  2. The 14th is notably missing iirc, which should surprise no one:

    > **Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights**

    > Section 1 Rights: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

    > Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office:
    No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

  3. >Trump’s Bible jumps from the original Constitution to the Bill of Rights and then to the Pledge of Allegiance, skipping constitutional amendments 11-27.

    AKA all the hippy-dippy liberal ones.

    Also, without the 12th amendment, it’s going to be a fun time when Trump and his VP get the same number of electoral votes.

  4. I thought this was some joke or rhetoric, but nope. It’s a legit physical “bible” (which can be purchased for $60).

    Easy guess how amendments 11-27 were left out, judging by the photos of the book: The person compiling the text copied the Constitution directly from the archives.gov site which ends with the list of states (again, exactly what the photos show) but notably that page does not include any amendments. Then they just do the same for the Bill of Rights, which also doesn’t include 11-27.

  5. They left out all the woke amendments. What a bunch of crybaby traitors. If it doesn’t glorify white, conservative men, they want no part of it. But we’re supposed to believe they’re the ultimate patriots, and champions of our constitutional republic. 🙄

  6. A bastardized Constitution in a $60 Bible. Might be the most Republican thing I have seen this week. Which book of the Bible contains the US Constitution?

  7. That’s OK because other than 2a, the SCOTUS Six believe that Amendments are optional.

  10. See, this is how he gets you. He charges you separately for the next set of amendments.

    I’m surprised he isn’t selling old and New Testament as separate chronicles for double the grift.

  12. Moses destroyed the first set of commandments but I doubt Trump is following in those footsteps with amendments in reverse here lol.

  15. **22nd Amendment (1951)**: Limits the President to two terms in office.

  17. They show you & tell you. He projects himself each week when he reads aloud a 2 minute story “The Snake” —> there’s not much that can be done if people don’t or won’t hear of it.

  18. Correct me if I’m wrong, but is not a bit weird to put the constitution in a bible anyway?

  19. He didn’t, “skip equal protection and term limits.” He only did the Bill of Rights and skipped the other 17 amendments.

    Selling Bibles with parts of the Constitution is already disgusting. It doesn’t need click-bait articles to make it sound “worse.”

    He may not believe in equal protection or term limits (I believe he doesn’t), and it is critical to our society, but that’s not why it’s not in there.

  20. Here”s the broader implications of Trump’s version of the constitution as summarized by GPT4o (no custom instructions):

    Rolling back Amendments 11-27 of the U.S. Constitution would have severe and multifaceted implications. Democratic processes would be weakened, potentially increasing authoritarian tendencies by eliminating direct senatorial elections, restricting voting rights, and allowing extended presidential terms. Civil rights protections would be drastically eroded, reversing progress on racial, gender, and age-based equality. Social stability would be threatened, likely leading to unrest and heightened inequality. Government functionality would suffer, with disrupted procedures for presidential succession and incapacitation, and loss of federal income tax revenue would cripple essential programs and services. Overall, such actions would profoundly destabilize the nation, undermining the foundational principles of democracy and justice.

  22. Someone check to see if all Ten Commandments are in the Bible. Might have overlooked the one about coveting thy neighbor’s wife. And stealing. Taking the Lord’s name in vain.

    Actually, is there any Commandment that Trump hasn’t violated?

  23. No 22nd Amendment? Maybe Obama could give it another go…

  25. Just delete the portions you don’t like and it will tell a lot about you

  26. Missing you say? Has anyone looked for them in a Maralardo bathroom?

  28. Just a reminder a vote for Trump is a vote for fascism
