It is absolutely not a requirement to swear an oath on a bible, or even to have a bible nearby.
It just happens to be a longstanding custom in the USA. Many politicians take the oath on a bible just for the optics. DT, of all people, is all about optics. Dude probably wasn’t paying any attention, and surely winging his swearing given the last minute changes.
In any case, shouldn’t everyone be applauding a president for refusing to touch a bible, tacitly denouncing religious contexts near government?
Except when Trump was asked what his favorite book of all time was, can you guess what he answered?
That’s right. He said The Bible was his favorite book. You do understand the difference between actually believing in something, or just being a hypocrite and a con-man, right?
It’s not about whether it’s a requirement or not. It’s about a con artist revealing the con, and watching people like you handwave it away.
I thought he won because the handling of the day to day economics of the average citizen was in shambles, but yeah, clearly magic sky man holds more weight

Yeah aside from the whole using the Jesus vote to win thing.
