In a stunning twist, an old controversy involving Donald Trump has resurfaced, and it’s making waves again. This time, it revolves around a shady Bible-selling scheme that allegedly duped loyal supporters into purchasing bulk quantities of “Trump Bibles.” The shocking resurgence of this scam has left Oklahoma reeling, where recent reports suggest that a bulk buy of these so-called "holy books" has rekindled outrage across the state.
The Bible Scheme: Origins and Fraud Allegations
The scandal originally dates back to Trump’s presidential campaign days, when entrepreneurial grifters allegedly sought to cash in on the former president’s fanbase by selling Bibles supposedly endorsed or autographed by Trump himself. While these “Trump Bibles” were marketed as rare collector’s items blessed by Trump’s touch, it soon became clear that the entire operation was a con.
Customers who had spent hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars on these books later discovered that the Bibles were not signed by Trump, nor were they in any way connected to him. Some who ordered bulk quantities, hoping to resell them at a profit, found themselves with worthless stock that couldn’t be moved. The scheme vanished for a while, only to reemerge in Oklahoma in a shocking new twist.
Oklahoma Bulk Buy: A New Victim of the Scam?
Recently, reports have surfaced that a large church organization in Oklahoma purchased an enormous amount of these “Trump Bibles” in bulk, unaware of the fraudulent history behind them. The deal, which cost the church tens of thousands of dollars, was meant to equip community members with a symbol of faith and patriotism, but it has quickly turned into a public embarrassment.
“People were really excited at first,” said one Oklahoma resident familiar with the bulk purchase. “They thought they were getting something special, something unique. But now it feels like we’ve been taken for a ride.”
The Bibles, emblazoned with Trump’s image on the cover, were touted as special edition versions of scripture, with many believing that they were directly tied to Trump’s legacy. However, once the Bibles arrived, it became clear that they were mass-produced knock-offs, with no real connection to the former president.
Anger Grows: Faith and Politics Collide
For many in Oklahoma, this scandal represents more than just a financial loss—it strikes at the heart of their faith. Religious communities who believed they were purchasing a meaningful religious artifact are now left feeling betrayed, not only by the scam but also by the political connection to Trump.
“There are people in our church who feel like their faith has been exploited,” one member of the congregation shared. “We trusted that these Bibles were a symbol of our values, and instead, we were used as pawns in some kind of money-making scheme.”
While Trump himself has yet to make a public statement about the resurgence of the scam, critics have been quick to pounce, accusing the former president of allowing his name to be associated with a fraudulent enterprise that preys on his most loyal supporters.
Social Media Erupts with Fury
The scandal has also spilled onto social media, where furious comments and memes have taken over, with hashtags like #TrumpBibleScam and #BibleGate trending across platforms. Many users mocked the idea of a “Trump Bible” altogether, while others expressed outrage that such a scheme could be revived.
