Trump Earns $208,000 From Bible Sales, Financial Disclosure Shows
US President Donald Trump earned $208,000 from sales of the God Bless the USA Bible, according to newly released financial disclosures filed with the US Office of Government Ethics. The earnings form part of a broader report detailing income from Trump’s business ventures during his first year back in office.
The Bible project is linked to country music singer Lee Greenwood and was promoted by Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign. The edition combines the biblical text with several American founding documents, including the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
The financial disclosure also lists income from several Trump-branded products and businesses. These include watches, sneakers, fragrances, golf resorts, real estate, licensing agreements, and cryptocurrency-related ventures. The filing offers a detailed look at the president’s financial interests while serving in office.
The disclosure has renewed debate over whether sitting presidents should continue to earn income from commercial ventures while in office. Ethics advocates have questioned the scale of the president’s business earnings and raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
Supporters of the Bible project have described it as an effort to encourage appreciation for Scripture and American heritage, while critics have questioned the blending of religious products with political branding. The financial disclosure has brought fresh attention to the Bible’s commercial success and its place among Trump’s many business ventures.
