Serial adulterer and convicted sexual abuser Donald Trump, who lied 30,573 times while he was in the White House, will sell you a Bible for $59.99. Not just any Bible, but one emblazoned with the lyrics of a song written and recorded by Melvin Lee Greenwood, “God Bless the USA,” and padded out with our county’s public domain founding documents. Perhaps copies will replace the Gideon versions in Trump Hotel nightstands.
Bible salesman Trump is running for the presidency of the United States, and he plays Mr, Greenwood’s patriotic 1984 recording at all his campaign rallies, right after The Village People’s “YMCA,” a paean to gay culture.
Donald Trump is known for flourishing the Bible in front of houses of worship while violently stifling public assemblies, and fumbling Biblical references in front of Christian college students. He is running for president against faithful churchgoer Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
“The Bible Salesman,” written by Billy Vera and Chip Taylor, recorded by Billy Vera, 1969.
