I don’t remember learning that the Bible Trump was holding was his mother’s.

Wikipepdia’s description of that June 1, 2020, event:
Following a five-minute walk from the White House, Trump arrived at St. John’s Church at 7:06 p.m. His daughter, Ivanka, handed him a Bible which she carried there in her Max Mara handbag. Trump turned the Bible over, and held it aloft as he stood in front of Ashburton House beside the church noticeboard. A reporter asked “Is that your Bible?” and Trump replied, “It’s a Bible.” Trump made no formal remarks. When asked if he had any thoughts, Trump said, “We have a great country. That’s my thoughts. Greatest country in the world. We will make it greater. We will make it even greater. It won’t take long. It’s not going to take long. You see what’s going on. You see it coming back.”
Trump first posed alone with the Bible, while standing in front of the church’s noticeboard, which stated: “All are welcome”. He then spent “several minutes posing for photos alone and with other officials”, including Barr, O’Brien, Meadows, Esper, and McEnany. The New York Times reported that Trump “made no pretense of any intent other than posing for photographs—he held up the Bible carried by his daughter, then gathered a few top advisers next to him in a line”. The entire group then departed the church grounds at 7:11 p.m. and returned to the White House at 7:18 p.m.
I don’t think it was THE Bible given by his mother —but his mother’s Bible has a holy past. If you don’t know the story, please read. I apologize for any pop-ups, the are annoying, but do not detract from the wonderful story.
