Trump owns more than $1M in crypto and made $300K on branded Bibles, financial disclosure shows

Trump’s public positions on crypto have shifted since he first took office, when he said the digital currency was a scam.

Once again, Trump is pushing self enrichment policies.

He's not a liberal. He's not a con-servative. He's a transactionalist. What's in it for him.....period.

It's a good thing he has it, because his stock just keeps going down.

He made $300k on branded bibles. They sold for $59.99 each. If we're generous and assume he paid $10 per bible to manufacture, then he must have sold around 6,000 of them. Fewer than that if he went cheaper on the quality. I don't know why that's interesting to me, but it is lol.

And he doesn’t mind running crooked to accomplish it. In fact, it’s likely he prefers it.

For the record Trump is not the first Republican president to make a mockery of the Christian community without their knowing it.
David Kuo wrote a book about his time in the Bush Administration's "Office of Faith Based Initiative".

He realized that Bush mocked Evangelicals in private while using them at election time to bolster its support. In this exclusive adaptation from the book, Kuo writes about how his White House experiences left him disillusioned about the role religion can play in politics.

When members of his senior staff mocked the plan as the “f___ing faith-based initiative,” I didn’t say a word. When his legislative-affairs team summarily dismissed our attempts to shoehorn our funding into the budget, I smiled and continued trying to work neatly within the system. When I heard staff privately deriding evangelical Christians because they were so easily seduced by White House power, I raised an eyebrow but not a ruckus. Like everyone else in the small faith-based office, I didn’t speak too loudly or thunder too much. We were the nice guys.
-----------
George W. Bush, the man, is a person of profound faith and deep compassion for those who suffer. But President George W. Bush is a politician and is ultimately no different from any other politician, content to use religion for electoral gain more than for good works. Millions of Evangelicals may share Bush’s faith, but they would protect themselves–and their interests–better if they looked at him through the same coldly political lens with which he views them.

Kuo died of brain cancer on April 5, 2013 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Donald Trump has NONE of the qualities that George W. Bush has and none of the faith either.
It's all just transactional to him, and faithful persons are just easily manipulated convenient tools.
