This is the Bible that Donald Trump used when he was sworn in as President of the United States. It is a historic object for the country, since it was Abraham Lincoln who used it for the first time in 1861, although it is an 1853 edition.
The one who brought back this book was Obama, who used it in his two inaugurations. It was also the one Trump used in 2017, when he first arrived at the White House.
But there is not just one Bible, but two. The other was a gift from his mother in 1955, after he graduated from Sunday school at age nine.
The U.S. Constitution does not require the oath of office to be taken with a Bible. However, it was the first president, George Washington, who first took it with a Bible in 1789.
