Former President Donald Trump has recently made headlines by urging his supporters to purchase a special edition Bible titled 'God Bless the USA' for $59.99. This initiative comes as Trump faces mounting legal bills amidst his third presidential run as the presumptive Republican nominee.
In a video posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump announced his partnership with singer Lee Greenwood, known for his song 'God Bless the USA' which is played at all of Trump's rallies. The Bible is being promoted ahead of Easter this Sunday and is being marketed as 'the only Bible endorsed by President Trump'.
However, it is important to note that the website linked by Trump, GodBlessTheUSABible.com, is not owned or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, or any of their affiliates. The site uses Trump's name, likeness, and image under a paid license from CIC Ventures LLC, with the disclaimer stating that the license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms.
Similar language can be found on the website for Trump's recently announced sneakers, indicating a consistent approach in the branding and licensing of products associated with the former president.
The special edition Bibles are advertised to include a handwritten chorus to 'God Bless The USA' by Lee Greenwood, along with copies of the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
