Seeing a lot of posts about Trump not putting his hand on the Bible and people commenting that he did with no sauce or because they don't want to believe it.
Here is a video where it starts at the 2:40 mark to show he does not put his hand on the Bible. 1 cell phone cannot block an entire view, nor arm, nor hand.

It just didn't happen, please accept this.
It is clear Melania is uncomfortable and probably even upset about this.
It is clear that there was no guidance for Trump to do so like with Vance.
It is clear that it was rushed and Melania was not given time to come up like Vance's family, but she knew what was going on and promptly did her part to get up there to keep things going. She was well aware regardless so good on her.
Take this for whatever you want. But the fact is, Trump did not put his hand on the Bible.
I agree….for symbolism I wish it had been done properly. The POTUS is sworn in before the public ceremony, so there is no functional issue that it didn’t happen.
Robert’s is the worst, and the flag is still at half-mast at the Supreme Court building.
John Roberts has fucked up the ceremony before. This includes the 2009 ceremony with Royally fucking up the oath with Barack Obama to the point that they did it again in private the next night.
Part of the reason for today's fuck up was because the ceremony was running late.
Here is what I believe was the true order of the ceremony:
Maybe it’s because he was still President so the oath is not necessary.
45-47 for a reason.
...exactly
Still it couldn’t hurt optics for him to do so. But I believe Robert’s set him up by rushing through the ceremony before Melania stood by his side. Now the left is having a field day over this.
The President is sworn in before the public ceremony.
Trump’s presidency is all about results! Trump will either do what he says or it’s all bullshit!
NOT a Constitutional requirement...
Thank you for posting. Trump didn’t get a chance to put his hand on the Bible because Roberta starting giving the oath before Melania got into position. He can always do the oath with hand on Bible at a later time if they realize, which I’m sure Melania will point out.
I hope they will clarify what happened too and redo the ceremony with prof to the public.
I think they will. Honestly, while I take it seriously, I’m pretty sure Obama and Biden did not.
The abrupt speed at which the moving on from Vance to Trump happened was such that the family had to scramble and it was over before they knew it.
Kavanaugh took enough time, Roberts rushed it.

In rushing like that, could Roberts been trying to make the official inauguration of President Trump void?
Or just knowing it would cause such a big stir.
This is a black pill. Not sure what it means.
I'll hold off from sharing this to my celebrating friends
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Time will tell us fren.
Could a lot of the religious leaders are going to go down for their crimes. The cabal had control over whole swaths of life even religion.
I hate the thought,but he may have to be careful what he touches.Perhaps the ceremony was rushed to make him forget what objects had been cleared safe to touch.He took the safest choice.
