Yes, Trump Signed Bibles. But It Isn’t As Strange As You Might Think.

President Donald Trump traveled to Alabama on Friday to comfort those who had been devastated by the tornado outbreak last weekend that killed 23 people. During the trip, the president raised eyebrows for what appeared to be an unusual gesture, as he signed some Bibles. He didn’t do this out of the blue though. It seems a 12-year-old boy got the ball rolling when he handed Trump his Bible and asked him to sign it at a Southern Baptist church in Opelika. A 10-year-old also asked him to sign her Bible. He doesn’t appear to have been the only one. Video posted online seems to show first lady Melania Trump also signing Bibles.
