinese and El Saud dark money abound.
    Checkmate..

    Worthless to you. Surely you're not so conceded to presume that only your values matter...?

    You think that a version of the King James Bible and a copy of the Constitution is worth $70?
    I can get both for less than $20...hell, I could probably get them for free.

    Furthermore there is the grift of Trump selling a copy of the Bible and a copy of the Constitution. Two items that he obviously does not believe in.

    Not worth $70 to me, no. But that doesnt mean its a scam or fraudulent as your comparison to an actual ponzi scheme suggests. People buy and sell **** that I think is worthless all the time. That doesnt make it wrong.
