Donald Trump’s bible racket tells you everything you need to know about Trump:

They cost Trump $3 each; he sells them for $60.

These “God Bless the USA” bibles are made in China.

They contain the Constitution, BUT, without the amendments that abolish slavery, provide equal protection under the law, establish the right to vote regardless of race, establish women’s right to vote and presidential term limits.

Trump's 'God Bless the USA' Bibles were printed in China, AP review finds

Thousands of copies of Donald Trump’s “God Bless the USA” Bible were printed in China, a country that the former president has repeatedly accused of stealing American jobs and engaging in unfair trade practices. Global trade records reviewed by The Associated Press show a publisher 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 largest and most recent load of 70,000 copies of Trump’s Good Book arrived by container vessel at the Port of Los Angeles on March 28, two days after Trump announced he had partnered with country singer Lee Greenwood to hawk the Bibles. The Trump campaign did not respond to emails and calls seeking comment.

I can’t find it now, but according to some review, even the bible part of that bible is cheaply done.
No cross references or anything like that. Just the pure public-domain text of the King James bible.

Found it.
Basically the only positiv thing he had to say was that it »opens nicely« and lies flat. 😅

And we get a look at the end: Constitution + Bill of Rights, i.e. up to amendment 10.

And they know nothing about typesetting. They demonstrate why you don’t do roman numerlas with a blackletter typeface. Their »III« definitely looks like eye-eye-eye.

Turns out i was somewhat wrong about the roman numerals.

I was right that you don’t use blackletter capitals, like they did, as roman numerals.

But it is fine to use lower case blackletter like that.

Also, you may use, or people have used, a j for the final one. ij, iij, vj &c.
