Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, with a number of hidden moments occurring before and during the inauguration

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance both used Bibles with sentimental value to take the oath of office.

Donald Trump raised his right hand while placing his left hand on the Bible Monday afternoon. He then took the oath of office and was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.

Trump didn't place his hand on the Bible during his swearing-in, and some of his supporters are blaming John Roberts.

Trump's second inauguration day begins with a service at St John's Church, Lafayette Square, followed by tea at the White House.

President-elect Donald Trump will use two Bibles to culminate the 60th Presidential Inauguration. He is not the first to do so, nor to use the historical Bible he chose.

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president Monday, promising a “revolution of common sense” and taking charge as Republicans assume unified control of Washington, D.C., and set out to reshape the country’s institutions.

Presidential inaugurations hold a symbolic place in U.S. history, with the choice of Bible often reflecting personal or national significance.

President Donald Trump faced backlash after critics noted that he did not place his hand on the Bible during his inauguration on Monday, raising questions about the tradition’s significance during the formal ceremony.

Elgindy said Trump and then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had used the accords to "marginalize the Palestinians, to weaken them, to take away leverage, to sort of force them to the negotiating table."

The president freed the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, disparaged California firefighters and welcomed the members of a new American oligarchy to Washington.
