Earlier this year, ex-President Donald Trump flogged his ‘God Bless the USA’ Bibles, calling them ‘my favorite book’.
It turns out thousands of copies were printed in the same country that Trump frequently accuses of stealing American jobs – China.
A printing company in the eastern city of Hangzhou shipped out nearly 120,000 of Trump’s Bibles to the US in three increments from early February to late March, according to global trade records.
The shipments totaled an estimated $342,000 in value, which breaks down to less than $3 for each Bible.
Trump was selling his Bibles for $59.99 a pop, meaning the sales revenue could amount to roughly $7million.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from .
The latest shipment of Trump’s Bibles to arrive were carried by a container vessel that docked at the Port of Los Angeles on March 28, which was two days after the former president unveiled the item.
Trump at the time said he was ‘proud’ to partner with country singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood on the Bible, which contains the chorus of his song, ‘God Bless The USA’.
‘All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many. It’s my favorite book,’ Trump said in a video promoting the product. ‘I’m proud to endorse and encourage you to get this Bible.’
