In a twist that could make even the most devout believer question their faith in political consistency, former President Donald Trump’s latest venture has taken an unexpected detour through the Far East. Yes, folks, you read that right — Trump’s “God Bless the USA” Bibles, the very embodiment of his “America First” mantra, were actually printed in China

Imagine this: A Bible, emblazoned with the stars and stripes, promising to “Make America Great Again” through divine intervention. It’s a tempting proposition for Trump’s base. But here’s the kicker — while Trump rails against China for stealing American jobs, it seems he’s been more than happy to outsource the printing of his holy books to the Middle Kingdom.

Let’s do some quick math:

  • Cost per Bible: Less than $3
  • Selling price: $59.99 minimum
  • Potential revenue: A heavenly $7 million

Talk about turning water into wine — or in this case, turning Chinese printing into American profit!

Critics are crying foul, pointing out the glaring contradiction between Trump’s fiery anti-China rhetoric and his business practices. It’s a bit like preaching about the evils of fast food while secretly owning a chain of burger joints.
