?? The only people I see bitching aren't his base. But maybe you've seen otherwise?
You're right his base will either not care or excuse it, but it will and does alienate those that he needs to be his base, at least on election day. Dang I forgot, Trump doesn't need them to win...........

@bigheadfred

I weighed in, and I'm not "his base." I'm just someone who doesn't want Joe Biden (or any other Dem) to "win" (and all that that implies) in November. That said, I'm lamenting the fact that I did weigh in as this is yet another TDS vortex. There are only so many ways you can express hatred for Trump. None are clever, nor are they new. The TDS pool entertains itself. Nada más

Hate is a very strong word. I do not hate Trump.  I think those that give Trump a free pass on any and everything just because he's Trump, need a reality check.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Who gave him a free pass? I weighed in expressing my disagreement with this tactic.

His base only will defend him and offer a lame excuse.  I'd be very interested to find out how well this goes over with Evangelicals.

If you look beyond the selling part he is saying iwhat the Evangelicals want to hear (my opinion only).

I think this  is just one of  things that make people  roll their eyes

I can’t picture anybody saying “I was thinking about for Donald Trump until I saw he was selling Bibles and now I changed my mind.”

I’m actually looking forward to see what he sells next.

I think it all goes into the mental hopper of how people think about Trump, and whether a particular straw breaks the camel's back will vary from person to person.

No single thing that he has said or done convinced me not to vote for him.   It was an accumulation of a lot of things that, in the aggregate, were too much to overcome.

Yes, I too am not basing my decision on just one of the things that he has done are on one particular failure -- it has been an accumulation of a lot of things that he has done.

Personally I don't think ridiculing someone reaches the level of hate, if it did where would that leave Trump? There would be an enormously large segment of the population, especially comedians that would be shut down for hate speech....and that's such a liberal socialist democrat kinda thing that should be shunned.

He crossed the line and has decided to go down a very slippery slope.

@libertybele

Good of you to notice what a slippery slope religions really are.

Frankly,I am shocked  you would notice.

Very bad idea. Only those who love the Lord understand how sacred His Word is. Trump camp needs to nix this tout de suite.

@AllThatJazzZ

Can't be  VERY sacred. There are Bibles all over the place.

For only $39.99 more you can get the special editions version of "Two Gay Corinthians" holding hands on the cover with Trump waving the gay flag in the background. As a bonus certain sections of the Bible have been surgically removed (ripped out).

I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I've got my plastic Trump
Glued to the dashboard of my car,
You can buy Him phosphorescent
Glows in the dark, He's Orange and Pleasant,
Take Him with you when you're travelling far ......

Ahhh,an oldie,but goodie from my childhood!

You misspelled the name "Jesus",though.

This is not the week for money changers in the temple.

@DefiantMassRINO

Does this mean there will be no  collection plates passed  around in churches this  week?

I'll believe that when I see it.

Def. an unforced error. 

Trump needs to stop these gaffes that alienates his base.

@catfish1957

It alienates a lot of people who are not his base,also.

I could sort of agree with  and understand it if his campaign were giving them away,but frankly,religion has no place in politics,and politics has no place in religion.

This is fresh news.  Let's wait 3 or 4 news cycles to see if the gaffe has any traction.  I am not going to outright accuse DJT of blaspheme, but this is pretty close, considering his moral history.

@catfish1957

That's true.

He is certainly the only Politician/President/President candidate that has broken his marriage vows. </S>

Not true. The  "AH HATES RICH  ORANGE MAN" groupies will never run out of hatred for someone born into wealth.
