Trump fundraising Bibles are made in China. Is this hypocritical? Should they be subject to future tariffs? What should candidates do with leftover $?

[DrPepper12]

At least 120K of Trump's $60 Bible's were made in China (for $3 each a 1900% mark up). That is a fact per Fox News. In addition, Oklahoma School Superintendent has mandated that Bibles be in every classroom; the crux is that the way the law was written only Trump Bibles seem to qualify.

Regular PACs: Trump's PAC $ can be transferred to other committees he controls, but there are restrictions. PACs like his "Save America" can transfer funds to other political committees, including those affiliated with Trump, as long as they comply with federal campaign finance laws. However, these transfers cannot be used for personal expenses or converted into campaign accounts for his own election efforts. Joint fundraising committees can also distribute funds to affiliated committees.

SUPER PACS: Trump-controlled super PACs have significantly more flexibility with leftover campaign funds. They can spend unlimited amounts to support candidates, including Trump himself, in future elections, provided there is no direct coordination with his campaign. Super PACs can also donate to other organizations aligned with their political causes or keep the funds for future political activities.

Trump can hold the money in his SUPER PACs indefinitely by stating his future intention to run for office. This allows him to keep raising and holding funds without using them for personal expenses.

Over the past year, Trump has been actively moving at least $20 million in funds between his PACs to his SUPER PACs. This transfer has raised concerns about potentially circumventing campaign finance laws, as super PACs cannot legally coordinate spending with his campaign.

Additionally, Trump's campaign & affiliated committees have spent significant amounts at his properties, funneling millions into his businesses. These financial maneuvers are under scrutiny by the FEC.

This is a hypocritical grift & likely a plan for campaign finance violations

This is smart business AND leaves him kingmaker in MAGA party if he loses

The bibles concerns me cuz it appears to be hypocritical and another grift and a way to hold the purse if he loses. It could be any item at all but trump chose Bibles to facilitate this. That makes it sus. I'm not getting into hate and violence on both sides. Extremists are everywhere. We disagree on best POTUS ever. Not fit to stand trial? Impeached? WTF?

[MisterWack]

I personally don’t care about that since President Trump has been clear ,

“President Xi and I will always be friends, no matter what happens with our dispute on trade.”

Made that very f*cking clear, not hypocritical when you’ve made your position known for selling out the American people for ego & flattery.

-Trump

We all know who this guy is, yet people like to pretend he is someone else. He fooled me in 2016 then I flipped 2020, now come 2024 I really don’t want this guy in The White House, I want him in The Big House. He is fit to be a prisoner more than a president.

[RowdyYates]

I’ll never forget the presidential debate between Trump and Hillary. Hillary attempted to slam Trump by saying he buys steel from China. Trump told her that she’s been in government for 30 years and yet she was too stupid to stop him. Hillary‘s face turned as red as a stop sign.

Sounds like a storm over nothing. Everything is made in China, that's the problem. There's always been a bible in every classroom. The subject of religion is studied in schools.

[DrPepper12]

I assure you that there are NO Bibles in any public school ik of EXCEPT in the library and the elective course "Sacred texts in literature". You don't need the book to study religion.

[Dongie]

@@DrPepper12 Thanks to Madaline O'hare. Now, we have mass shootings instead of Bible and prayer. It's funny how you people can't handle a little prayer but shove that rainbow flag down our throats.

[Opinion Owner]

As far as I've seen there is a bible in any school that has a book shelf.

[DrPepper12]

I don't know where you're from but that shit won't fly here. Where? What grade level?

[Dongie]

How come, oh tolerant leftist, it's OK to preach against God but not ok to preach for God. Is it because that gets yous a win? Oh, tolerant side!! Or do you not see the irony?

[Opinion Owner]

Are bookshelves banned where you are from?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

This is a hypocritical gift & likely a plan for campaign finance violations

[Dongie]

DOC, you're going to get me preaching. Long-winded, but very interesting stories from yhe Bible.
What's the difference I'm you and several others "preaching" there is no God. Atheism is a religion that gets away with things Christianity does not. All in the name of no religion. It takes a lot of faith to disbelieve in God. That's why I don't believe there are any true atheists in existance. I think you are all just pissy, whiney brats throwing a tantrum. Hells full of'em.

[DrPepper12]

My question was political, not religious. Can you address that?

[RowdyYates]

There are no Trump Bibles. Trump endorsed Bibles that had the Constitution and Declaration of Independence in them. Oh My God! That rat bastard! He should be endorsing child sex changes and pronouns! What the fuck is wrong with him?

[Dongie]

I like the Rowdy.

Doc, why does it bother you about the bibles? Why do you on the left, the far-left regime that you vote for, always criticize? You are all full of hate for us on the right. We are the peaceful ones. We do not burn buildings or try gang beatings. And can you tell me why there is so much hatred for what was one of the best presidents ever? And he did this with constant bombardment from the democrats with all the fake, made-up lies. Did you see biden get impeached? I think if hrs declared unfit for a trial, then why is he fit to run a country. If we on the right did all that they do on the left, their heads would explode.

[Dongie]

@GoodGuysBreaking bad, why hypocritical? Every time Trump mentions our God, you people call it a fake act. That's not very nice. Very unbecoming. After all the attacks and everything thrown at him, he would turn closer to God. I swear, the far-left, and either side is ALL wrong when to the far extremes, is the party of hate not tolerance. y'all left that behind 8 years ago. Why, because of harsh tweets? Look in the mirror. I swear you people need to stop watching those brainwashing, mass hypnosis news channels and let your brain awaken. You would be much happier.

[Dongie]

@GoodGuyBreakingBad, 👆

[Juxtapose]

And what are you going to do about it? Vote for Kamala Harris so production stays in China?

[DrPepper12]

Why the whataboutism! Every time recently. If you Can't or don't want to answer the question then just skip it.

[Juxtapose]

I literally couldn't care less about the Bibles being made in China. It's so fucking irrelevant and uninteresting.

[DrPepper12]

Hypocrisy MAGA be thy name...

[Likes2drive]

It’s even worse when American flags are made in china

[DrPepper12]

But for this issue what's your take?

[Likes2drive]

Seems he he just knows how to play the system to his advantage when he wants to if he can move money like that but rich people know how to avoid taxes better

[RowdyYates]

Coffee cups are no longer made in America, nor are TV's. Trump wants to bring manufacturing back, but the Dems hate that idea.

[Likes2drive]

@RowdyYates Yeah I know, it’s ashame we don’t make much here

[DrPepper12]

Dems don't hate the idea. How simplistic. I'd love to bring those single breadwinner union jobs back!

What's Trump's PLAN?
PLAN? PLAN? PLAN?

If you say tariffs you are not a serious person

[Likes2drive]

I don’t think tariffs are the answer, probably just making more here and stop selling off land from here because they will control our food supply next if that doesn’t stop, what ever happened to having pride in our work and not always for how much money we can make
