Seth Meyers on Trump selling Bibles: ‘His slimiest cash grab yet’
Late-night hosts spoke about Donald Trump’s ad for a $60 Bible as well as some good news about one of his upcoming trials.

On Late Night, Seth Meyers said that Trump was “desperate for cash” while also barely coherent on social media, with a recent post claiming that Joe “Buden” has been a president who “misinformates” and that he needs to make America “grest” again.
“Did he post that while he was on a trampoline?” Meyers asked.
The post hadn’t been taken down as of airing. “Either he doesn’t know or doesn’t care or knows his supporters don’t care,” he said.

This week also saw the former president start to hawk Bibles, “his slimiest cash grab yet” with copies going for $60. “Yep, the guy who’s about to go on trial for paying hush money to cover up an affair with a porn star is selling Bibles,” he said.
Meyers jokes that “most of the 10 commandments are blacked out”.
He added: “Trump’s campaign isn’t in any way a real political campaign, it’s a money-making venture in an attempt to get out of jail.” Meyers also said that Trump “very obviously doesn’t care about making America great again”.

Trump is under an “avalanche of legal scrutiny” yet still finds time for his “non-stop grifting of the rubes” with a Truth Social ad for his new God Bless the USA Bible.
Colbert said it was “just like any other good book except in the middle
