We (America) have even given a great, great gift - one last chance to be a righteous nation. We have been a reproach for way to long.

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs14:34

Umm why didn't he place his hand on the bible when he swore his oath ?

I had to watch the tape again. It looks like Melania was a few seconds late in placing the two bibles she had for Trump to place his hand on. By the time she had his Bible from 1955, and the Lincoln bible, the Chief Justice had already started the oath.

They have a table set up at the inauguration parade arena with a bunch of stuff for him to sign and pens right there. Can’t wait!!!!
I love his BIG FAT SIGNATURE

The Bible was present and he swore the oath. Good enough for me. Did Biden put his hand on the Bible when he got sworn in? Because it obviously meant nothing to him.

Maybe I remember wrongly but didn't Obama use the Koran?

Ok so it's just the media playing David Copperfield tricks and then saying he something he didn't do .

Fair enough then i'll give him a pass

Listening to the Inaugural speech. President Trump said we would not forget our Great God.

It would be good if president Trump would stop talking now and just get to signing those orders.

Some onlookers observed that President Donald Trump didn't place his hand on the Bible when sworn in at his inauguration, prompting questions about how the Bible traditionally factors into the ceremony.
While it is common for incoming presidents to place their hand on a Bible while taking the oath of office, it's not a legal requirement.
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."

Our Covert Ops fetched a couple more alternatives for you. The team is first rate, I'm telling you, some would even say they're the best Covert Ops team there is!

I don't think it was Trump's fault for not placing

So many are asking me, so I'll address it here.
Trump and the Bible and the "Swearing In"

First, NOOOOOO, Trump did not intentionally refuse to place his hand on the Bible.

Chief Justice Roberts hurriedly started administering the "Oath of Office" BEFORE Melania could even approach!

May have been oversight or time issues....not sure yet.

It WASN'T TRUMPS FAULT!
It was Roberts who would not wait.

Now, Constitutionally, all one MUST DO, is raise their right hand and swear to the Oath.
Abd THAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED..
THANK GOD!

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump asked for a "re-do", although it's not needed.
