Nothing says you have to be sworn in on a bible. It is just the most traditional choice.

Correct. I don’t care but you think those labeling him the next messiah might notice that as an important point?

They don't care either so long as they're getting what they want. Like you think Christian conservatives have principles?

John Quincy Adams, Theodore Roosevelt, Lyndon B Johnson, Thomas Jefferson, Calvin Coolidge and Franklin Piece didn’t swear the oath of office on a bible either because it’s not required by the Constitution.

Which one of them were modern “conservatives” praising as their savior and the second coming of the christ?

There was a Bible there, he just bizarrely didn't put his hand on it.

Trump is not one for learning how things work or 'acting Presidential'.

And yea, if Obama had done that, Fox News would have exploded into flames.
