Trump’s latest grifting hits new low by hawking Bibles during Holy Week

Editor:

I checked and the character Elmer Gantry did not hawk bibles. Neither did the person whose life story was portrayed, religious grifter Billy Sunday.

The commission being paid Trump for his bibles – with secular material included – is not being used for his political fund raising. It is part of his current fund raising to pay his legal bills which this month includes defending alleged hush money, money actually paid to a porn star he slept with.

Has anyone noticed that Trump never pardons any one whose defense depends on his testimony? I wonder if he will testify about Stormy Daniels and the reasons behind the pay off.

Some commentors say it is a weak case as people who actually claim to be Christian would have voted for him anyway. The claim is they are still Christian even though they are willing to enable sin from someone who has not repented. It will be interesting to see how Bible sales go. No matter, repent or not, this is clearly grifting during a week many find holy.
