Bible Barbie's latest accessory (now we know who handed 45 the photo-op bible)

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/02/us/politics/trump-walk-lafayette-square.html

.. "After a day in which he berated “weak” governors and lectured them to “dominate” the demonstrators, the president emerged from the White House, followed by a phalanx of aides and Secret Service agents as he made his way to the church, where he posed stern-faced, holding up a Bible that his daughter pulled out of her $1,540 MaxMara bag." . ...(more)

What the hell are these two women doing advising the President of The United States? They have zero qualifications. Hicks is a former model who worked for Ivanka’s clothing company. Ivanka is one of those spoiled clueless brats who was born on third base and thinks she hit a home run. Trump has turned this country into a banana republic.

He's never read more than the title on the outside of the good book.

It would have been the Hebrew Bible. Perhaps that’s why Trump would only say ”It’s a Bible.”

to Judaism a little quizzical is that adherence to a tradition of faith and strict ethics doesn't seem like a family trait.

I'm sure that it was a practical decision based on a decision to marry a Jewish person and become a member of his community--and I don't fault that. What I do find fault with is the bewildering, continued connection to a man and a mindset that despises minorities. Many followers of that same man and that mindset include Jews in their list of undesirables.

But hey, why the hell Ivanka, Kushner and Miller didn't implode with hypocrisy while sticking with Trump after he declared the tiki-torch carrying marchers "very fine people" when they had shouted "Jews will not replace us!" is beyond me. I stand a better chance of understanding quantum physics first.

"Bible Barbie." HaHaHaHa!!! I almost choked! And that was supposed to be her idea, when Citizens everywhere know that it was only a photo op! It took ALL of us two seconds to figure it out!

HaHaHa!
