President-elect Trump will use a Bible that was given to him by his mother, as well as the Lincoln Bible, for his swearing-in Monday.

Trump’s late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, gave him the Bible in 1955 to mark his Sunday Church Primary School graduation at First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, N.Y., according to the Trump Inaugural Committee.

The inside cover of the Bible is signed by church officials and inscribed with Trump’s name and details of when it was gifted to him.

He will also use the Lincoln Bible, which was first used for President Lincoln’s 1861 swearing-in and has been used three times since. Former President Obama used it at his two inaugurations, in 2009 and 2013, and Trump used it in his 2017 inauguration.

How lovely.

anyone know the significance of using Lincoln instead of the Washington Bible.

[DoodleBob]

It’s simple.

Lincoln was a Nazi, just like Trump.

Visited the JFK Library and Museum and saw the Fitzgerald family bible used in JFK’s inauguration.

Bannon has noise on the inauguration moving indoors.

That’s so nice!

Ceremony will be indoors - just confirmed.

Big relief on two fronts.

All told that’s probably not a bad idea.

Say, speaking of the inauguration, where is a good site to watch it?

I don’t feel like giving the MSM the hits. Is there some source that will be streaming it online?

[ChicagoConservative27]

Newsmax?

[Jamestown1630]

That’s what we hear, too.

It’s been very cold here the last few days, and getting colder with heavy snow over the weekend.

I believe they had to do this for Reagan’s second inauguration, too.

It’s indoors. Charlie Kirk discussing it now.

[metmom]

I’ll look.

Maybe Tucker Carlson. Or Joe Rogan.

Or some other actual conservative place.

[libertylover]

I expect to find it easily on YouTube free.

[metmom]

The White House is livestreaming it.

If they can do it without screwing it up, too.
