Some pastors in the South aren’t thrilled about the “God Bless the USA” Bible being promoted by former President Donald Trump.
“The Bible doesn’t need anyone to put their name on it besides the author, who is God,” said Milan Dekich, a retired pastor in Alabama. “And it’s inappropriate for that to happen and to make it political.”
Trump advertised the new Bible on Tuesday on Truth Social. The former president has strong evangelical support, thanks in part to his backing of socially conservative policies, but has a mixed history discussing Scripture and Christian faith in general.
