This is false. Biden was not mocking the Holy Bible itself, he was specifically commenting on Donald Trump's "God Bless the USA" bible that he is selling for $60.

Biden, in this tiktok video, is not actually making fun on the Holy Bible. He is referring to Donald Trump's book as a "bible" even though it is not actually one. Biden mentions that he is trying to sell "his bible" which is Donald Trump's book.

This is false. President Biden was discussing Trump's Book as his own Bible and trying to sell it. Biden was not talking about The Holy Bible. This was just a misleading post that caused people to be confused.

Joe Biden wasn’t actually mocking the Holy Bible within this TikTok. It’s in reference to former president Donald Trumps book. And this was really an attempt at mocking or giving a jab at Trumps book and his audience.

This is not true.  Biden is referring to Trump's book as a "bible" and not referring to the actual Bible.  TikTok is a source that tends to edit its videos for more views, so it is not a reliable source.  He was mainly making jabs at Trump.
