Trump's Bible omits key amendments to the constitution - like the abolition of slavery!

From JD Wolf, MeidasNews

Multiple video reviews analyzed by MeidasTouch revealed that notably missing from the Constitution in Trump’s Bible are the amendments following the Bill of Rights which make up the Constitution's first 10 amendments. 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.
.....
That means Trump's Bible is missing the amendments abolishing slavery and granting women and Black people the right to vote from the volume's back matter.

If the section is labeled “Bill of Rights,” then it would just include those first 10 Amendments which were added at the same time. The rest of the amendments were not a part of the Bill of Rights.

Eliminating them from a document being sold as the Constitution is fraudulent and ultra extreme "originalism."

It is a declaration that the other amendments should be ignored and that the constitution consists only of the main original body and the Bill of Rights.

It treats the other amendments as illegitimate or non-existent even though Article 5 in the original main body specifies the ability and means of making amendments. I think Midas Touch should check the Trump Bible Constitution to see if it leaves out Article 5.

The Bible didn't include ANY amendments beyond the Bill of Rights.
