The big story is the total silence from conservatives. They tolerate anything Trump does no matter how bad it is.
There were lots of funny tweets along with the serious ones.
Look, I don't know where the rest of you stand on Bible-signing. I think it's weird; I would think it's weird no matter who does it. What I'm mostly being snide about is that once again, Trump is getting a pass from the right on something that would normally make them apeshit.

If during my Baptist childhood, Bill Clinton or even George H.W. Bush had signed a Bible…I cannot imagine how many sermons and revivals would have been dedicated to the blasphemy of our lost leader. https://t.co/XenXWGlQL3

I think a lot of recipients are going to be disappointed in the signature… pic.twitter.com/oUyjbtYYAO

Imagine how arrogant you would have to be to sign the FRONT of a bible…after paying for so many abortions. pic.twitter.com/JiDeiH08UW

Autographing bibles is NOT a thing someone intimately familiar with its contents would do

I don’t know who it is a worse commentary on: Trump actually signing Bibles in Alabama, or the people asking him to sign a Bible. Lordy Moses.

The Bible-signing “speaks volumes about how evangelicals see … Trump as a figure sent by God to protect them from all storms of life.” — Messiah College historian John Fea, via @ReisThebault & @spulliam https://t.co/6xpQZwLKGF

Resolved: If Donald Trump can autograph ‘Art of the Deal,’ Donald Trump can autograph the Bible. He didn’t write either.

Presidents have a long history of signing Bibles, though earlier ones typically did so as gifts with a spiritual message. Still, many religious leaders don't see anything outright wrong with what Trump did when he signed Bibles for tornado survivors. https://t.co/i72GfqU9yE

Sad!
