What’s he selling this week?

President Donald Trump holds a Bible as he visits outside St. John’s Church across Lafayette Park from the White House Monday, June 1, 2020, in Washington. More gold sneakers? Trump Steaks? Wine? Trump Cologne? A new casino? Reverse mortgages? No, this time the pitchman-in-chief has set his sights higher, as high as you can go, all the way to Heaven.

Wait a second? Donald Trump, a bible salesman? Isn’t that like casting Danny DeVito in “The Lebron James Story?” Perhaps, but given how many times Trump has had to put his hand on a Bible in court, maybe some of it soaked in through osmosis? It’s unclear if the former President is getting a percentage of sales, but his face is plastered all over Greenwood’s website, making Donald Trump the Mike Lindell of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Still, whatever coin he is or isn’t getting from the Good Book, he will more than make up for in donations as the 2024 campaign continues down the apocalyptic path it’s heading.

The shark jumped when Trump’s disciples started bringing Bibles to his rallies for him to autograph, as if the Bible is a foul ball they caught in the stands. I would think a real Christian would refuse to desecrate the Word of God.From Donald Trump to Katie Porter, election denialism is on the rise. It’s time for voters to fight back.The melding of politics and religion is as old as politics and religion. Both Right and Left use scripture to pitch their products.
