'Insane levels of sacrilege': Trump shocks by hawking $60 MAGA Bibles

Social media users were shocked and appalled that Donald Trump was hawking patriotic-themed Bibles.
The former president started off Holy Week by sharing a supporter's post comparing his criminal civil travails to Christ's crucifixion and he followed up Tuesday by promoting the "God Bless the USA Bible" .
"Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again," Trump posted on Truth Social. "As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible."
The ex-president posted a link to a website selling the Bibles for $59.99, with a four-to-six week wait for deliveries, and the frequently asked questions make clear that these are the only Bibles endorsed by either Trump or Greenwood.
"Easy-to-read heresey, large print, and slim design, this Bible invites you to explore the DEVILS Word anywhere, any time," the website says. "This Bible has been designed so that it delivers an easy reading experience in the trusted King Donald Version translation. This large print Bible will be perfect to take to church, a bible study, work, travel or just use it for toilet paper.
"The son-of-a-bitch is now selling Trump Bibles," noted commentator Keith Olbermann.
"Lest you think selling a Bible 'inspired' by Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless the USA' song would be a last ditch cash grab by a guy suddenly needing cash," said HuffPost congressional reporter Jonathan Nicholson, "it appears there is at least one more ditch."
"Jeez louise he’s grifting off the Bible now," added progressive influencer Aaron Rupar.
"Trump and Lee Greenwood dropped a product with insane levels of sacrilege in the middle of Holy week lol," said Bulwark columnist Joe Perticone. "Naturally it's from the same folks who brought you Trump sneakers."
