You can copyright a translation of a bible, and they usually are unless they're an old translation.

The KJV is not copyrighted in America. Trump bibles are kjv.

Any preface or art work or anything else attached? Those parts can be copyrighted. Even the cover design could be.

Let's be honest Trump has nothing to do with the making of this thing, someone somewhere figured they could make a quick buck off the evangelical right and got Trump to sign on for, probably, a revenue share.
