    Donald Trump is a born idiot. Currently, he sells Trump sneakers, Trump coins, and Trump watches, among other things. And now he added a special edition of the Holy Bible to the list.

    How is this Holy Bible different from those that were not selected? Well, for one thing, it has the words “God Bless the USA” on the cover. And in front of the sacred message are copies of our Constitution, our Declaration of Independence, our Bill of Rights, our Pledge of Allegiance, and the words of “God Bless the USA.”

    I couldn’t help but wonder what Jesus thought about this. After all, when Satan offered to rule all the kingdoms of the world if he would only bow down to him, I believe he said something along the lines of “Thanks, but no thanks.” In other words, God does not bless the nations. He blesses people.

    So far, Trump has done over $300,000 on this Bible. I also wondered what Jesus thought about this. I can’t help but remember what he did to the moneylenders and sellers of sacrificial doves in the temple in Jerusalem. He overturned their tables and chairs and threw them outside.

    If you bought this Bible because Trump endorsed it, you bought it for the wrong reason. But rest assured. There is a cure. Black out the words “God Bless the USA” on the cover and cut out any incriminating documents listed above. I think it will pass then.
