Donald Trump made his fortune in real estate, but the Republican candidate for the White House is currently offering a selection of unusual items for sale.
Bibles to ‘restore America’s faith’
The former president began selling Bibles, “his favorite book,” online around Easter.
“We have to make America great again,” he said in a video – a nod to his signature presidential campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”
Donald Trump, who has made repeated appeals to evangelical circles since his election in 2016, strongly encouraged his supporters to get a copy of the holy book, which sells for $59.99.
They are being distributed in collaboration with the famous conservative musician Lee Greenwood, whose hit “God Bless the USA” is the rhythm of each of Donald Trump’s rallies.
Sneakers for “fighting”
For $299, supporters of the billionaire can also buy a pair of sneakers commemorating the first assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
On these white shoes decorated with the American flag, the septuagenarian is depicted with his fist raised and his ear bleeding, as after the shots that targeted him in mid-July.
Below, in capital blue letters, the message “Fight!”, “Fight!”, “Fight!”, a reference to the words spoken by the candidate after being injured, which have become a rallying cry among his base.
Like the Bibles, these sneakers are being distributed as part of a paid partnership with Donald Trump that, in theory, is not intended to fund his campaign.
Pieces of costume
This summer, Donald Trump also began handing out small pieces of the costume he wore during his televised debate against Democratic President Joe Biden in June.
It was after his catastrophic performance that the octogenarian leader threw in the towel in favor of Kamala Harris.
For $1,485, “you can own a very tangible piece of presidential history,” the website boasts, offering the pieces of fabric affixed to trading cards.
“This is something you can give to your family, your children, your grandchildren!” Donald Trump said in a video.
Coins with “his beautiful face”
Donald Trump announced over the weekend the creation of silver coins bearing his image, available for purchase from Wednesday.
The pieces, which sell for $100 each, are “a true symbol of American greatness,” the former White House resident said in a social media post.
Heads: An image of the White House, surrounded by the United States national motto “In God We Trust.”
Front: The head of the 45th President of the United States.
“I’ve seen a lot of coins in circulation that use my beautiful face,” Trump said in a video. “But they’re not official coins.”
They cannot, of course, be used as a means of payment.
