    A version of the $59.99 Bible memorializes the July 13 assassination attempt on the former president in Pennsylvania. Trump’s name is on the cover above the phrase, “The Day God Intervened.”

    He inserted himself into the Bible.

      Yup. Everything has to be about him. That’s how malignant narcissists roll.

      Give it enough time and he’s gradually replace all the boring old books in his Bible with new ‘classier’ ones that focus exclusively on him.

      The Gospels of Steve, Roger, Jared, and Mike.

      The Books of Kim Jong Un, Putin, White Supremacy, Sexual Assault, Embezzlement, Sedition, Gluttony, etc.

      All taking about how the Orange Messiah was bulletproof, super-buffed, the smartest man who ever lived, irresistable to the ladies, so so virile, better than Jesus, etc.

      And his hardcore followers will gleefully lap it all up.

    It’s crazy to think that God intervened at the last possible second.

    Like maybe give a hint to the SS that the guy was on the roof?

    Like maybe make the gun jam or misfire?

    Nope, God said, “I’m going to let the bullet graze his ear, lol. Oh yeah, Corey Comperatore, I’m just not going to intervene on that one…”

    Trump could have at least made it in memory of Corey Comperatore. But nope, he’s got to make it about only himself.

    55000 of those are going to Oklahoma schools soon. IF the very reasonable Oklahoma state superintendent Ryan Walters gets them at cost, then that’s only $165,000 of tax players’ money. I’m sure that whoever is selling them won’t make him pay the full cost of $3,299,450.

    Just like his MAGA caps, and probably all the cheap merch he peddels. He is not there to make a statement, he is there to make a buck. Or several.

    This is the sort of grift that gets a demigod chasing you around with a bullwhip.

    But if they were made in USA the pages would be in the wrong order and the corners wouldn’t be square. The Chinese ones are at least usable for the 8 months they last before falling apart.
