“The current website for the book includes an FAQ that addresses the question of how the fmr president benefits from the partnership. It assures visitors that no money from the sale of the Bibles will go to ’s political campaign. Instead, ‘GodBlessTheUSABible.com uses Donald J. Trump’s name, likeness & image under paid license from LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms.’

@davidhmccoy @pbump @binaryphile Lot of evangelical Atheist keyboard warrior fapping going on in this Toot right here. Houses of worship are the only central social and social justice organizing space in many communities, particularly key in the Civil Rights movement. You go fix that and let us know your substitute.
