Country music singer Lee Greenwood, a longtime supporter of former President Donald Trump, has faced criticism for appearing on Fox News to promote his 'God Bless the USA Bible' line, which includes Bibles featuring Trump's and other Republican figures' names. Many on social media accused Greenwood of exploiting religion for profit and criticized the politicization of the Bible.

Why it matters

Greenwood's promotion of Bibles with political figures' names highlights the ongoing debate over the intersection of religion, politics, and commercialism in the United States. Some view this as an inappropriate mixing of faith and partisan agendas, while others see it as a way to promote patriotism and conservative values.

The details

During his appearance on 'Fox & Friends', Greenwood brought out one of his 'God Bless the USA Bibles' and encouraged viewers to purchase them, including a 'Presidential Edition' with Trump's name and a 'First Lady Edition' with Melania Trump's name, each priced at $99.99. Critics argued that Bibles should be freely available, not sold at a premium with political branding.

  • Greenwood's appearance on Fox News occurred on February 16, 2026.
  • The 'God Bless the USA Bible' line has been available for sale on Greenwood's website, GodBlessTheUSA.com, for several years.

What they’re saying

“LOL, now Lee Greenwood is on the Bible grift: the 'God Bless the USA Bible' available now! Coming soon: Kid Rock's 'Bawitdaba bible' and Ted Nugent's 'Cat Scratch Fever Bible.' But all three and avoid the #TrumpTariff. MAGA is a sick, criminal cult.”
