Multiple video reviews analyzed by MeidasTouch revealed that notably missing from the Constitution in Trump’s Bible are the amendments following the Bill of Rights which make up the Constitution’s first 10 amendments. Trump’s Bible jumps from the original Constitution to the Bill of Rights and then to the Pledge of Allegiance, skipping constitutional amendments 11-27.

    The actual sales description from the official website:

    This Bible also features a copy of:

    Handwritten chorus to “God Bless The USA” by Lee Greenwood
The US Constitution
The Bill of Rights
The Declaration of Independence
The Pledge of Allegiance

    The US Constitution includes all Amendments, not just the ones Republicans like. The headline as written is 100% correct not just technically correct. Whereas your suggestion is downplaying reality and pure spin.

      The headline specifically states those two amendments are omitted because it is the most likely to cause outrage, not because it is the most accurate description of the situation. It’s not incorrect. It’s misleading.

      My county courthouse has a mural of the original constitution and the bill of rights: are they making a political statement by omitting all the other amendments?
