Stephen Colbert criticized Trump's scheme of selling Bibles by highlighting that Trump is charging $60 for content that is freely available to the public.
Colbert critiqued Trump's video promoting the sale of Bibles:
Trump: I am proud to be collaborating with my good friend, Lee Greenwood. Who doesn't love his song 'God Bless The USA'?
Colbert: Yes, who doesn't love Greenwood's 'God Bless The USA' and his other popular hits like 'Thank you for blessing USSA, god.' You know who really loves that song? Lee Greenwood. He has a different ad for this bible with that message.
Commercial: Presenting the limited edition 'God Bless the USA' Bible, inspired by Lee Greenwood's hit song and the most famous patriotic anthem in America, 'God Bless The USA'.
Colbert: Yes! I challenge anyone to name a more famous patriotic anthem in this entire nation. A kind of national anthem, if you will! I jest, of course. We all know it's 'Party In The USA.' [Cheering] Thank you for your service, Miley! Long may you wrecking ball.
Trump: This bible is the King James version and also includes our founding father documents. Yes, the constitution. Also the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
Colbert: So you're spending $60 on content that is freely available to the public. 'If you order now, you'll get all the lyrics to Camptown Races and a picture of Jesus' most beloved disciple, Steamboat Willie.' Trump continued to promote.
Trump: All Americans need a bible in their home, and I have many.
Colbert: Yes. It's true. Many. He has to have spare bibles. Because every time he holds one, it bursts into flames.

The Bible sales scheme is ridiculous and can be easily laughed at for its absurdity, but it's far from the worst thing that Trump will do to America on any given day.
This is a guy who stole classified and government documents and hid them in his bathroom. He is capable of much, much worse before most of us have even finished our morning coffee.
As Colbert pointed out, the 'USA' bibles are not new. This scheme has been around for years. The only difference is that Trump signed a licensing deal to promote these corruptions of faith to his targets.
Donald Trump can't even hold a bible right side up, yet he's selling them as if he's an expert.
It is ridiculous and deservedly criticized by Stephen Colbert.
