Yeah, she did get in late. Still, he could have put his (tiny) hand on the good book in a delay. Especially since they brought their own bible (or were they going to sell some after the ceremony? LOL).
I am.. You Trump cultists are calling it a 'book'.. Not me..Are you a believer?
Nope. I am am a atheist.Are you a believer?
Makes me wonder if someone can decline to put their hand on the bible when testifying in court?Many President's did not put their hand on a bible, particularly those of early years among Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson and John Adam's among them. Nor did Teddy Roosevelt or Calvin Coolidge. It is more of a ritual that developed later to fit the needs of those taking the oath. There is no requirement for it in the Constitution.
Has Every U.S. President Been Sworn in on a Bible?
It’s traditional, but not required.www.mentalfloss.com
He ran for POTUS.Yeah, he's almost 80. You gotta give the man a bit of leeway
That’s what I thought.Nope. I am am an atheist.
It's there in plain sight. Why did he not place his hand on the bible?
And while we're at it, why did he bring his own bible? (for this question, fun answers are welcome!)
Trump is the oldest man to ever be sworn in as President.He ran for POTUS.
He trashed Biden for his age.
No quarter (leeway) for Trump.
**** Trump.
Oh, and whenever Trump speaks of "religious freedom" he only speaks of it when Christians are involved. So much for diversity.Other.
Trump doesn't care all that much about taking part in useless traditions just for the sake of traditions.
With our diverse and varied religions, focusing on the bible makes it a useless tradition.
No.
No, it's because there are very few products that Trump does not put his name on.Not really...though you do seem to know what deodorant he uses.
On the other hand, you probably found out about that because some Trump hating media told you about it.
Yeah, she even looks as if she likes him.Melania was not in position when the oath started. Take a look a Vance and Usha, even with kids in tow she was right there with him before he even started the oath.

Oh...so you DON'T know what deodorant he uses. You just picked that one because it has his name on it.No, it's because there are very few products that Trump does not put his name on.
Can you name another president who hawks deodorant stick?Oh...so you DON'T know what deodorant he uses. You just picked that one because it has his name on it.
Okay.

Surely you do.Oh...so you DON'T know what deodorant he uses. You just picked that one because it has his name on it.

You sure are hung up on deodorant.Can you name another president who hawks deodorant stick?
What brand of striking paper does Trump favor?Oh...so you DON'T know what deodorant he uses. You just picked that one because it has his name on it.

**** Trump.
All Trump does is refuse to pay contractors for their work.You sure are hung up on deodorant.
Tell me, can you name another president who builds skyscrapers?
I don’t give a shit about the Bible.And this is what you'll **** Trump about? An unimportant bit of ceremony? The man's about to build concentration camps and you concern is whether he fingered a book?
The point is lost on me... but whatever.That’s what I thought.
