Trump and the transformation of American Christianity

The Bible’s are not for the true believers. It’s for the Evangelical Mega Church CEOs who cannot otherwise donate to Trump.

 

This part of the article pretty much sums Trump on up his Bible selling venture....

The fact that some of the revenue he earns from this very pious gambit is likely to go towards legal expenses in a matter related to his dalliance with a p*rn star or towards compensating a woman whom he was found liable for sexually abusing is the icing on the evangelical cake.

 

The book of Enoch was removed from the modern bible cause it told the truth

The King Trump's version of the Bible

I read the piece and it’s good. I agree that its overall point is that tribal loyalties have become the most important thing to Trumps support.

It’s not whether Trump is a good Christian it’s that he loudly proclaims he’s a Christian. As the author notes it’s a litmus test of support that if you’re with us you not only support Trumps ham handed profiteering you celebrate it because he’s rubbing it in to who you perceive as your tribal enemies.

It’s about grievance. That you feel your view of Christianity is under attack so you want someone who not just loudly proclaims they are Christian they do it in a way that is feels obnoxious and offensive to those who you oppose. It’s the flip side of the excesses we see on display at Gay Pride Parades.

 

A master con artist like Trump fully understands that grievance and tribalism are great marketing tools. That the “Trump Bible” might come off as tacky and crass is the point. It’s the rudeness of it and in your face attitude that MAGA wants because that is viewed “ fighting for your cause” in this culture.

 

Is that Tinman’s precious 12 year old way of saying I like Trump without being able to say I support Trump while adding absolutely zero to the conversation? Get some courage Trump fanbois support your obese man child with pride.

 

I wonder what Mike Pence thinks of Trump's $60 USA Bible.

Did you know that Republicans, in a Oct 2023 HarrisX poll, see Trump as a "person of faith" more so than Mitt Romney, Mike Pence, Biden, ...

 

I legit expect that those bibles to have been altered

It is a grift. It is a way for churches to donate to Trump to avoid that pesky IRS

 

That the Donald is the idol of the majority of evangelicals tells me everything I need to know about them. They should change their name to revengelicals.
