Politics

The former President of the United States, Donald Trump, has always been known for his marketing skills and product promotion. Before venturing into politics, Trump endorsed various consumer items, from steaks to vodka. This time, he has opted for a new commercial venture by promoting a $60 Bible. In a video posted on his social media, Trump urged his followers to purchase the God Bless the USA Bible, named in honor of the famous country singer Lee Greenwood's ballad, which often accompanies the former president's appearances at his rallies. In the video, Trump stated that all Americans need a Bible in their homes, declaring it to be his favorite book. This new turn in Trump's trajectory is intriguing, as before entering politics he was not known to be particularly religious. In fact, during his 2016 presidential campaign, he made a notorious mistake when referring to a book of the Bible. However, he now presents himself as a staunch advocate of this sacred text, stating that it is a favorite of many people. Although Trump is not directly selling the Bible, it is reported that he is receiving royalties for each purchase made. This commercial move has stirred some controversy, as some critics point out that associating a sacred book with a controversial figure like Trump could be seen as an attempt to profit from people's faith. Trump's foray into selling the Bible raises questions about his motivations and the extent of his influence in the religious realm. Is it a genuine spiritual conviction or just another strategy to stay relevant in the public eye? Time will tell how this new commercial facet of the controversial former president is received. In a country where religion and politics often intertwine, Trump's decision to endorse a Bible does not go unnoticed. His ability to generate headlines and capture public attention remains strong, even outside the political sphere.
