In March of this year, the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, began selling his 'God Bless the USA' Bibles. He proudly declared them to be his favorite book and thousands of copies were printed in China, a country that he often accuses of stealing American jobs.
According to trade records, a printing company in Hangzhou, China shipped out around 120,000 of Trump's Bibles to the US in three separate shipments from February to March. The estimated value of these shipments was $342,000, which breaks down to less than $3 for each Bible.
Despite the low cost, Trump was selling his Bibles for $59.99 each, potentially earning around $7 million in sales revenue. When asked for a comment, the Trump campaign did not respond.
The latest shipment of 70,000 Bibles arrived at the Port of Los Angeles on March 28th, just two days after the former president publicly announced the product. In his announcement, Trump expressed pride in partnering with country singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood on the Bible, which includes the chorus of his song, 'God Bless the USA'.
The Bible also features the printed Constitution of the United States and Trump's name on the cover. In a promotional video, Trump stated, "All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many. It's my favorite book. I'm proud to endorse and encourage you to get this Bible."
However, Trump did not disclose where his Bibles were being printed. The cover of the 'God Bless the USA' Bible also includes Trump's name and the date of an assassination attempt, which he refers to as "the day God intervened."
Despite his actions as president, such as imposing heavy tariffs on Chinese imports, Trump's Bibles were printed in China. The cover also includes the inscription "The Day God Intervened," possibly referencing the day he survived the assassination attempt.
On the Trump Bibles website, it is stated that the product is not political and has no connection to any political campaign.
