Take a Wild Guess on Where Trump’s “God Bless the USA” Bible Is From
Donald Trump’s “God Bless the USA” Bibles weren’t actually made in the USA, it seems—they were printed in China. The Associated Press reports that a Chinese printing company based in Hangzhou shipped 120,000 of the Bibles to the United States in February and March. Three separate shipments cost $342,000, averaging out to less than $3 per Bible. Trump is selling hand-signed copies of his branded Bible for $1,000, and the minimum price for an unsigned copy is $59.99, putting potential sales revenue at close to $7 million. Trump announced that he was selling the Bibles in partnership with country singer Lee Greenwood in a Truth Social video on March 26, and two days later, 70,000 Bibles arrived at the port of Los Angeles. The Bibles contain copies of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Pledge of Allegiance, and one version even memorializes the July 13 assassination attempt against the former president: Trump’s name is on the cover above the phrase, “The Day God Intervened,” likely stamped on after the Bible was printed. Trump has also been hawking assassination-themed sneakers for the last two months, and just like the Bibles, fans can shell out extra cash for hand-signed shoes. The former president and convicted felon is clearly trying to rake in as much cash as possible by having the Bibles printed in China, saving him the costs of paying American workers. An August financial report shows that he made $300,000 in royalties from the texts. Trump’s fans across the country are helping him out with his blatant grift, with the Oklahoma state superintendent requiring specific criteria for Bibles in the state’s public schools (already constitutionally questionable) that only Trump’s God Bless the USA Bible can fit. It’s telling that the Bibles are printed in China, which has long been attacked by Trump for hurting American businesses and taking American jobs. On the campaign trail, the former president has been touting his economic plan to institute tariffs against China and other countries. Would that include his Bibles? After all, Trump is all about “America First.”
