Lee Greenwood dismissed backlash to Donald Trump promoting his God Bless the U.S.A. Bible as just from the “Trump haters.”
The God Bless the U.S.A. musician joined Newsmax’s Bianca de la Garza on Thursday to discuss the Trump-endorsed Bible, which immediately received backlash after Trump posted a three-minute video pitching the $60 Bible to his followers on Truth Social.
“We’ve lost religion in our country. All Americans need a Bible in their home and I have many, it’s my favorite book, it’s a lot of people’s favorite book. This Bible is a reminder that the biggest thing we have to bring back America and to make America great again is our religion,” Trump said in the video.
Asked where the backlash comes from, Greenwood dismissed criticism, noting this specific Bible has been in circulation for years now.
“Oh, I think it’s just from the Trump haters. I don’t even believe people on the left hate religion. It’s just the Trump haters is all,” Greenwood said. “And we’ve been promoting this Bible for over three years so because the president has also asked the nation to pray and use that particular Bible — I mean, he could have used any Bible at all but because it has the documents of our Founding Fathers, I think that makes it unique.”
Greenwood showed off his copy of the God Bless the U.S.A. Bible signed by Trump, who regularly plays Greenwood’s signature tune at rallies. The musician declared he’s “proud” of the president for endorsing his bible.
“I’m so proud of the president for stepping forward and saying that he believes in God, he’s a Christian, and this nation still should be praying for our country,” Greenwood said.
