Charlie Sykes: Trump is commodifying the Bible during Holy Week
#Trump #Politics #Bible
Repulsive on so many levels.
At first I misread that as "Republican on so many levels." And I was going to agree with you. 😂But what you actually wrote is true, too.
Mika and Joe love Trump!
I don't find it repulsive I find it entertaining..this is all that msnbc talks about Trump this Trump that ..at least at Fox they are more interesting when I comes down to what they talk about.
@@Do.your.own.reserch.185. Trump is a Circus 🎪😂😅
@@Do.your.own.reserch.185.is that why Fox News got sued by Dominion , Starmatic and other people, lol Fox has nothing to report but all lies...
Because that's what the Antichrist does.
EXACTLY
If you were familiar with the holy Bible you would know that the antichrist will be loved by everyone. Technically you are anti-Christ.
Obama?
@@markcosenza3274 Hey troll. youre back.
Russian Bot, get lost IVAN @@markcosenza3274
The Bible and him have nothing in common PERIOD.
Trump and the book have one thing on common, they are both inert objects. The book cannot be called a Bible if it is endorsed by trump as God does not need trumps endorsement
a book or two mention the antichrist ... and the need to recognize him *_and REJECT_* him.
Actually he did, he sells bible for 60, someone in the bible sells someone for 30 and 60 = 2 x 30 ... see the connection?
He's the serpent in Genesis
ive never said I hate a person, but this is truly abhorrent and disgusting, the man has never read a single word of the book he is holding and has no right to profit from it
His Two..
CORINTHIANS...and holding the Good Book upside down says Otherwise! Yes...what a Sleazy, depraved Weasle!
No shame in starting now.
No Christian would ever do this. Using religion to grift money is one of the worst things a person believing in God can do.
Trump only believes in himself!
I’m sad to say this is not new. Jesus called out the grifters as did Martin Luther.
Have you forgotten the Jim and Tammy Faye grift ?
Or every other televangelist for that matter.
So like the Pope
Thousands do in the USA and are even given tax breaks for doing it.
What a disgrace. It is wrong in so many ways.
Totally agree any true religious person should be outraged
he is simply disgusting, vote him out!!!!!
@@albertalbanese217 We are, AT THE LEFT FOR PERSECUTING US JUST BECAUSE WE REJECT LGBT AND ABORTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@albertalbanese217you don't need to be religious to be outraged over this. That bass turd would sell your kidneys if he could make a buck.
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😆😆😆😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪@@gcinizwidlamini406
The man has no shame, whatsoever, NONE!
Two people not to trust:
A preacher who tells you how to vote and a politician who tells you how to pray.
And a draft dodger who tells you how to be patriotic.
And the elitist, Marxist media, deep state uni-party!
Lincoln Project said it best: If God sent Donald Trump, it was to test us and we are failing to cast him down.
Stop
Listening to nobodies that have done nothing
Old donnie belongs in prison
@@coldstonestunnerswe’ll start with not listening to you
It's more like he's separating the weeds from the wheat, and maga supporters are totally comfortable with being weeds.
And it also could be God's punishment to America for their evil support of the legal murder of the developing baby in the womb that people choose to call abortion. And that is more likely what is happening because of a hypocrite Catholic president who both supports and funds family planning abortion clinics. I with good conscience couldn't give my vote to either of those two men...
If this doesn't turn the stomachs of TRUE CHRISTIANS, I don't know what will.
Oh but money is more righteous to them
Doesn't matter about them, there are plenty who are not "true" that will follow
As a lifelong Lutheran, I couldn't agree more.
Is there any such thing?
They have strong stomachs, throughout histories they allied with Kings, Emperors and lately Dictators, no matter how cruel, as long as they get their way which is the only thing they care about because they are anything but principled, they can put up with anything.
There is no bottom for this man.
He needs to push his stool back in😂change that diaper!
He’d sell the Quran if he figured he could make money!
Adding political documents to the Bible is desecration of the Bible.
Shocking and sickening. He's not a man of faith but the opposite. He gets lower every day. Shame on you people who support him!!!
The magats have no shame. Not to be confused with the goodness of fly maggots.
These people would have been right at home with the Golden Calf cult.
😢this is BLASPHEMOUS, LITERALLY!!! THIS MAN HAS NO SHAME!!!!!!
@@esthermcmann5261The only time he knows shame is when he bullies anyone he deems beneath himself. It's *their* shame he thrives on.
No no no it'd not shame on people who support Trump..its Joe and Kamalas fault and the Biden administration too. Joe said that he was going to be everyone's president and that he was going to fix and lead way better than Trump..so why isnt Trump just a memory..its been 3 1\2 yrs and Trump is still in the spot light..so quess what Joe and Kamala aren't doing their jobs for the American people thats why Trump is still relevant..and stoll after 3 -1/2 years Joe still blames Trump for any problems he has to deal with to this day ..that's shamefull very shameful..
It is called Christo- Fascism.
"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross " - attributed to Sinclair Lewis.
They'll be dressed in White Robes and the crosses will be burning.
At least he is not selling children on the Southern Border or Fentanyl or Selling our country's land to the China Communist Party.
That's James Watermen Wise, JR, from the book "The Christian Century" 1936
So True, Mr. Gracchus....But, May we add, "wearing a M.A.G.A. cap", please...?
Yup. Wake up America. Facism is here.
Despicable Trump
MAGAt’s get your bibles!
This is insane. Unbelievable the levels Trump will go.
It's a cult
Democrats worship the Dementia King.
Jesus isn’t a cult. He is the truth
@@coldstonestunners the fact that you think I was talking about Jesus says a lot about your comprehension skills. And Christianity is literally a cult.
coldstonestunners,. is that what the cult told you?
@@coldstonestunnersSo you're claiming Trump is Jesus now.🤦
He's says he's fighting for the constitution? Didn't he say awhile ago that he would do away with the Constitution? Every time this conman talks, he just irks me.
He means he is fighting against the Constitution.
He is totally sincere. It just depends on who he is talking to.
Kinda like the value of his properties.
"I am fighting [delete] the constitution "
i wish one of us would be "irked" enough to grow a pair and go do what we all know "needs to be done"....

This is insane 😮

What we have here “Is a thing called” BLASPHEMY! Vote Blue! 💙

Only $66.60 ( with tax ) 🔥🔥
@@amberturdcoloringbook1733: If it really was made from human flesh, that would be more reason for the target audience to buy it. Like the one commentator said, it says more about the people who would buy such a thing than it says about snake oil salesman Trump.
Exactly!

To endorse someone who has broken each and everyone of the 10 commandments - repeatedly!
Phew, medieval king's were probably much worse than that and always used religion for their advantage...
seems like a pretty good deal for the common bootlicker
Factor in shipping and handling.
Next he'll be selling The Ark.
This Bible has the ten commandments crossed out as well as the word adultery crossed out.
@@larryv6979
Adultery is #7.

Trump said "We must make America pray again...!" I, for one, have never been moved to pray more than since the Cult of Trump appeared and threatened all I love.
SNL will have a good time with this one too!
Mika nailed it! Trump's blaming America for everything that he's done to it. 😊
A true extreme narcissistic sociopath through and through.
I blame America for letting him do all of this to us.
Trump's biggest enemy is himself.
Usually when dictators do that, it's accompanied by a nation in flames.
@@derekbrandell8520Not all of America… the GOP, MAGA Rs, et al.
Yes!! We must pray Trump is never in our White House again 🙏
Yeah, 'cause "thoughts and prayers" sure have helped with the school shootings, haven't they?
Prayers do nothing. You have to VOTE!
Pray? I'd rather give money to Biden, write post cards and make phone calls to support blue candidates. Democracy is on the line.
No, you must vote. Simple.
Keep praying, chump. I’ll vote.
Begging won't work. Only voting will.
He got no shame!
He HAS no shame. Your grammar is appalling.
Trump would sell his grandmother if he thought he could get away with it.
This is blasphemy
An actual wealthy Christian, would be giving Bibles away.
Trump's Bible made out of human flesh 😭😭
with Golden border edges 😭😭
Only $66.60 ( with tax ) 🔥🔥
Exactly
Church I go to gives you a bible
i know, they tried so many times to give me one but i'm a faster runner than those bearded men in skirt
He's our country's Judas!!!! 😠💙💙💙💙💙
he says "make America Pray Again", it's more like "Make Americans PAY Again".
When was the last time Trump paid for anything?
And of course, he wants them to pray to HIM. And HIM alone.
😂
AGREE!!👌
No it's like make America white again
I will be 57 years old in June. I am shocked and discussed 😢
I like that Charlie Sykes guy. Every time I see him on one of these shows, he always makes some solid points/observations.
If Trump is so rich and actually is Christian, why doesn’t he give them away?
Even if Trump gives his cult version of the Bible away for free I want to take it
That would be the Christian thing to do.
Then we come to the big " IF "!
Because it defeats hus purpose of making money. The next thing fir sale will be a replica of Jesus on the cross wo
This is like Robinhood in reverse.
What a sick individual!
There are no words.
NO POLITICIAN should "make America pray again." WE ARE NOT A RELIGIOUSLY FOUNDED COUNTRY.
There’s evil in his eyes. Sorry to notice it..
😂😂 Biden's a Catholic who supports abortion. That's evil.
He is evil
It's called 'no soul', nothing there but his ego.
You have to call a devil what it is. Don't apologize for seeing a thing and knowing what you see.
The way he talks irks me totally...I've worked with a lot of criminal psychopaths over several decades, and I see that in Trump...and the worst things are that so many people believe his constant lying, they let him get away with bad stuff, and his voice is just so fake that I reckon even a kindergarten child would sense that he's a full-on wierdo.
And not a religious bone in his body
Religion is the greatest fraud of all time
You don't have to be religious to understand that this is pitiful, and sickening behaviour. I'm not, and I can guarantee that I have read more of the Bible than Trump has.
Satan the stupid Devil
We must not forget his bone spur excuse😡....Worst American President ever....unapologetically pro democracy💙😎🇦🇺
as he knows there all suckers
Prepare yourselves, it won't be long now. Redemption draws near.
At least he's holding it the right way up this time 😊
There’s an up arrow on the back😂

What a shyster.

Scheister. For real. And it literally means "shitster". Also, it's usually only used to insult lawyers.
Look up shyster in the dictionary and it says: see: Donald Trump.
Trump is the worst thing to ever happen to this country.
* Biden
Biden absolute worst
@@sekseemarcuskidd "Trump ranks as worst president in US history in new academics poll

NAH i THINK BIDEN WORST... WHEN YOU A NOT MARKETING...LOT OF WARSS@@pho-kingsoup8126
HE HAS COVERAGE ON ALOT OF WAR i THINK HE IS AMONG WORST PRES
as a Christian I find this absolutely Offensive . This IS NOT Christianity . there is a Separation of Church and State and he just put both together
BLASPHEMY 😢! It’s an insult to everyone who is a true Christian.
If that's not Blasphemy at the highest level, I don't know what is, making a mockery out of the Bible.
I wanted to say the same thing. 😳
You're mistaken if you think the Christofascists of the American right are actually "Christian".
99% of them haven't ever read the Bible.
Well said
Kind of like being pro abortion and claiming to be practicing Catholics like biden and pelosi. Right?
He is seriously now causing his own downfall. Putting a price to God’s Word.
And all the proceeds will go to Trump's legal expenses what a con man
But it's working. Shows you the level of intelligence MAGATS possess.
SHAME ON ANYONE WHO BUYS THOSE BIBLES KNOWING THE PURPOSE OF THE SELL!!!!! PEOPLE PLEASE QUIT ENABLING THIS POOR EXCUSE OF A MAN!!!!!!!!
Or influence of choice oh k.
Now he's a fortune teller in a medium and a psychic wow🎉
Thou shall not spare a cheeto, thou shall not let the Sharpie run dry.. thou shall not put magnets under water..
It is an act of Blasphemy! So sickening🤮🤮🤮
I’m surprised he didn’t burst into flame with that announcement.
Fire doesn't bother the devil. He would just keep going.
@@cocofluffCartoon Christian.
The Devil is supposedly in a lake of ice, and was canonically _destroyed_ in a lake of fire.
I'll bet he has hooves rather than feet.

trump has no shame in the separation of church and statePLEASE.
“Beware of the FALSE PROPHETS, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15). JESUS issued this stark WARNING on His Sermon of the Mount. ... This lesson is relevant today as ever.
Lets hope he makes an exodus to Jail
Don’t you mean orange Jesus grift on tRUMP this is exactly what we would expect from amocking religion and the BIBLE unforgivable
That will give him plenty of time to do some reading. Now that he's an expert at reading teleprompters.
He is truly insane!
The fact he is winning is driving you "insane" isn't it?
@@jflorida1984 hardly
@galecunningham1250 yea just out there 😂
He reminds us very firmly and in fact VEHEMENTLY ... that he has oddly tiny hands.
❤
Make America Grift Again. Every time I think Trump can't sink any lower, he proves me wrong. I'll give him $60 if he just reads the Bible. Please excuse me as I need to go throw up!🤮
Seriously?????? This man has no boundaries!!
I'd like to think that hawking the Bible may turn off some of the hard right Christians. Maybe? Okay, I'm an optimist, but maybe?
@@KeePenne yeah maybe?
He was never given boundaries as a child. That’s why now, he’s still a spoiled child. Albeit a very old child. A hateful old child.
lol the anti christ selling the Bible. 😂
Yes! That's exactly right!
I said the same thing.
The people buying his book are the same people who would have been worshipping the golden calf.
I can’t thank you enough for teaching me how to download an app…I spent so many months just wondering and praying lord oh lord how can I get the MSNBC app🙏🏽? I was going to buy a Trump Bible but you have already answered my prayers!
Trump knows no bottoms, he doesn’t even know one verse in the Bible.
Maybe his first verse should be in Matthew 21.
he does not know how to spell Bible
He is a conman
No bottoms hence the XXXL Diapers
"Two Corinthians"
Why has this not been denounced by every christian church in america ?
Even the westboro baptists should be sickened by this.
He’s immune from all consequences in th me eye of his cult members
Pastors and priests depend on parishioners to financially support their “ministry”! So they have to carefully navigate their church members opinions.
If they are crossed then they leave. Simple.
The amuriKKKlan EVIL-Angelico is religious fascism (Christo-Fascist), and has nothing to do with spiritualism.
@frankrubino1883 If priests and/or ministers can only keep their parishioners by allowing a faithless con to corrupt their faith while lining his own pockets, then they should look themselves in the mirror. A church that only stands due to giving into that failed former president's latest grift shouldn't be considered a church at all.
"Happy holy week!" Shudder. Says it all.
The mind drifts back to that episode when he had the National Guard clear a church of protestors. He held up a Bible, but he held it like one might hold a dead rat. I'm surprised no one noticed...
At least he's holding it the right way. What a clown.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Soon sells his A...s
Well, before, he was demonstrating the way he holds it when he tries to read it, see. You just stare at something for a while and then bs responses. You gotta read with your gut, not your eyes, y'see. And some say he has the smartest gut bacteria, on a phenomenal level, etc.
I got hairy legs 🦵 😋
You know someone was hired just to make sure it was the right side up.
I seriously could not have fathomed his hypocrisy stooping this low.
6 years ago, John Oliver asked us to look up... -and see rock bottom! The US has sunk quite a bit further since then.
He is a low-life
Why the he double hocky stisk not?
Then stay tuned............
I could. Trump is an atheist and a conman. He will upset a few Christians, though.
The last time he held a Bible is was upside down after having military and police cleared out the church he stood in front of. He had the pastor arrested. What a godly duck.
the pages he jammed into the bible literally say that there is a freedom of religion in the country lol
“ Make America pray again“ sounds like forced religion.
MAPA ??
Every household... guess, who ordered that first...
@@ttomgast1769🤭🤣
Isn't that why we fought the British? We've come full circle.
I dare somebody to try to make me pray.
My Father's house is a house of prayer, you have turned it into a den of thieves....
I have many bibles in my home and I read it but I would NEVER in a million years would I purchase this!!
Does he remove all references to charity such as the Beatitudes? Likewise does he remove the flight into Egypt as refugees? Why would you include a secular document such as the Constitution, obscene to say the least!
His slurring gets worse. Gooooood.
He is falling apart. When you compare today's trump with 2015..yikes!
Disrespecting any religious book as if you are selling vacuum cleaner, is indeed Despicable and carries the KARMA that the Depraved Don the Con and his associates must face.
1000s of companies sell bibles. And for far more than $60 odd dollars. Attack trump for his wrong doing and his ideas.. Not for selling things that are for sale.
Well, to be fair, vacuums actually do something useful.
My comment on this has disappeared. My point was millions of companies sell bibles. For far more than he is
My reply was deleted a couple times. Nothing wrong with selling bibles and boots
He's selling a Bible!!!! Nobody cares WHERE THE MONEY GOES AS LONG AS IT GETS RID OF THE DEMOCRATS!!!!
Worth mentioning that while looking for what a Bible normally costs these days, the first 2 sites i went to charged me 0$.
One offered the first 3 bibles for free, only charging 1$ for shipping.
The other allows for up to 100 free bibles, and not even charging for shipping. You can get more for free, but you have to get in touch with a good reason why you need more then 100 free bibles.
I did find Bibles you have to pay for, ranging from 6$ for a very basic one, to around 30$ for a high quality study Bible.*
Meanwhile trump is asking 60$ for what looks to be a pretty basic Bible
* A high quality study bible being leatherbound, and full of scholarly notes and explainers on, for example, on what the customs and traditions were at the time.
As well as more then 500 maps.
I have even seen other study bibles (around 30$) that include QR codes that link to explainer videos.
Like, the "trump bible" gets you a lot less Bible for double the cost.
So even if you were in the market for a new Bible, this is still a rip off.
And finally a note as a Christian: the word of God should be a gift, not a business.
This is why you can get Bibles for free, people donating money so that anyone who wants that gift may receive it, free of charge.
Wait, did anyone else catch in the faq was “what if my Bible has sticky pages”? Haha
'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.
BOOM!!!!!
👏👏👏
And if he actually read the Bible then that verse would have stopped him. But his followers replaced Jesus with him so I guess he felt like he doesn't need to do the bare minimum
AMEN!!!
This is just so disrespectful.
I agree. And I'm not even a Christian.
You find God disrespectful?

He said it was the King James version with an American flag on the front of it. It’s beautiful.
As a Christian, a practicing one, this breaks my heart. God does not take this kind of thing lightly. God doesn't take sin lightly. It is not that I think Trump is not redeemable, everyone is. It is that he is not the least bit repentant. His behavior says it all. And that behavior does not say God loving man to me.
Trump IS 100% irredeemable. He has no soul, no shame, no ability to love. He’s just a meat puppet. There have always been such people and god has made no effort to get rid of them. It’s generally cost thousands, if not millions, of lives to stop malignant narcissists and their cults.
Grifting and blasphemy all in one package. God bless America.
"Happy Holy Week. I'm selling Bibles. I got tennis shoes, too! And make me your president."
What parallel universe is this??
True story. I was up at a rural county fair in California back in 2015, and my husband and I were at a stand selling hats as a primary purpose. There were Trump flags flying from the stand and free bibles in the front. Someone came up behind us and said “Bibles and Trump. My favorite stand.” There’s an unfortunately deep market there.

No, he's mocking the Almighty God, and His holy word, and that's a dangerous thing to do.

Whatever Trump is selling, i don't want it.
Thank you Charlie. Keep providing the list of his closest circle WHO ARE NOT VOTING FOR TRUMP!!!
Charlie’s fireplace is always beautifully decorated !
When you think Trump can’t go any lower, he rises to the occasion.
EMBARRASSING DOESN'T DESCRIBE THIS SHAMEFUL CONMAN
Shameful conman is a great description
I'm so sorry you have to even say that. Agreed . The rest of the planet. This is his final nail
It is blasphemous plain and simple!!!
At this rate he'll consider making a calf out of Fool's Gold and advertise it as a real golden calf.
At least he is not selling children on the Southern Border or Fentanyl or Selling our country's land to the China Communist Party.
If mainstream media would stop reading off his Truth Social posts ie, advertising it the account would shrivel on its own.
HAHAHAHAHA! Thank you! I needed a good laugh.
No depths to his depravity. None.
I feel so sorry for the American public who have to deal with this insane man, it is absolutely a cult thing to do.
Approx 50% of Americans vote for him…..does that tell you something about the intelligence of the average American???
Hopefully we can get rid of him in Nov. And he fi ally goes to jail or just away. Then Britain van finally denounce the royals and seize Buckingham palace and hold everyone in the blood line for crimes against humanity, slavery and give back the jewels to Africa. And that's just the surface of what can be done by us the ppl.
Prayers for Us All
I agree with Donald Trump. I believe we should pray to God and read our Bibles. Love and peace.
Agree!!!!
Blasphemous. By so typical of one who - by his actions - has lived a life of total blasphemy.
