A Southern historian described President Trump signing the Bible during his visit to tornado-torn Alabama as “right next to sacrilege.”

“I’d never sign someone else’s Bible,” Wayne Flynt, an Auburn University professor emeritus told AL.com. “That’s right next to sacrilege. That’s a holy book.”

Joe Biden’s former chief of staff, Ron Klain, also criticized the president.

Funny how the people who elect people like Omar into power and are killing off unborn children and even celebrating this claim to care about Bibles...

“He signed Bibles with the same hand he used -- as president -- to sign hush money checks to an adult filmstar,” Klain said.

No mention of which hand Democrats used to vote against protecting babies from infanticide.

If he walked on water, they would say “Trump Can’t Swim”.

Yesterday afternoon Trump was spotted walking on the water of the Potomac River in DC. Washington Post headline the next morning, TRUMP CAN NOT SWIM!

Did these people bring their Bibles for DJT to sign? Was he supposed to decline? The press would be all over him like ugly on an ape - President refuses a simple signature to tornado victims.

You’re right.

Has anyone tested that?
We could ask someone on the left:

Could you please name something President Trump has done right or is right about?

Probably because he knew the book would burst into flame.

He might first have to ask what is a Bible?

At least one person had a sense of humor.

“People don’t understand the purpose of Trump signing Bibles,” said one person. “May people are without a way to prepare food after a disaster. When Trump signs a Bible, its bursts in flame and people can cook over it.”

Yes. They consider the physical book to be sacred. They consider the Word of God to be profane literature.

When I saw the “anger” on Facebook over this - I replied the following:

I currently serve with ABSC (Arkansas Baptist State Convention) Disaster Relief. Our teams regularly give property owners a signed Bible (signed by all the members of the team on-site) upon completion of the clean-up. it’s a gesture of friendship and our love for them. We are not taking credit for anything, but instead -giving credit to God who allows us to serve Him as a sign of His love.

Democrats use churches (mostly Black churches at that) as campaign platforms - pretending to be great Christian hope - while voting to murder millions of babies -

Which is more “sacrilege”? Some poor tornado victim digging out their Bible and asking the President to sign it - or abject abuse of what is suppose to be a Church?

I have a New Testament, that was my Dad’s from his time in the Army in WWII. It has a note with FDR’s signature. Standard issue GI.

The headline the day after his inauguration:

I’m guessing these vicious dolts use the same hand to eat with that they use to pleasure themselves...without washing in between.

the “news” report I saw on this topic displayed bibles signed by Bush and 0bama.

It’s not like Trump was signing it as the author or anything.

It’s just part of the ongoing effort to ABNORMALIZE everything Trump does, doesn’t do, says or doesn’t say.
