The 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, surprised everyone by taking the oath contrary to tradition.
According to the World News Agency, when Donald Trump was taking the oath of office, his wife Melania was standing with a Bible in her hands.
Melania Trump was waiting for Donald Trump to place one hand on the Bible and raise the other in the air while taking the oath, which is tradition.
However, Melania kept waiting and Donald Trump completed the oath without placing his hand on the Bible.
It should be noted that in American law, it is not mandatory for the president to take the oath by placing his hand on the Bible, but the tradition has been that every president takes the oath on the Bible.
It should be remembered that Donald Trump took the oath of his first term of presidency on January 20, 2017 and at that time also placed his right hand on the Bible.
Neither Trump nor his Republican party has yet given a reason for not doing so this time.
However, it is being said that Trump may intend to change the rules of the oath-taking.
