JESUS WOULDN'T APPROVE OF TRUMP SELLING CHRISTMAS MAGA HATS FOR DOUBLE THE PRICE
What would Jesus do about President Donald Trump's overpriced Christmas hats?
The president's online store might be launching its own War On Christmas after offering a holiday edition of the infamous red "Make America Great Again" hats — complete with "Merry Christmas" and some holiday light designs — for $45, nearly double the price of the regular caps.
Some Trump fans might rush to get these as stocking stuffers. But one very important figure — the son of God himself — probably wouldn't approve.
Trump has habitually cited the Christian Bible as a guide for his leadership, although he seems to have glossed over its anti-consumerist ethos.
Trump 2020 campaign has a new hat for sale. Costs nearly twice as much as regular MAGA hats. But it lets everyone know you’re a soldier in the War on Christmas.
In 1 Timothy, The Bible says, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."
Throughout The Bible, there are clear warnings about greed.
"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you,'" Hebrews 13 reads.
The Bible even takes a stand against hats, regardless of whether they're selling for $45. 1 Corinthians says you shouldn't cover your head while praying.
"Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head," it says.
Trump has boasted about his wealth and sexual liasons to ungodly extent compared to other men who have entered the Oval Office. But he has nonetheless married himself to Christian and Evangelical supporters, hoisting his Bible up during speeches and declaring Christianity is under fire from political correctness.
He vowed in at least one speech to bring back the Christ in Christmas.
"When they don't want to say Merry Christmas in department stores anymore, I won't shop at places that don't say Merry Christmas," he told supporters at Dordt College, a Christian liberal arts school, in January 2016.
"I'll tell you one thing: I get elected president, we're going to be saying Merry Christmas again. Just remember that. And by the way, Christianity will have power."
Trump bragged about his faith as recently as last month.
"I pledged that in a Trump administration, our nation's religious heritage would be cherished, protected and defended like you have never seen before," he told a crowd of Christian conservatives at the Values Voter Summit. "Above all else in America, we don't worship government. We worship God."
The Christmas "MAGA" hats are the most expensive headwear in the Trump campaign store, and cost as much as a Trump Christmas ornament. Just a few weeks ago, the store offered orange hats with a Jack-O-Latern image for Halloween, also at $45.
Last year, Trump's hat-shaped campaign ornaments became a big point of controversy because they sold online for $149, since they were finished in 24-karat gold.

I thought it would have real lights.....
Would Jesus approve trump doubling the price of the Christmas hat?
In a word, NO.
Anything to make a buck....loathsome creature he is.
Curly mustachioed attorneys are expensive! Gotta cover those fees somehow. Money from the wallets of morons is a good start.
All his hats are basically the same thing, except for the message on the back.
There are probably dopes out there that have bought all of them. Because they're "different".
"I'll tell you one thing: I get elected president, we're going to be saying Merry Christmas again. Just remember that. And by the way, Christianity will have power."
Oh, yeah? Does he plan on wiping his big fat ass with the First Amendment?
Nope! The left has already used it and the rest of the Constitution for that purpose.
Did you happen to read the blue, bold, text I copied and pasted?
Are those the words of a man who firmly believes in the First Amendment? Which is ironic because I doubt if he even knows the 10 commandments or the shortest verse in the Bible
Yup. It sounds just like someone using his free speech rights to freely express his religious beliefs.
Until he actually makes good on his threats.....
What threats?
How much did Jesus charge for his carpentry work?
E.A Enough to make a Living from it, and be known as " The Carpenters Son " and hence he was compliant with " Let those that do NOT work neither eat "!
The same thing he has done about war, child abuse, pedophiles, cancer, AIDS, genocide, the plague and the atrocities committed by his "followers".
NOTHING.
There exists such a thing as free will. Man has shown how truly evil he can be at times. Doesn't have a thing to do with God.
When you think about it, it does deal with god. God, the supposed creator of everything, created man, free will as well as evil. So why be outraged about something that is "Gods creation"?
Who's outaged? Besides Democrats?
I'm not outraged. If you want to spend 40 bucks on a shitty hat, that's on you. I, of course, will be laughing at while I spend my hard earned 40 bucks on something worthier...like dinner out somewhere
That's my point.
Well, good for you!
Now, if you could just convince some of the others on here that this is none of their business, the better.
Why should I? That's your job. My job is to heckle
Oh, I am okay with people being less than intelligent about stuff like this. It always amuses me.
I see you like the last word, too.
Jeremy, you miss the point. Trump is the one parading his intention to put Christ back in Christmas. His Christmas hats really should reflect Jesus ideas, don't you think? I doubt Jesus would support price gouging.
How could one consider a hat to be a necessity or think this could be considered price gouging? I doubt you will find many that share in your definition of price gouging.
I'm not missing the point. What has Jesus done about anything I listed? Not much of a damn thing. So why should we think he would be upset about a hat?
All the price gouging going on and you are worried about a hat?
He sells the exact same hat for 25 bucks or so. But without the Merry Christmas on it.
Trump puts Merry Christmas on it to show he is all in for the "War On Christmas' . He knows he has a built in group of 'Christians' who will just have to have it so he jacks up the price 20 bucks for the suckers.
Meanwhile we highly and rightfully expect Jesus would not approve.
Really none of your business WHAT his hats sell for. People are free to buy them or not.
people routinely overpay for stuff, IMO.
But it isn't MY business how OTHER people spend their own money.
So I don't go around bitching about $1000 cell phones or $100,000+ cars.
Why do you?
TDS is stronger in others than the general population.
You cons are so original.....
Yeppers----almost as original as the people who ceaselessly bitch, moan, and whine about all things Trump.
God, it must chap your ass no end to have Trump as YOUR President!
Is that the best you can do?
Oops, sorry--I tend to play down to the level of the competition, my bad!
I'll try to do better!
Jesus told me he wants to know why Trump raised the price 20 bucks for Jesus followers.
SO what did you tell Him?
If that was meant to insult me....you failed
Kind of misses the mark when it has to be explained, anyhow,
