Like all Trump merchandising schemes, this one is cringey and tacky and represents the greed, the grift and the grotesque that's wrong with Trumpism. The God Bless the USA Bible is obviously and squarely aimed at Trump's existing base of true believers. But it is also attempting to hide, in soft-focus God-and-country pabulum, Trump's more sinister goals of exacting revenge and obliterating the rights and freedoms of anyone who is not on board with him ruling America with an iron fist, with the Christian right at his side.

Trump knows that his supporters believe God ordained America as a Christian nation.

The people most likely to want a Trump-branded Bible, presented with a blasphemous kitsch factor on par with a Jesus bobblehead, are Trump's evangelical base. Surely Trump knows that most of them already have their own Bibles, but he's counting on a good chunk of them forking over $59.99 (plus shipping) to have a version of God's word endorsed by the arbiter of the "correct" or "only" Bible: the person they admire as much as or more than Jesus himself.
