Trump is signing Bibles for tornado survivors
There's nothing more priceless than a signed first edition copy of a beloved book. President Trump is delivering the closest thing to that he can.
Trump embarked for Alabama on Friday after a wave of tornadoes killed at least 23 people in the state last weekend. He flew over the devastation in Lee County, visited a memorial for the storms' victims, and, in a very normal post-disaster move, signed Bibles for survivors and volunteers at a church turned disaster relief center.
Books are typically signed by their actual author, which, in this case, we can affirm Trump isn't. Then again, you can also grab signed copies of The Art of The Deal, which Trump supposedly didn't write either.
