God Bless Donald Trump’s Bible

Here’s something you don’t want to get: Donald Trump’s “God Bless the USA Bible.”

It’s $59.99.

When you donate 60 bucks to Midwest Values PAC, you don’t get a Bible. And if you did get a Bible, it wouldn’t have the New Testament. Actually, I haven’t thought that through. Probably because I have no intention of selling Bibles. Just winning elections.

Is it ironic that Trump is selling Bibles right before his hush money trial? Sure. Adult film actress Stormy Daniels, ex-fixer and lawyer Michael Cohen, and Playboy model Karen McDougal are set to testify. Will Trump testify? Oh, I hope so. I want to see the Bible burst into flames when he puts his hand on it.

But more importantly, I want Democrats to win elections around the country. Including the Big One: re-electing President Joe Biden.

This is a scary time. We all need to work toward the goal that Trump loses. And that we keep the Senate and take the House. And elect Democrats for state office. That’s why I write these letters.

P.S. I’ve decided that if I sold the Bible — which I won’t — I’d sell one with the New Testament and one without it. As my Rabbi used to say: “Jesus said a lot of great things. None of them original.”

P.P.S. That was a joke my Rabbi used to tell.

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since I started Midwest Values PAC to help Democrats win elections — from progressive organizations to state legislatures to Congress to the White House — who share the values I grew up with in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Since 2006, Midwest Values PAC has invested more than $4 million in 341 candidates and organizations — and counting. 

Of course, none of this happens without you (or supporters like you) who care enough to pitch in.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, the work is more urgent than ever. This year, we have a big job: flip the House, take the Senate, and win up and down the ballot at the state and local level.

To mark our 20th year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 26,000 contributions by Election Day 2026.

Thanks for being part of this fight, and for sticking with us for 20 years (or for just joining — welcome!).

P.S. Over the years, okay, decades, we’ve helped Democrats win tough races all across the country by investing early, intelligently, and strategically. That’s how you flip seats. That’s how you protect democracy. And that’s how you stop the worst impulses of a president who never should have been president in the first place.
