Political Weirdos

It does not actually matter, but it is worth mentioning that conservatives will and have often lost their shit over non Republicans who are sworn into Congress or the Senate without their hand on a Bible, or will just entirely make up stories that claim they did not, and then state that this makes them not actually have any legal authority.

There are fucktons of examples of this in the last 2 decades, it is basically a room temperature IQ criticism or fabrication that is routinely thrown by Republicans and conservatives at Democrats.

If Trump actually didn't swear in whilst touching a Bible, it does not actually matter, but it does illustrate the general idiocy and hypocrisy of Republican rhetoric.

Not concern with the Book I know that. What's makes it weird is he pretending to swear into a book and doesn't he attempt to place his hand on said book. Swear in anyway you want. But don't act all christian by bringing in the bible and not even swear in on it. Fucking hands at his side. Might as well said fuck it and left his other hand down too.

All of the above is true.

I think it's more likely that he didn't put his hand on the book because he has no idea what's going on.

I hope this actually sets a modern precedent where the next President doesn't have to pretend to be Christian.
