BeaverFever Posted October 9, 2024 Report Posted October 9, 2024 (edited) Trump's 'God Bless the USA' Bibles were printed in China, AP review finds WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of copies of Donald Trump’s “God Bless the USA” Bible were printed in a country that the former president has repeatedly accused of stealing American jobs and engaging in unfair trade practices — China. Global trade records reviewed by The Associated Press show a printing company in China’s eastern city of Hangzhou shipped close to 120,000 of the Bibles to the United States between early February and late March. The estimated value of the three separate shipments was $342,000, or less than $3 per Bible, according to databases that use customs data to track exports and imports. The minimum price for the Trump-backed Bible is $59.99, putting the potential sales revenue at about $7 million. The Trump Bible’s connection to China, which has not been previously reported, reveals a deep divide between the former president’s harsh anti-China rhetoric and his rush to cash in while campaigning. The Trump campaign did not respond to emails and calls seeking comment. …. https://apnews.com/article/trump-god-bless-usa-bible-china-32a80611605d4052d8238064bbcace4c Edited October 9, 2024 by BeaverFever 1 Quote

As if the world needed any more evidence that Trump is an anti-American fraud, cheap grifter and a con-man. Can’t wait to se howHis kool-aid drinking supporters justify this one.

User Posted October 9, 2024 Report Posted October 9, 2024 Don't have to justify anything. Just going to point out that they are the Trump Bibles in as much as a company paid to license them from Trump to get his endorsement. He has no control over anything else after that. 1 Quote LOL, when people have to tell you they are ignoring you... From Robosmith: "IGNORE AWARDED DUE TO WORTHLESS POSTS. BYE."

He and Greenwood are out there shilling this crap, making themselves the public face of this product, it’s not like he signed a license agreement and walked away 2) The company doing the licensing isn’t some stranger who cold-called Trump and Greenwood, it’s the firm Greenwood uses for marketing, run by another MAGA zealot who hung up on reporters when questioned about China 52 minutes ago, impartialobserver said: Meh.. if americans knew how much of their products either were made in China or were made mostly or partially from chinese inputs.. they would be crying. Yeah but Trump’s whole scam is to claim he’s the one leader who will stand up to china, put tarridfs on everything from China and falsely accuses democrats of being pro-China Edited October 9, 2024 by BeaverFever Quote

Or is it that you only care about products being made in China when it is a cool political talking point? Quote LOL, when people have to tell you they are ignoring you...

I am not pro-China amd never have been And when you brand yourself as the anti-china candidate and you’re secretly making millions off of deals with china it proves you’re a phoney and a fraud and a hypocrite “But everyone else does it” isn’t an excuse when your persona is largely based on the false claim that everyone EXCEPT YOU does it and is therefore evil while you’re the lone saviour of America. It’s kinda like whenever an anti-gay republican who makes his career out of whipping up anti-gay hysteria gets caught in bed with another man or sexually harassing boys. There’s nothing wrong with gay politicians but when someone is exposed as a fraud and a hypocrite and who secretly does the exact opposite of what they publicly claim to believe it’s relevant. 1 Quote

If Trump gets elected (shudder) his shitty bibles will be tariffed to double the cost at $120.🙄 Quote
