You would be forgiven for assuming that Donald Trump celebrating Easter by selling a Bible was some kind of joke.
After all, Trump was never overtly religious before entering politics. He notably stumbled while referencing a book of the Bible during his 2016 campaign even though now he claims it’s his “favorite book.”
Donald Trump is celebrating Easter by selling copies of his latest product, the God Bless the USA Bible. Says Trump in his pitch: “And this is very important and very important to me. I want to have a lot of people have it. You have to have it for your heart, for your soul.”
He adds: “We’ve lost religion in our country. All Americans need a Bible in their home and I have many, it’s my favorite book, it’s a lot of people’s favorite book. This Bible is a reminder that the biggest thing we have to bring back America and to make America great again is our religion. Religion is so important, it’s so missing.” link

Columnist Philip Bump puts it all in perspective in the Washington Post. Making money while saving souls? It’s a winner in MAGA World.
Donald Trump finds votes and profits at the intersection of politics and religion
More to the point, why is he plugging this Bible now? The answers are obvious: now because he needs money and this Bible because he benefits financially to some extent. Perhaps you think I am also being cynical. After all, Trump offers that he’s pitching the book now because Easter is Sunday. Perhaps he simply wants Americans to have a Bible in-hand on the most sacred of Christian holidays.
We turn again to that FAQ.
“The God Bless The USA Bible is printed in limited-edition quantities,” it reads. “Most orders ship within 4-6 weeks of the time ordered. Your order will ship as it becomes available, and we will make reasonable efforts to ship your order as quickly as possible.”
You pay the cost of the Bible, shipping and taxes up front, of course. First things first.
