A detail that went unnoticed by many yesterday: during the inauguration ceremony, Donald Trump did not place his left hand on the Bible. Although this is not a constitutional requirement, it is part of the tradition, with presidents and vice presidents taking the oath with their left hand on a Bible brought by themselves.

Vice President JD Vance took the oath with his hand on the Bible, and Trump, during the inauguration of his first term, also placed his hand on the Bible.

In the video of the moment, it appears that the judge in charge of the ceremony began reciting the oath before Melania Trump could position herself next to her husband with two Bibles in hand, which may have caused some confusion during the ceremony.
