Sadly I think it would have been more than half. Personally I’d like less of the Bible in any of our swear ins, but Orange Hitler not doing it just keeps the process rolling forward.

What happened?
Trump broke with tradition and didn’t put his hand on the Bible during his inauguration.
One might expect to hear conservative Christians squawking about it, but they have been notably quiet.
He actually did take the oath without putting his hand on a bible and they did try to make a big deal about it.
John Roberts messed up the oath during the inauguration and they had to redo it later.
During the do-over there was no bible: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_inauguration_of_Barack_Obama
Big Antichrist vibes. Would it have burned his hand? I guess will never know.
I think we can safely assume it would have. Why else wouldn’t he want to touch Jesus Book?
He already did during his last term.
But he held it upside down, maybe that has some theological implications.
