I wonder what it will be worth in 6 months when the 6-month lock expires and Trump can finally sell his shares. I guess by then he will either be President or not and it won't really matter one way or the other.
I'm quite confident he will not be President 6 months from now. But I guess the statement "either he will or he won't" is even more ironclad.
OK, so the election is in 7 months not six.

Point being, if he is president than the value of Truth Social stock isn't going to matter so much because Trump will be able to exploit the office of the presidency to make as much money as he wants, just like he did last time. And if he loses the election then Truth Social will be worthless anyway because who will want to follow the social media ravings of a 2-time loser has been of a politician? It only has value because people care about what Trump thinks. If he loses they will care about as much about what he thinks as they care about what Mitt Romney, John Kerry, or Hillary Clinton think today. Which isn't much.

My favorite part is at 2:35: "I'm gonna rare back and tell you something...."

Good to hear a Church of God pastor saying this.

I didn't watch the video.

But my biggest objection to this Trump Bible is the unseemly attempt to cash in financially on the Bible. Trump didn't write it and neither did Lee Greenwood. It just feels crass and un-Christian to try and profit off the Bible.

Excellent video all around, though. Spot on.

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

I wonder how upset some of the posters on MennoNet who display such righteous indigniation about this would be if Biden were promoting/selling Bibles.

Quick, divert attention away from the Kingdom of God and reframe it in terms of polarized political enmities! Quick, invite speculation about things nobody has done, but which you imagine they might do ... use your imagination to polarize it!

Or ... maybe that's not what we should do as Christians? Maybe we can simply say that this is wrong, not because Trump did it, but because it is wrong. Is there really any serious disagreement about that? Perhaps we should focus on how we, as Christians, should view these things?

If Biden was crassly trying to profit off the Bible I'd be equally offended.
