Union Seminary President Serene Jones expressed concern over President Donald Trump signing the Bibles, believing that it symbolized "Christian nationalism" rather than authentic Christian belief. 

"My issue is with the man who signed the Bible—his Christian nationalism that mocks everything Christ lived and died for—not with folks who received them," tweeted Jones.

"And with the broader, twisted 'faith'—replacing God with herrenvolk democracy—which our President represents," she added in reference to the type of democracy in which only one ethnic group, or "master race," is allowed to participate.
