The Hill - OpinionPresident-elect Trumps endorsement video for the God Bless the USA Inauguration Day Bible looks like a Saturday Night Live parody. Still, some Trump supporters are buying them, while others yell blasphemy! But in general, Americans are repulsed by the mixing of religion and politics to sell copies of the scriptures.
The Bible costs $69.99 and is available until January 19. The edition that contains President Donald J. Trumps Hand-Signed Signature is $1,000, with Only 1000 Available! While Supplies Last!

The Trump Bible is just one of many products on what should be called President Trumps Home Shopping Network. Among his endorsed featured items are the sounds of victory played on Trump Guitars, priced from $1,000 to $11,500.

All the products scream, Its Trump time, his popular slogan from the television ad for Trump Watches, priced from $699 to $100,000. The inauguration collection features the $1,199 Diamond Commander, limited to only 500 copies. The maker of these extremely controversial Trump watches is TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC, located at an address in Sheridan, Wyo., according to the states business database. The initial corporate filing date was July 29, 2024, which must have left little time to make the best watches on earth when they debuted on Sept. 27, 2024.

Buyer beware since there is no information about the entities that actually make the watches, sneakers and fragrances. Suspiciously, on the GetTrumpWatches site and for such a luxury item, WyomingLLC Attorney fails to mention the name or location of its manufacturing arm. Before purchasing, take some Trump time to absorb the disclosure, which reads in part: Trump Watches are not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principals.

(11,929 posts)This time around it will become Putin-level grift. Entire sectors of the economy will be taken over, branded with the "Trump" logo. Donald wants to be the world's richest man.

(72,076 posts)lately ive been hooked on the snippets from antiques roadshow and pawn stars that come up on fb. ive seen a lot of autographs.
the laws of supply and demand, plus the level of deception likely afoot here, ie- he signed this shit? oh hell no. autopen, baby- mean this shit wont b worth ANYTHING.
unless u have a pic of him signing your thing, its worthless.
and by the end of this, i think he will b the most reviled person in american history. this shit will b relegated to the realm of hitler memorabilia.
an example on that front- a guy tried to pawn a red sox world series ring. shd b worth as much as $50k, considering its the red sox. but as it happens, its the ring of some dude who was a scum bag. dont recall exactly, but assaulted, i think raped, a gf.
he was told- i wouldnt buy it if u gave it to me for $1000.
the find out will b epic.
