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.

Other. CJ Roberts started swearing him in before Melania joined him with the Bible.

I voted Other. In his age-addled narcissistic mind, he was lost in his mental gloating of "owning the libs" that tried to get rid of him. He just forgot.

Is "useless" a new euphemism for profitable?
 
U can't get more un-Christian than Trump.. Which makes the love affair Evangelicals have with him both funny, and sad as hell..

The so called war on Christianity is from the right not the left.. The hypocrisy from the right is off the charts..

I have 4 kids.. And their spouses.. None of them are religious.. The hypocrisy of the establishment religions and the private Jets, 14 million dollar mansons Evangelicals completely turned them off to religion..

We don't have pastors like that in my religion.
We just have modest living pedophiles.

To be fair, I wouldn't do either. It's a meaningless gesture. It would mean more if a politician was sworn in over the Constitution rather than the bible.
