January 20, 2025.  Donald J. Trump was sworn into office as the 47th President of the United States.  The ceremony was held in the Capitol Rotunda due to cold weather.

Just prior, J.D. Vance was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

To clear up a controversy, Melania Trump was a few seconds late bringing the two Bibles her husband was to swear on.  The swearing in began without Trump putting his hand on the Bible.  Trump could have interrupted the ceremony, but if there was any mistake the MSM would have had a field day with it, so he preceded without it.  It is not mandatory for the President-elect to swear on a Bible.  It is a tradition which began with our first President George Washington.  In 2017, Trump did swear on a Bible for those who think his 2025 oath isn’t enough.

In 2009, Barack Obama had to be sworn in twice because of a misreading of the oath of office.  That was done for legal reasons.
