U.S. President Donald Trump captured the nation’s attention during his inauguration by breaking tradition. Instead of placing his left hand on the Bible held by his wife Melania, standing beside him, Trump raised his hand, sparking widespread curiosity and debate across the country. Despite the pomp of the inauguration and the power of his speech, the most searched topic on Google by Americans Monday afternoon was Trump’s surprising decision not to place his hand on the Bible. Trump had chosen the Bible once used by President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, alongside a Bible gifted to him by his mother. When asked for comment, his spokespersons declined to respond. #TrumpInauguration #OathOfOffice #BreakingTradition #NoBible #Trump2025 #USPolitics #Inauguration
