Trump and Greenwood shared a video of Trump promoting the new line of Bibles named after Greenwood’s hit song. Each Bible will include a copy of the “handwritten chorus” from “God Bless the U.S.A.”
How Much Does The “God Bless The U.S.A.” Bible Cost & What Does It Include?
Greenwood and Trump released the Bibles to coordinate with the upcoming Easter holiday.
The “God Bless the U.S.A” Bible is a King James translation. The text is printed in a large font, also highlighting Jesus’ words in red.
Each Bible costs $59.99. Every Bible includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Bible’s official website states that no proceeds will go toward Trump’s campaign (he is currently running for president again). The website also says the Bible, “is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign.”
The website also emphasizes that the “God Bless the U.S.A.” Bible “is the only Bible” endorsed by Trump and Greenwood. It is also the only Bible inspired by Greenwood’s song.
Trump Shares Video Endorsing Greenwood’s “God Bless The U.S.A.” Bible
Trump filmed a video sharing his official endorsement of Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” Bible. He specifically focused on the inclusion of the historical documents, saying:
“I want to have a lot of people have it. You have to have it for your heart, for your soul. Many of you have never read them and don’t know the liberties and rights you have as Americans, and how you are being threatened to lose those rights; it’s happening all the time.”
He continued:
“I’m proud to endorse and encourage you to get this Bible. We must make America pray again, pray, get educated, get motivated, and stand with me and the legions of Americans asking God to bless our great nation, to bring our great nation back, and to make America great again. I’m proud to partner with Lee in this offering. He’s a very special man both as a talent, but maybe even more so as a human being. He’s very, very special and I think you all should get a copy of God Bless the U.S.A. Bible now and help spread our Christian values with others. There you have it. Let’s make America pray again. God bless you and God bless the U.S.A.”
