Donald Trump on Tuesday started promoting a line of pricey Bibles in a partnership with country music star Lee Greenwood, whose song “God Bless the U.S.A.” is omnipresent at the former president’s political rallies. “All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many,” Trump said in a video on Truth Social announcing the business deal. “It’s my favorite book. It’s a lot of people’s favorite book,” he added. “Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country, and I truly believe that we need to bring them back,” he said. “It’s one of the biggest problems we have. That’s why our country’s going haywire — we’ve lost religion in our country.”

The “God Bless the U.S.A. Bible” costs $59.99, not including shipping and other fees. For that money, buyers get a range of extra features not typically included in run-of-the-mill Bibles. The Trump-Greenwood Bible, a King James translation, includes a copy of a “handwritten chorus” to the eponymous Greenwood hit, according to the website. It also includes the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance, the site says. It’s the “only Bible” endorsed by either Trump or Greenwood, the site proclaims. It adds, it’s “the ONLY Bible inspired by America’s most recognized patriotic anthem, God Bless The USA.”

I thought at first that I had stumbled onto an article in The Onion by mistake, but this is real. I'm curious how many Bibles Trump has at Mar-a-Lago, not counting any supplied by the Gideons in guest rooms. I'm also curious how this version of the Bible was inspired by a country music song. Were the disciples listening to Lee Greenwood on their AM radios while they were writing the New Testament? And I'm not even going to mention which Bored member probably has this Bible at the top of his Easter gift wish list.

I shouldn't, but I'm going to...

John 3:16 (Trump Bible): For God so loved the world America that He gave us Trump, that whosoever should believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
