Shocking conspiracies about Trump post-inauguration exposed.
A wild new conspiracy theory has emerged following Donald Trump’s swearing-in as President of the United States on January 20.
Trump’s inauguration day detailed.
The day was historic as Trump, at 78, became the 47th President of the United States.
His inauguration took place at the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C., with all eyes on the ceremonial proceedings.
While the moment was supposed to mark a new chapter, something about Trump’s oath immediately sparked outrage.
Unlike Vice President J.D. Vance, who did place his hand on the Bible, Trump did not follow this tradition.
The observation didn’t go unnoticed, and soon after, social media lit up with speculation.
Wild conspiracy theory unveiled.
The theory exploded across social media, focusing on one key detail: Trump did not place his hand on the Bible during the oath.
Many viewers were taken aback by the apparent oversight, which led to an array of bizarre theories.
One particular theory started to take hold quickly, gaining traction across platforms: that Trump was using a body double.
The bizarre explanation was tied to an alleged threat on Trump’s life during his campaign, with some suggesting the body double was there for protection.
“THEY DIDN’T SWEAR IN THE REAL TRUMP!” one user exclaimed on X.
“The real DJT was already sworn in. This was to divert the threat of assassination!!”
Another observer raised an eyebrow, pointing out how much shorter Trump appeared compared to Vance in recent photos.
“Trump’s suddenly shorter than JD. These photos don’t add up,” they tweeted.
One user even suggested that the “real” Trump was already sworn in privately, now hiding at a military base in Cheyenne Mountain.
“The Real Trump is in Cheyenne Mountain with the real Military Generals,” another X user typed.
Meanwhile, others were fixated on the Bible, declaring that Trump not placing his hand on it was a sign something was amiss.
“Every President swears in by placing a hand on the Bible. It’s an American tradition. Why didn’t Trump do it?”
They continued, “Being a body double explains it all.”
But, before things spiraled too far, the theory hit a roadblock: a perfectly reasonable explanation for the confusion emerged.
Bible tradition explained.
According to CBS News, placing one’s hand on the Bible during the swearing-in ceremony is not legally required.
In fact, the U.S. Constitution, under Article VI, explicitly states: “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office.”
That means there’s no constitutional rule that mandates a Bible be involved in the ceremony, even though it’s a tradition for many presidents.
Real explanation for Trump not placing hand on Bible confirmed.
As for Trump’s oath, there’s another practical reason for the Bible omission: the timing of the event itself.
Trump’s wife, Melania, was there, holding two Bibles. One had been gifted to Trump by his mother when he was young, while the other was the historic Lincoln Bible.
But as footage reveals, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts began guiding Trump through the oath before Melania could reach him with the Bibles.
This set the stage for Trump to raise his right hand and start reciting the oath—without the Bible in sight.
Critics quickly turned their focus to Justice Roberts, accusing him of “rushing” the sacred moment.
As a result, the decision to forgo the Bible sparked debates about ceremony and respect for tradition.
Public continue to debate after inauguration day.
However, there was no shortage of drama, as Trump quickly addressed the nation.
In his inaugural address, Trump referenced his faith, claiming to have been “saved by God” in order to fulfill his mission.
The theory that Trump used a body double may have been debunked, but it did manage to grab attention—at least for a while.
