    Maybe if a Trump bible included a list of loopholes, it might be worth $59.99.
    I'm not talking about a true theocracy.. I'm talking about the danger of linking nationalism and political ideology with a "God is on my side" mentality. If a political figure goes around selling Bibles, what message does that send? That everyone else is wrong except for the standard-bearer of the Almighty.

    I do sort of like the idea of having all of those documents in one handy container. not that I would want one because I would look online for these things, but still.

    So is this going to be something you would walk into a bible store and do something like flip over the front crossed bible, and ask for?

    Rumor on the street is that there could be an autographed Trump memorial Veg-O-Matic in the works.

    Yes, it is an uncomfortable scenario, that’s for sure.

    At least the Veg-O-Matic has some potential useful value, unlike the bible.
