The new Trump Bible makes a mockery of scripture’s true message

A new $1,000 version of the ‘God Bless America’ Bible commemorates “the day that God intervened” in Trump’s assassination attempt. It’s printed in China - a country that produces more Bibles than anyone else yet whose own citizens are restricted from reading it. But the Bible contains a warning for both China and Trump, observes Tim Farron MP
You may have seen the latest edition of the ‘God Bless America’ Bible. Signed by Donald Trump himself and selling for $1,000, it includes an inscription saying: “The day God intervened: July 18, 2024”.
This is a reference to the first attempt on Trump’s life on the campaign trail, and part of an ongoing attempt to position him as a new ‘chosen one’, commissioned by God to protect American culture from the evils of secular liberalism.
