AP News has an article out this morning that traces shipments of the "God Bless the USA" bible that DonOLD Trump is pitching -- as part of his for-profit product portfolio alongside diamond-encrusted watches, sneakers, photo books, cryptocurrency and digital trading cards -- to a printer in China’s eastern city of Hangzhou.

Global trade records reviewed by The Associated Press show a printing company in China’s eastern city of Hangzhou shipped close to 120,000 of the Bibles to the United States between early February and late March.

The estimated value of the three separate shipments was $342,000, or less than $3 per Bible, according to databases that use customs data to track exports and imports. The minimum price for the Trump-backed Bible is $59.99, putting the potential sales revenue at about $7 million.

A copy hand-signed by the former president sells for $1,000.

Cha-ching.

While president, his administration exempted Bibles and other religious texts from tariffs imposed on billions of dollars of Chinese goods.

Cha-ching.

Well, like they say: a fool and his money are soon parted.
