Mediaite reports:
President Donald Trump did not place his hand on the Holy Bible Monday as he was swearing into office for a second time, multiple clips of his inauguration show.
Trump was sworn in by US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts at 12:01 ET Monday to begin his second term in the White House. Melania Trump stood by his side as he recited the oath with both a family Bible and the Lincoln Bible stacked on top of one another.
Rather than place his left hand on the two Bibles, Trump kept it to his side as he he raised his right. Footage from CNN, Fox News, Fox Business, and MSNBC shows his left hand remained at his side throughout his reciting the oath.
Read the full article. If Harris had done this, right now X would be flooded with posts declaring that she was signaling her allegiance to Satan.
