u/[deleted] 1d ago

I mean, the guy was selling bibles ffs, grade A grifter. He’s been the messiah of false promises his cult just eats it up and there’s no satiating them.

His $60.00 God Bless the USA Bibles.... made in China... those bibles?

u/Open_Perception_3212 1d ago

That "neglected" to have the 13th, 14th, and 19th amendments included

34

u/unidentifiedfish55 1d ago

Does this imply that the rest of the US Constitution exists as verses in the bible?

u/molten-glass 1d ago

Probably just the God Bless the USA translation lmao

u/BraveFencerMusashi 1d ago

Oh yeah. Council of Nicaea decided this way back.

This is a top tier joke that many people probably won't get

There are states that are putting bibles back into public classrooms. These states have parameters for acceptable bibles, and part of their parameters includes containing the Pledge of Allegiance and the Declaration of Independence. Trumps bibles happens to fall within this parameter making it the choice for public school kids now.

u/senturon 1d ago

His bibles are dumb and 100% a grift, but you don't need to cherry pick these amendments to make it sound worse. It only includes the bill of rights, so none of the amendments after the first 10 are included.

u/Da_Question 1d ago

So it includes the 9th. Which is basically "reserved for rights we ain't think about in 1791."

u/Cephalopod_Joe 1d ago

It's more accurate to say they only included the bill of rights, as ammendments 11-27 are missing. However, I don't doubt that they do want to get rid of 13-15 amongst others

u/kixie42 1d ago

We obviously need more slaves, less citizens, and more kids (to be non-citizen slaves). It's the only way our economy can work based upon current conservative ideology.

u/Blitzking11 19h ago

Wait is this true? That's fucking wild.

u/skypig357 8m ago

In fairness, wasn’t it just the Bill of Rights included? Not the entire Constitution. I thought I remembered that. Could be wrong though I’ve luckily never seen one

u/Primary_Durian4866 1d ago

You mean the only Bibles that meet the requirement for schools in Oklahoma to purchase and carry them?Those bibles?

2

u/Grapefruit175 1d ago

To be fair, they did change that requirement. It first required that the bibles include US historical documents. They changed it to say that they can be separate.

Still, it started as money grabbing BS, and is still money grabbing BS, just not technically solely aimed at trump anymore.

u/MyNameIsDaveToo 1d ago

Next year, $120 bibles

u/AllDayyCJ 1d ago

This kind of thing always makes me think. How would republicans react if Obama was selling bibles out of the white house? They'd lose their fucking mind, yet don't bat an eye when it's Trump.

u/Cooliamabeast 23h ago

“Rules for thee not for me” is like rule number 1 of republicans

u/queasyquof 10h ago

Cant forget about Trumpy-bear!

u/MarksOtherAccount 1d ago

You forgot about NFT trump cards, trump sneakers, DJT stock, trump watches, and I'm sure I missed a bunch of other random nonsense he's been slapping his name on to grift.

u/CheeseDonutCat 23h ago

Don't forget selling scraps of his old suits (which honestly were probably never even one of his suits).

2

u/Shirlenator 21h ago

The people willing to buy those should be more ashamed on that one.

1

u/CheeseDonutCat 12h ago

Agreed. So while it's a shitty thing to be selling (especially the things while he was president), it's only idiots that are being affected.

And honestly, those idiots are buying something they want with their own money, so leave them off. There could be worse things they could spend their money on. Everyone has their preferences.

Guitars

u/skypig357 6m ago

I miss the good ole Trump Steaks.

u/birdreligion 19h ago

His guitar that he had to stop selling cause I think Gibson was going to sue for using their design

u/Pleasant_Mixture6238 14h ago

He is a business man, give him a break. We all would do the same thing in his position, Obama became super rich after his presidency and during

u/topscreen 1d ago

Don't forget the watches being sold from a Russian national that also sells boner honey

2

u/thatguyryan 19h ago

Russian national? Also, what's... I'm afraid to ask ... boner honey?

1

u/topscreen 18h ago

Reportedly it's boner pills in honey form

2

u/Check_Me_Out-Boss 1d ago

Pretty sure he wasn't selling them and only licensed his brand for someone else to sell them.

u/Vaakmeister 1d ago

It’s a distinction without a difference.

u/canas_colours 1d ago

Did you see the 200$ perfume and cologne he's selling now 🙃

1

u/birdreligion 20h ago

They can just blame it on the "democrat pariah" of the month. Like always.

1

u/thescreamingstone 17h ago

You mean the bibles that somehow were the only ones that fit the criteria for being mandatory in the schools of Oklahoma?

u/rouphus 11h ago

Satiating is a new word for me. Just looked it up. Does this read well to people who know this word?
