Trump takes the oath of office and doesn't place his hand on Bible
During his 2017 inauguration, Trump placed his hand on a family Bible stacked atop Lincoln's while taking the oath. While reciting the presidential oath of office is mandated by the Constitution, using a Bible isn't. Trump is certainly not the first president to not use a Bible during the swearing-in ceremony.
Trump didn't place his hand on the Bible during his swearing-in, and some of his supporters are blaming John Roberts.
