President Trump chose not to place his hand on a pair of Bibles held by his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, when taking the oath of office on Monday.
Rather than following the traditional gesture, Trump stood with his left arm resting at his side and raised his right hand to swear in.
For the occasion, Trump used two Bibles: one belonging to his family, and the other, the Lincoln Bible, which had previously been used by Abraham Lincoln during his inauguration in 1861, and by President Barack Obama during his swearing-in ceremonies in 2009 and 2013.
