What to Know About Donald Trump’s New $60 Bible

What to Know About Donald Trump’s New $60 BibleOne month after releasing a line of gilded high-tops for $399, Donald Trump revealed on Tuesday a new item: the Bible. “All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many,” the former president explained in a video promoting the country singer Lee Greenwood’s version of a Kim James translation, the “God Bless America Bible.” “It’s my favorite book,” Trump added. Throughout the rest of the clip, as if daring us into a collective disgust, Trump swerved through random opportunities to rail against bureaucrats and a country under threat—all while hawking a holy text. But his latest sales pitch also prompted some legitimate questions. Such as: What the hell is going on? And: Excuse me? Here, we try to answer some of the queries. So, that first question—what the hell—but more formally: What exactly is Trump promoting and how much will it cost…

Donald Trump’s Nine Lives

Donald Trump’s Nine LivesDonald Trump loves the musical Cats, and like the titular creatures, the former president seems to have nine lives. Today, in the face of yet another near-death financial experience, Trump got his latest reprieve. An appeals-court panel in New York State reduced the bond he must post in a civil fraud case from more than $464 million to just $175 million.Given that the past few months have seen Trump repeatedly use legal procedures to his advantage, drawing out the cases against him in the hope of eventually escaping them, this decision may look like yet another infuriating case of Trump extracting injustice from the justice system. But in fact it is not such an instance, and the reduction is actually quite appropriate.Recall the timeline. In mid-February, Justice Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump must pay more than $350 million, plus interest, after he, his sons, and the Trump…

Donald Trump, Meme Stock

Donald Trump, Meme StockAfter the stock-market frenzy that ensued when Trump Media & Technology Group started trading on Tuesday (under the ticker symbol DJT), one thing is almost certainly true: Donald Trump is now the chairman of the most overvalued company on Nasdaq.  Trump Media had a grand total of $3.4 million in revenue in the first nine months of 2023, against more than $10 million in operating losses. Its only product is Truth Social, Trump’s right-wing Twitter clone, which has a tiny user base, few advertisers, and no real prospect of challenging the dominant players in the social-media space. And yet, as of market close on Tuesday, Trump Media was valued at almost $8 billion, making it worth more on paper than The New York Times.Trump Media is, in other words, a meme stock. Like GameStop and AMC before it, it trades not on fundamentals, but on emotion. Exploiting that…

‘His Forefathers Are Rolling Over In Their Graves!’ Joy Behar Torches RFK Jr., Calls Him a ‘Cl…Joy Behar went after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a Thursday morning panel discussion on The View for possibly handing the election to former President Donald Trump. The conversation started with the co-hosts discussing the death of Joe Lieberman, the founding chair of No Labels, a political organization known for promoting third-party candidates. Whoopi Goldberg and Sara Haines argued that RFK Jr.’s third-party candidacy will likely not take votes away from President Joe Biden, while Alyssa Farah Griffin added that he should be “taken seriously” due to his organization and funding. Behar then accused RFK Jr. of trying to “destroy the election” and hand it to Trump, claiming that his forefathers would be ashamed of him. “Somebody has to ask him, why are you doing this? Why do you want to destroy the election…

Report: Trump’s Proposed Tariff Would Cost Families $1,500 Annually

Report: Trump’s Proposed Tariff Would Cost Families $1,500 AnnuallyFormer President Donald Trump’s plan to impose a 10 percent tariff on all imports to the United States would hike prices and cost the average American household $1,500 annually. That’s the sobering conclusion reached by a new economic analysis from the Center for American Progress (CAP) Action Fund, a left-leaning think tank and advocacy organization. The proposed tariff, which would be applied on top of existing tariffs according to Trump’s campaign, would translate into $1,500 in higher costs for the average American household. That includes “a $90 tax increase on food, a $90 tax increase on prescription drugs, and a $120 tax increase on oil and petroleum products,” according to Brendan Duke and Ryan Mulholland, the two economists who authored the report. The 10 percent tariff is one of the few policy proposals that Trump has outlined in any detail as he…
