'God Bless the USA' bibles have been manufactured in thousands and distributed in America as part of the Trump 'doctrine', that includes copies of the US Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Pledge of Allegiance, among other things. However, the biggest shocker, as reported by The Associated Press is that these books have been manufactured in China, a country that has been accused by the former US President for stealing American jobs and opportunities, something he has even chosen to address as part of his election agenda.

Is Trump going back on his own words?

It was found that shipments of these books arrived at the Port of Los Angeles on March 28, soon after Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that he and country singer Lee Greenwood are bringing in these Bibles. It was found by AP that these books were printed by a company in China’s eastern city of Hangzhou, and then it was shipped on a large vessel bound for Los Angeles. Nearly 120,000 bibles came in from China in between February and March, which Trump later urged US votes on buying, as part of his election campaign.

What is the cost of the 'Trump Bible'?

The books being distributed by the Republican campaign, are incredibly cheap, coming at nearly $3 per book, or even less. This also includes the shipment and printing cost, meaning that if this would have been made in US itself, things would have been much different and in fact, much more expensive for Trump. Therefore, this could be the biggest reason why he chose China in the first place.


However, it also appears that Trump resorted to hypocrisy when he, in his speeches, talked about unfair trade practices and loss of American jobs to China, while on the other hand, he gets his own manufacturing done in that country itself.
