Contributing sentiments towards policy:

80% : " "It's my favorite book," Trump added.
79% : But you might also be thinking of this incredible clip of Trump attempting to name his favorite verse.
67% : Trump is encouraging his supporters to buy a Bible endorsed by himself and Lee Greenwood.
55% : So, I'm sorry, but let me ask again: Is Trump making money off this? The New York Times reports that "according to a person familiar" (classic) Trump will receive royalties from sales.
55% : Not to my knowledge.
52% : One month after releasing a line of gilded high-tops for $399, Donald Trump revealed on Tuesday a new item: the Bible.
48% : " Wait, what is CIC Venture LLC, though? Okay, so CIC Ventures LLC is, according to the Washington Post, basically a pipeline to Trump:
47% : Hasn't Trump made headlines before with a Bible?
46% : So, that first question -- what the hell -- but more formally: What exactly is Trump promoting and how much will it cost me to shell out for this?
45% : If you ever want to wallow in political depression, check out this quick compilation.
34% : Throughout the rest of the clip, as if daring us into a collective disgust, Trump swerved through random opportunities to rail against bureaucrats and a country under threat -- all while hawking a holy text.
31% : Trump is in a serious cash crunch.
29% : You're probably recalling that despicable photo-op when Trump held up a Bible in front of St. John's Church, which had been a location of racial justice protests in the days prior.
28% : There was a complicated saga, afterward, about whether or not Trump deployed the police to clear protesters to get to the church.
17% : Wasn't there another time Trump and the Bible made waves for something far more stupid? Christian nationalists adore Trump, so there have probably been many times that Trump has referenced the Bible.
