“It’s not true,” White House spokesperson Judd Deere told TPM via email, later clarifying that he meant the auctioneer does not possess the Bible and that the tome is not up for auction. Deere did not address TPM’s query on whether Trump had indeed signed the Bible.

“I’ve been in business for 40 years, my dear, and I know autographs,” the auctioneer said when asked how he could prove to customers that the item was legitimate.

We know he signed Bibles for Alabama tornado victims.

This is no stretch.

Ivanka probably got a little pocket change for it.

I believe Zimet. Trump has had the going price of his autographs on his mind lately, and that kind of thing is a tell.

Trump autographed prior to giving it away.

“It’s not true,” White House spokesperson Judd Deere told TPM via email

“Trump would never give anything away, he’d sell that bitch for a lot of Benjamins, to, um, help with his campaign.”

The Bible in question came straight out of Ivanka’s purse, didn’t it? Doesn’t take a genius to add 2+2.

Looks to me like the sidewalks are what needed the work. Wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t properly installed, not enough cement base so they started sinking. The whole job was done on the cheap. Trump probably siphoned off the top for his campaign chest.
