Asthis year’s Easter season approached, Mr. Trump gathered several of his disciples at Mar-a-Lago for dinner. As they sat at a long table in the storied dining room, he presented each of them with a faux Chinese leather-bound, special “God Bless the USA” edition of the Bible.
Available on the musician Lee Greenwood’s website, it is featured with a large photo of the new book with an enticing description.

The Mar-a-Lago dinner was held as Trump rolled out the new Bible on X.
“Happy Holy Week!” Trump announced on social media Tuesday, during the most solemn period of the Christian calendar, the last week of the Lenten season marking the suffering and death of Jesus. “As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible.”
But not all the hoopla was well received by the faithful. A few prominent Christians were, shall we say, “perplexed” at Mr. Trump’s rollout of his version of the Good Book during the holiest week on the Christian calendar … a commemoration of the suffering of Jesus Christ leading to his crucifixion.
CNN reported some of the controversy this way:
Responses to Trump’s social media announcement called the endorsement “sacrilege,” “heresy” and “borderline offensive” and cite lessons directly from the Bible that suggest taking advantage of people’s faith for money should be condemned.
“It is a bankrupt Christianity that sees a demagogue co-opting our faith and even our holy scriptures for the sake of his own pursuit of power and praise him for it rather than insist that we refuse to allow our sacred faith and scriptures to become a mouthpiece for an empire,” said Rev. Benjamin Cremer on X.
Jason Cornwall, a pastor from South Carolina, said on X that Trump’s Bible endorsement was a violation of one of the Ten Commandments of the Hebrew Testament that forbids taking God’s name in vain.
There was further confusion because as he handed out personally signed copies to each of the 12 in attendance at the Mar-a-Lago dinner, he began describing the contents.
“There are some really incredible, phenomenal, and unbelievable stories in here about some of my most really, really incredible exploits,” he said, “Like the one where I save all the animals by putting them on my yacht two at a time for the New York City Zoo. Or the story where I started a company from scratch to sell grape-colored spring water from Lake Erie as wine for the masses.”
He had a special story for each of the guests as he handed them their copy in return for the $59.99 off-the-shelf price.
Needless to say, there were a few muffled giggles as those in attendance realized that not only had he never read the actual Bible, but his handlers led him to believe that this edition was in fact a biography of his rise to power.
Undaunted, Trump explained the confusion.
“It’s metaphorically written,” he said. “But it’s all right in here.” And with that, he gave the final copy to his ex-chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and quipped, “There’s even a story about you in here, Mark.”
It was an auspicious gathering and even the seating arrangements were the cause of some speculation as to their significance. On Trump’s right sat Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of New York’s 21st District. Rumors loom large that she is to be his pick for Vice President.
Those seated down the long banquet table after Ms. Stefanik included, House Speaker Mike Johnson, podcaster Steve Bannon, singer Lee Greenwood, Tucker Carlson, and finally, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, a last-minute stand-in for Trump’s wife Melania who was detained at the Texas Border trying to get back into the United States with a Slovenian passport.
On Trump’s left sat Senator Joe Manchin, a reward for his having caused chaos throughout his time in the Senate. Next came Kanye West, followed by an unexpected guest, the ghost of Rush Limbaugh who though dead since 2021, seems to have risen for the auspicious occasion. Rudy Giuliani was next (though he had to be excused before he got his Bible because he couldn’t raise the sixty bucks he needed to get his copy). At the far end sat Trump’s ex-chief of staff Mark Meadows whose decision to testify against Mr. Trump has him labeled as chief betrayer.
Last but not least was an empty chair reportedly reserved for Trump’s surprise guest, President Joe Biden. Trump pointed out that Biden was invited as a symbol of unity but unfortunately was tied up at the time and couldn't make it.
To get your copy, Trump will be appearing at a Christian book store near you throughout the campaign season. Checks can be made out to, The Committee to Elect Donald Trump.
