Donald Trump sworn in as 47th president of the United States



President Trump did not place his hand on a stack of two Bibles held by first lady Melania Trump as he was sworn into office on Monday.
Instead, Trump stood with his left arm down by his side as he raised his right hand for the oath of office.

Trump used both a family Bible and the so-called Lincoln Bible, which was sworn on by the 16th president in 1861 as well as Barack Obama in 2009 and 2013.

President Trump did not place his hand on the Bible as he took the oath of office during his inauguration on Monday.
First lady Melania Trump stood next to him holding two Bibles: The Lincoln Bible, which was used at Abraham Lincoln's 1861 inauguration, and a Bible given to Trump by his mother when he was a child. Images show Trump did not put his hand on them as he was sworn in by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. His right hand was raised while his left arm hung down at his side.
It's not a legal requirement for the president to place a hand on the Bible while taking the oath of office. Article VI of the U.S. Constitution states that "all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

I can see Melania is ready to go back to Puritan times.

Of course he didn’t, because he is just one of many devils in disguise that a majority would have his “followers” (ironically) believe in! Wake up, people

Of course not because he knows he's not going to tell the truth
