Donald Trump announced recently on social media his partnership with singer Lee Greenwood to sell Bibles. Their "God Bless the USA Bible" will sell for $59.99.

So, we asked readers to share their thoughts about the former president and Greenwood selling Bibles ahead of the 2024 election, and whether they would buy one.

Here's what you said:

● Perhaps a quote attributed to the author, Sinclair Lewis says it best ― “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.”

— James Forrest, Edmond

● A total idiot. He’s never even opened a Bible. How can one man stoop so low. No class. In my opinion

— Jim McAuliff

● Wow! The next thing we might hear is that he wrote the Bible.

— Aulena Gibson

● I would never buy a Bible from a person that has such a list of charges for all the sins in the Bible. Unless if proffered his confession of sin and that the Bible helped him change his wicked ways.

— Cheryl Pennington

● This is a "good grief" moment for many people who understand someone is trying to con you into believing he’s a “Christian.“

Why would anyone with half a brain buy one from him or anyone else for that matter? Go to your local bookstore or church if you really need a Bible.

— Jan Dixon, Noble

● Trump selling Bibles? I wouldn't buy anything endorsed by Trump, much less a Bible!!!!!

— Steve Epp

● I purchased 2 and I live in Hanson, Massachusetts. I had been meaning to buy one for our house and so purchased another one for our best friends. Our son took our old Bible to our second house in Maine, so I wanted one for our Hanson home and another for friends in Hanson, MA.

This new Bible is perfect for these days where it seems like if Donald Trump/Lee Greenwood have something, there are always people that have to find fault with it. Where did the old days go where we could buy a Bible and no matter where it was from they wouldn’t find fault with it. It’s the people that have a problem with former President Trump or Lee Greenwood that need all the prayers we can have for them. We need more Christians and Bibles … even with a copy of the Constitution included these days! ...

— Betty Dahlberg, Hanson, Massachusetts

● Great idea! He supports Christ's word and in the Bible, Matthew 28: 19-20 and Mark 16: 15-20, Jesus said: “Go ye into the world and preach the gospel to all creation."

— Vivian Purnell, Oberlin, Ohio

● Thank you for asking the question about whether I would be interested in buying one of Trump's Bibles.

The answer is categorically "NO." The man is a con artist who has now fallen so low in the trade that he displays such an arrogance as to demean those who do profess the Bible. Trump has turned Christianity into a punchline of comedians. I hope and trust that everyone who has ever found spiritual nourishment from the Bible announces to all their friends that this thinly veiled attempt to con his followers will do nothing but enrich the man selling them, and in the process lower the importance of the Bible's message to nonbelievers, who themselves have come to see that Christianity is just for those who can be fooled by anyone. Trump has lowered Christianity's credibility as a source of truth for the lives of everyone. He is no messiah.

— Jim Troxel, Chicago, Illinois

● Abomination sacrilege

— Joe Powers

● I absolutely would not buy a Bible from Trump and I find it appalling. To take God’s holy word and sell it for profit to finance his own agenda is sinful!

— Michael Stevens

● Not a Trump fan. I don’t believe he’s a Bible believer. Not after all the stuff he’s done and said.

— Jane Hood, Oklahoma City

● Did someone read to him the "don't do adultery' part? Yes, it is one of the big 10 Commandments, apparently he does not care.

— Bob Dies, Norwalk, Connecticut

• Absolutely NOT!

— Dana Morrow, Oklahoma City

● This offends me on many levels. If he was a truly good person, he would give those away. "God Bless America" on a Bible offends me. He is so completely awful.

— Adrienne Day, Norman

● No. Trump has proved to be a criminal, narcissistic, and I have never seen him attending church. When my husband and I visited Cuba during Trumps reign, there were many similarities in Trump’s behavior and that of Cuba’s leaders.

— Lynda Ramsey, Yukon

● I would not buy one. This is just more of Trump's phoniness and self-serving, self-absorbed agenda. As a life-long Republican, it is mind boggling that he is our party's nominee.

— Matt Wheatley, Yukon

● Absolutely not. I am a Bible reader, but Mr. Trump's behavior certainly does not exhibit that he is. One of the best memes I've seen about it placed one of his quotes, what Mr. Trump calls "locker room talk" on the front of the Bible along with his signature.

— Mary Lou Moad, Edmond

● Bibles should be endorsed by our faith-based organizations, not politicians and entertainers, neither of who seem to practice the teaching of this book. Then again, maybe they haven't read the Bible; they just use it when asking for money. I DEFINITELY would NOT buy one of these Bibles. At least Hank Williams had enough class to release the song "Dust on the Bible."

— Richard Hall, Norman

● It’s a pathetic grift. To bastardize a religious text by adding political documents to it is sacrilegious and embarrassing. And then to sell it for a huge profit. There is no rock bottom for him. And no, I won’t be buying one!

— Liia Bray, Edmond

● Absolutely not. It's the most blatant form of pandering I've ever seen. The Lord I believe in is surely ashamed at His Word being reduced to nothing but a campaign cash grab. It's an insult to both Christianity and this country.

— A. Connell, Oklahoma City

● If you are serious about wanting a leader who models the virtues of Christianity, then Trump is not your candidate. He demonstrates few, if any, of the virtues that characterize a disciple of the Christian faith. Yet many professing Christians continue to follow him even buying expensive Bibles, conflating nationalism and religion, the proceeds of which will ironically go towards his mounting legal bills. I'm not the first person to recognize how well Shakespeare's words apply here, but I don't mind re-sharing: "The devil can quote Scripture for his purpose; An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the core." ― Antonio, Act 1, Scene 3, Merchant of Venice

— Pat Smith, Edmond

● I will definitely buy this Bible. To link the Bible with our Founding documents solidifies the fundamental principles of our Constitution. Lee Greenwood created the Bible in 2021. No one thought it was controversial until President Trump promoted its sale. I wish more people would offer their star power to promoting people to buy a Bible.

— Pam Pollard, Midwest City

● Absolutely, YES! This country is in great need of God's word and President Trump needs to keep pace with the Democrats "fund raising," if you can call it that.

— Ron Donnelly, Porum

● I worry for any person who would buy one of these politicized bibles. Trump partnering with Lee Greenwood to sell "God Bless the USA Bibles" is predictable and disgusting. American-branded bibles are among the most sophomoric forms of Christian Nationalism ― the marrying of church and state. Christian Nationalism is both explicitly anti-Christian and unconstitutional; (true) Christianity prioritizes faith over any/all countries (including the USA), and America's First Amendment explicitly says the government cannot create a state-sponsored religion. That a presidential candidate is profiting from Christian Nationalism indicates a deep rot within that politician's party and the country as a whole. Lord, bless this mess.

— Alex Shirley, Oklahoma City

● The Bible is free in the App Store, and the U.S. Constitution, Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, and Bill of Rights are all readily available online. This is a blasphemous attempt to exploit Christianity for political purposes (and to raise money for mounting legal bills), and I hope good-faith Christians do not fall for it. Their $60 would be better spent taking care of themselves or in their local community/church. This is clearly a fundraising attempt for an embattled ex-president. The guy can’t even tell anybody his favorite bible verse … does he know one? He should spend more time reading the Bible and less time trying to profit off of it.

— Chris Cordova, Oklahoma City

● Thanks for posting this. I just ordered a couple.

— Gary Schones, Oklahoma City

● I think the question might need to be re-phrased. Perhaps the more important question is what do you think God would think? Personally, in my opinion, I do not believe God is pleased with (the) marketing pitch. Remember when Jesus cleared the Temple? Yeah, it’s like that.

— Jo Hogan, Choctaw

● The incorporation of any documents, even those as respected and revered as The Constitution and Bill of Rights, into a repackaged and sold version of the Bible is blasphemy by even the most liberal use of the term. If one believes in the sacred nature of the Bible presenting any other document as its equal and packaging it as a political fundraising tool is beyond reprehension. No.

— John Woods, Norman

● Trump is a despicable human being. I wouldn't buy one of his Bibles if it was the only book available in the bookstore. A person should purchase a Holy Bible if their religious conviction tells them so; not because some snake-oil salesman is pitching them for his own personal gain. Shameful!

— Russell Unruh, Yukon

● Trump is a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, even if it means having to resort to cheating the system, or acting out of character to appeal to voters and donors of faith. He's using the Bible and Lee Greenwood to give off a false sense of "wholesomeness" to stimulate donations. I used to think Lee Greenwod was a decent person with dignity. But now that he has sold out to Donald Trump, I don't.
