Donald Trump’s ‘God Bless the USA’ Bibles were actually made in China --[Reported by Umva mag]
Thousands of ex-President Donald Trump's Bibles were printed in China, which he has frequently accused of stealing American jobs.
Earlier this year, ex-President Donald Trump flogged his ‘God Bless the USA’ Bibles, calling them ‘my favorite book’.
It turns out thousands of copies were printed in the same country that Trump frequently accuses of stealing American jobs – China.
A printing company in the eastern city of Hangzhou shipped out nearly 120,000 of Trump’s Bibles to the US in three increments from early February to late March, according to global trade records.
The shipments totaled an estimated $342,000 in value, which breaks down to less than $3 for each Bible.
Trump was selling his Bibles for $59.99 a pop, meaning the sales revenue could amount to roughly $7million.
On Wednesday, the Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Metro.
The latest shipment of Trump’s Bibles, numbering 70,000, were carried by a container vessel that docked at the Port of Los Angeles on March 28, which was two days after the former president unveiled the item.
Trump at the time said he was ‘proud’ to partner with country singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood on the Bible, which contains the chorus of his song, ‘God Bless The USA’.
‘All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many. It’s my favorite book,’ Trump said in a video promoting the product.
‘I’m proud to endorse and encourage you to get this Bible.’
Trump did not say where his Bibles would be printed.
While president, Trump imposed heavy tariffs on Chinese imports and has threatened to see through even higher ones if he returns to the White House.
Beside the Greenwald chorus, Trump’s Bibles have his name inscribed on the cover above, ‘The Day God Intervened’. It appears to memorialize July 13, when he survived an attempted assassination.
The Trump Bibles site states that it is ‘not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign’.
