Here is the Website for the Bibles:

God Bless The USA Bible | Lee Greenwood

Do you know who is not mentioned nor pictured on the website? - Donald Trump

So let us recap the OP

Trump endorses the Bible -

Trump receives no money from the sales
Trump's image is found nowhere on the website selling the Bible
Trump's name is found nowhere on the website selling the Bible

Yet we are told to believe otherwise.

I have yet to see any proof Trump profits from the reprinting of the KJV Bible.

By "endorsing" (whatever that means in this case) the Bible Trump is making a special appeal to Christians.
He is exploiting it for political gain.

But I ask again , What Christian values does Trump exemplify? How does he "endorse" it by the way he lives?

Then you really do not understand Donald. He does nothing without being paid.

Mr Trump proudly crowed: “Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless the USA Bible.”

The MAGAs don't seem to care about separation of church and state. They seem to be excited about the prospect of pushing the Bible and Christian beliefs and traditions onto the rest of USA.

Except promote this Bible.

He is NOT being paid for it.

From the website: "GodBlessTheUSABible.com uses Donald J. Trump’s name, likeness and image under paid license." It is unclear how much Trump is being paid but he is clearly, per the information on the Bible's website, being paid.

Clearly incorrect.

What part of 'licenced his likeness' confuses you?

 

[Akita Suggagaki]

Maybe not direct monetarily but by "endorsing" the Bible, Trump is making a special appeal to Christians and thus exploiting it for political gain.

 

[JustOneWay]

He is NOT being paid for it.

Donald doesn't do anything for free.

But, since you used all caps for NOT, perhaps you know this for a fact. If so, please present the statement (not from Donald because is is a known liar) which shows Donald is doing it for free.

God Bless The USA Bible if you go down to the last FAQ, it says:

“No, GodBlessTheUSABible.com is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign. GodBlessTheUSABible.com is not owned, managed or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Ventures LLC or any of their respective principals or affiliates.

GodBlessTheUSABible.com uses Donald J. Trump’s name, likeness and image under paid license from CIC Ventures LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms.”

CIC Ventures LLC has a principal and mailing address with Florida’s Division of Corporations at 3505 Summit Blvd. West Palm Beach, FL which is the address of Trump International Golf Club. Detail by Entity Name

It also says in there the title manager is John B Marion IV who is at least in 2021, representing Donald Trump as his lawyer according to this letter Former President Trump's Attorney's Letter To Town of Palm Beach | PDF | Mar A Lago | Trust Law

Money for using Trump’s name, image, and likeness to sell Bibles is arriving in Trump’s building to someone who has legally represented Trump. That money is awfully close to Trump for him not to receive any of it.

Last time I looked, they appear to love the attention he gives them. I don't think they believe they are being exploited. (When I say he I mean Donald and not some trans person).

CIC Ventures was also the same organisation that licensed Trumps NFTs and his golden sneakers.

'Instead, the Trump-owned CIC Ventures LLC (which was also behind Trump’s NFT digital trading-card venture) has licensed his name to another company called 45Footwear LLC.' https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/absolutely-everything-we-know-about-the-trump-sneakers.html

Also:

'NFT INT LLC, the seller of the cards, used Trump’s name and likeness under a paid licensing agreement through a company called CIC Digital LLC, according to the site.

Trump also made more than $5 million in income from speaking engagements through a similarly named company called CIC Ventures LLC, the disclosure shows. Trump made a bundle of cash selling NFTs, financial filings show.

Anyone who thinks that he isn't getting a significant amount of money for these 3:00am infomercial type promotions...well, the degree of naivity is off the scale.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

No he doesn't - from the link in the OP - NONE of the money is going to him.

I find it very unlikely there’s any kind of business venture that’s attached to or using Trump’s name and likeness that isn’t benefiting him in some way. Let’s not be naive.
