"The presidency has turned into a grifting infomercial" — Internet reacts as Lee Greenwood says Trump may take oath on limited edition Trump bible

A day prior to Trump's oath-taking ceremony on January 19, 2025, country music star Lee Greenwood told Fox News that the 47th President of the U.S. may take the oath of office on a limited edition Trump bible. Greenwood, who performed at the President's inauguration ceremony, mentioned that the bible was going to be released after the oath-taking ceremony as a tribute to Trump becoming the 47th president of the U.S.

The singer added that there were only 5000 copies of the bible and that he might put his hand on several of those limited edition bibles during the ceremony. Netizens quickly took to X to put forth their perspective on the possibility of the 47th president taking an oath on a limited edition bible as a tribute to himself.

Commenting on the same, an X user tweeted:

"The presidency has turned into a grifting infomercial"

"Jesus would be ashamed how the MAGA cult is treating God's word." an X user commented

"Tomorrow, you’ll be able to buy Trump limited edition sections of the soiled Depends from the evacuation during the swearing in ceremony," another X user mentioned

"Is this new limited edition Bible a strategic move, or just another marketing stunt?" an internet user questioned

Some netizens also commented on the commandments of the President's limited edition bible:

"The only Holy Bible I know of is the King James Version. I can only imaging the Ten Commandments in the "trump bible," an X user tweeted.

"Trump’s limited edition Bible has edited out the following Commandments - 6. You Shall Not Commit Adultery. 7. You Shall Not Steal. 8. You Shall Not Bear False Witness. 9. You Shall Not Covet Your Neighbor’s Wife. 10. You Shall Not Covet Your Neighbor’s Goods. These edits have been approved by Evangelicals and Republicans who support Trump," a netizen mentioned.
