WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of copies of Donald Trump’s “God Bless the USA” Bible were printed in a country that the former president has repeatedly accused of stealing American jobs and engaging in unfair trade practices — China.

Global trade records reviewed by The Associated Press show a printing company in China’s eastern city of Hangzhou shipped close to 120,000 of the Bibles to the United States between early February and late March.

The estimated value of the three separate shipments was $342,000, or less than $3 per Bible, according to databases that use customs data to track exports and imports. The minimum price for the Trump-backed Bible is $59.99, putting the potential sales revenue at about $7 million.

The Trump campaign did not respond to emails and calls seeking comment.

Trump says his Bibles would help America ….

The largest and most recent load of 70,000 copies of Trump’s Bible arrived by container vessel at the Port of Los Angeles on March 28, two days after Trump announced in a video posted on his Truth Social platform that he’d partnered with country singer Lee Greenwood to hawk the Bibles.

Trump didn’t say where the “God Bless the USA” Bibles are printed, or what they cost; a copy hand-signed by the former president sells for $1,000. Trump also didn't disclose how much he earns per sale.

A version of the $59.99 Bible memorializes the July 13 assassination attempt on the former president in Pennsylvania. Trump’s name is on the cover above the phrase, “The Day God Intervened.” The wording appears to have been stamped on after the Bible was produced. Trump said Saturday his would-be assassin did not succeed “by the hand of providence and the grace of God.”

The web of enterprises has stoked conflict of interest concerns. Selling products at prices that exceed their value may be considered a campaign contribution, said Claire Finkelstein, founder of the nonpartisan Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law and a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

“You have to assume that everything that the individual does is being done as a candidate and so that any money that flows through to him benefits him as a candidate,” Finkelstein said. “Suppose Vladimir Putin were to buy a Trump watch. Is that a campaign finance violation? I would think so.”


Tim Wildsmith, a Baptist minister who reviews Bibles on his YouTube channel, said he quickly noticed the signs of a cheaply made book when his “God Bless the USA” Bible arrived wrapped in plastic inside a padded mailer.

It had a faux leather cover, and words were jammed together on the pages, making it hard to read. He also found sticky pages that ripped when pulled apart, and there was no copyright page or information about who printed the Bible, or where.

“I was shocked by how poor the quality of it was,” Wildsmith said. “It says to me that it’s more about the love of money than it is the love of our country.”

"The day god intervened"... and allowed an innocent to die. Why, god, why?

You'd think that A) we'd all be so aware of the bs by now that we'd instantly have wondered where they came from the moment they came out, and B) they'd have learned enough by now that they'd have them printed in the USA.

Vonshitzenpants got his “ Fweeings “ hurt - he used to frequent the howard stern show back in the day - even commenting on ivanka’s body and that infamous sound bite about walking into pageant dressing rooms unannounced.

Boohoo Bababooey Bababooey ! :mrgreen:

Kamala is making the rounds on various podcasts and radio shows outside of typical legacy media outlets and he can’t handle it.

Donny Diaper is in meltdown mode.
Lets drink to that :bigjoint:.

The Federal Communications Commission aimed at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) Tuesday for his administration’s threats to criminally prosecute Florida television stations if they refuse to stop running a political advertisement supportive of a ballot measure that would expand abortion access in the Sunshine State.

“The right of broadcasters to speak freely is rooted in the First Amendment,” FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement Tuesday. “Threats against broadcast stations for airing content that conflicts with the government’s views are dangerous and undermine the fundamental principle of free speech.”

The war of words erupted in response to a cease-and-desist letter the state Department of Health sent to television stations last week. The warning letter stems from a political ad featuring a woman who was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago while pregnant with her second child, the Miami Herald reported.

In the ad, the woman says Florida’s six-week abortion ban would have prevented her from receiving a life-saving abortion, according to the publication.

Nearly a week after the state issued its warning, the ad continues to play. Attorneys representing a political action committee sponsoring the abortion ballot measure also issued a defiant legal letter in which they call threats by the DeSantis administration an “unconstitutional state action,” the Florida newspaper noted.

If the advertisement was not taken down within 24 hours, the general counsel for the state agency, John Wilson, said TV stations could face criminal prosecution, adding that “creating, keeping, or maintaining a nuisance injurious to health is a second-degree misdemeanor” under state law, according to the Herald.

The FCC chair said in her statement directed at Florida officials that she had previously spoken out following the presidential debate in September by rejecting calls by Trump to revoke ABC’s license.
lol at the fuzzy spray hair on the little hatemongerer.

I love that this guy is outside of the Trump rallies trying to help his fellow American see reality of what his party has become.

Q:...can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable, and if so, what specific piece of legislation would you advance?

A: Well, I would do that. And we're sitting down, you know I was, uh, somebody we had, uh, Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter, Ivanka, was so impactful on that issue. It's a very important issue, but I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about, that, because, look, childcare is childcare. It's couldn't something, you have to have it...so we'll take care of it. Thank you. Very good question.

Do you follow?

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski questioned Donald Trump's mental abilities after he gave long, rambling answers during a town hall event before abruptly ending the question-and-answer session to dance awkwardly onstage.

The 78-year-old Republican presidential nominee stopped taking questions after two audience members suffered apparent heat-related emergencies at the Oaks, Pennsylvania, venue. Instead, he requested "loud" music and danced and clapped his hands onstage as many supporters streamed out of the building.

"It's not even the 'weave,' it's a bunch of B.S.," Brzezinski said. "I'll try and contain myself, but this aging BS artist is just trying to get through the moment and not answer the question because he has no answer. He has no answer, and people are okay with this, but they go after Kamala Harris' one question from four years ago where they don't like the answer, but she answers the question. This man was asked what he would do for small businesses. He said small businesses are smaller than big businesses."

Other panelists on "Morning Joe" snickered, but Scarborough gently corrected her to show that Trump's comment to a town hall participant was even more inane than she had initially quoted.

"Oh, he said they were bigger," she said. "Then he said he loved food and he likes to eat. We can see that, he doesn't need to say it. Hold on, then he talked about gas being better than electric — he talked about gas a lot. I don't know what the gas issue is. Then he goes on with electric cars, this and that — no answer. How does the Harris campaign break through to people about what is happening here with what Donald Trump is saying in his interviews and on stage, whether it be live or whatever that was?"


Hard to watch (background was kind of busy), but good listen.

I havn't had a chance to hear her interview with Roland Martin, but he usually asks really good questions of people when he gets a chance so am now currently enjoying it since I found it.

I would really like someone to ask what she is going to do to stop the attack on all of our communities while not ducking the domestic aspect of the attack in her answer. I wouldn't mind her going into all the recent steps they have taken to weed out some of the louder Russian propagandists, but address the self radicalization that we have been doing to ourselves.

Im looking forward to her being on the Breakfast Club later.
