They want kids to learn the 10 commandments that themselves don’t follow, and have Trump of all people as moral compass, living example of high morality standards. But as usual follow the money of this gang of Pharisees who was ousted from the temple by no one else than Jesus.

There's no story in the gospels where Jesus ousts Pharisees.

You’re right the text doesn’t say they was Pharisee these robbers selling in the temple. But the Pharisees didn’t stop them taking benefits from the peoples, as they might have been totally complicit or benefiting these practices.

Sadducees controlled the Temple. Pharisees were a competing sect.

Citations fucking needed for all of that. Conversely, Pharisees didn't control the Temple, but even if they had, money changers would still have been necessary. The fees were set at about 2.5%, and fees were waivable in cases like poverty (Tr Shekalim). Don't learn about Judaism from Christian myths
