Self-admitted pussy grabber Donald Trump is now using his hands to sign Bibles.

On Friday, POTUS arrived in Alabama to survey the devastation caused by deadly tornadoes. As part of his tour, Trump stopped by Providence Baptist Church in Lee County, where he met with first responders as well as residents who were impacted by the storm. He shook some hands, snapped a few photos, and, of course, offered his autograph. 

"I enjoyed him coming," local volunteer Ada Ingram told The Hill. "I think it's a godsend. I'm sorry. The situation is bad. And there are going to be people who will say 'why did he come to my town?' I don't know why. I don't why the hurricane happened [either]. But there is a reason."

Ingram, who said she would vote for Trump again in 2020, confirmed the president had signed several items for those in attendance. Some of the items reportedly included hats, $100 bills, and, yes, the Holy Bible.

Naturally, Twitter users had a lot to say about Trump's decision to scribble his name on the Bible. Some praised the move, while most found it bizarre, distasteful, and offensive. You can check out some of the reactions below. 

People don't understand the purpose of Trump signing bibles. Many people are without a way to prepare food after a disaster. When Trump signs a bible, it bursts into flame and people can cook over it. https://t.co/k8fkKyzZQB

That Trump is such an narcissist that he would sign his name to a bible is not nearly as disheartening as so-called Christians ASKING him to sign their bibles. https://t.co/ZqEJhreN91

Hang on.

I'm just trying to picture what Fox news would look like if President Obama had signed Bibles for disaster survivors.

“You know, I’m automatically attracted to Bibles I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.” https://t.co/riEmIhmIbn

“Signing bibles” is not a Christian tradition in any church I’ve ever encountered. https://t.co/Iog0XP6bxu

I seriously cannot imagine the absolute outrage and round-the-clock coverage this would've earned if President Obama went around signing Bibles. My God. https://t.co/6SgoYZYx7d

"President Trump is signing bibles" pretty much sums up the state of evangelical Christianity today. https://t.co/ORkYGeahRD

These Bibles were never opened by Donald Trump, or any of the people who own them
