Former PresidentĀ Donald TrumpĀ is now selling Bibles as he runs to return to the White House.

Trump, who becameĀ the presumptive Republican nomineeĀ earlier this month, released a video on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday urging his supporters to buy the ā€œGod Bless the USA Bible,ā€ which is inspired by country singer Lee Greenwoodā€™s patriotic ballad. Trump takes the stage to the song at each of his rallies and has appeared with Greenwood at events.

ā€œHappy Holy Week! Letā€™s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless the USA Bible,ā€ Trump wrote, directing his supporters to a website selling the book for $59.99.

The effort comes as Trump has faced a serious money crunch amid mounting legal bills while he fights four criminal indictments along with a series of civil charges. Trump was given a reprieve Monday whenĀ a New York appeals courtĀ agreed to hold off on collecting the more thanĀ $454 millionĀ he owes following a civil fraud judgment if he puts up $175 million within 10 days. Trump has alreadyĀ posted a $92 million bondĀ in connection with defamation cases brought by the writerĀ E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexual assault.
