YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Trump did not place his hand on a stack of two Bibles held by first lady Melania Trump as he was sworn into office on Monday. NY Post reporter Caitlin Doornbos shares this story.

Instead, Trump stood with his left arm down by his side as he raised his right hand for the oath of office.

Trump used both a family Bible and the so-called Lincoln Bible, which was sworn on by the 16th president in 1861 as well as Barack Obama in 2009 and 2013.
