The antique and authentic A. Lincoln Bible
provided to the POTUS 16 by SCOTUS
clerk Wm Thomas Carroll was utilized
by FLOTUS-elect Melania (Knauss) Trump,
3rd wife of the incoming President (D. J. Trump).
At the time of the swearing-in led by
Chief Justice John Roberts, she also stood up &
She held it along with a family Bible given
to her husband by his late mother Mary Anne
MacLeod Trump (A Scottish
"economic" immigrant who moved to the
USA seeking a job and/or marriage).
[She and Frederick Christ Trump married in 1936.
POTUS 47 was in the middle of their 5 children that
the couple raised in Queens, NY). Mrs.
Mary Anne Trump was born in 1912
and died in 2000.]
Inauguration having been moved
due to severe weather to the Capitol
Rotunda, D.C.
on Jan. 20, 2025 at Noon
Trump did not place his left hand on either Bible:
Presidential watchers remembered how Barack Obama
for his 2013 Inauguration used the Lincoln
Bible along with one owned by MLK.
Trump and Obama requested use of the
Lincoln Bible from the Library of Congress
during the swearing-in ceremonies from 2009, 2013, 2017,
and now 2025.
Neither Theodore Roosevelt nor John
Quincy Adams used a Bible at their
swearing-in Inauguration ceremonies.
