Controversy at Trump's 47th Presidency Inauguration

During Donald Trump's second inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, he notably did not place his hand on the Bible while taking the oath, which was held by First Lady Melania Trump. This deviation from tradition sparked widespread attention and criticism, with some suggesting it was either a deliberate break from protocol or an oversight. The event was marked by the presence of prominent figures from Silicon Valley and politics, emphasizing the intersection of wealth and power. Despite not using the Bible, Trump's oath remains legitimate as the U.S. Constitution does not mandate its use. In his speech, Trump attributed his survival from two assassination attempts during his campaign to divine intervention, asserting his mission to 'make America great again.' The inauguration was also characterized by a strong focus on issues such as the southern border and the impact of California wildfires on affluent communities.
