Massive outrage as Trump autographs copies of the Bible for Alabama tornado victims
President Donald Trump on Friday held a meeting with those who had been affected by the tornado in Alabama after it claimed 23 lives in the region. However, the commander-in-chief caused an uproar on social media after he appeared to sign some copies of the Bible. While Trump was blasted online for his unusual gesture, it wasn't out of the blue.
According to Slate, it was a 12-year-old boy was first approached Trump and asked him to sign his Bible at a Southern Baptist church in Opelika. Following suit, a 10-year-old girl also asked him to sign her copy, thereby getting the ball rolling. What's more? Footage from the gathering posted online shows First Lady Melania Trump also being asked to sign Bibles.
