Get your Trump Prayer Coins here!

Don't be surprised. You just KNEW someone would be coming out with this.

Impeachment or no impeachment, removal or no removal, I sincerely hope that Trump's legacy will  include how he unleashed a "grifter class" on America. From conspiracy theory spewing slop artists to propaganda rags to Twitter bomb-throwing shysters, a segment of  hucksters felt emboldened by Trump ascension to the highest office to grab a moment for themselves in the spotlight hoping to gain attention and few bucks.

And no where is this more prominent than in right-wing evangelical circle. Trump has given them an unwritten, self-appointed mandate to hustle and sell their wares. Trump's personal pastor  Paula White,(or as I call her -  "Sister Hot Mess)  is just one of many.

Disgraced former PTL head Jim Bakker is another. He has hopped with both feet on the Trump train, as you can see via this tweet in which he and another religious leader are selling a coin which is then supposed to be used to pray for Trump possible re-election. It can be yours for $45.



Before Trump came along, Bakker was promoting "emergency food buckets," which he encouraged people to buy in case of an "apocalypse."

I'm not lying as the video below proves. It features some guy wearing a butt-ugly shirt on Bakker's show selling these buckets by singing an awful song to the tune of The Temptations' 'My Girl."



If you think that's bad, I got one worse for you. Before it was taken down from Youtube for copyright violations, another video featured Bakker promoting his buckets with a cringe worthy version of the Bee Gees' song 'Staying Alive."

How ironic for this to come out on the day of Trump's most assured impeachment and when - in fighting said impeachment - one of his Congressional supporters claimed that Jesus had more rights at his crucifixion than Trump does during his impeachment.
