Trump holding a bible will not hold well with those that know the bible. [View all]

No, I have never quoted the bible before,but there is always a first time, About holding false witness:

Commandment 9: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor

There are six things that the LORD strongly dislikes, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a llying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

— Proverbs 6:16–19

True believers in the bible, will see Trump holding one as an insult. He is the very last person who believes in the bible...read the above, (especially about ...a lying tongue)

I will add respectfully: Some, very few, will see Trump's holding a bible as his faith in the bible. But those that care about the bible's meaning will understand that Trump is the very last person to believe in the bible, or the commandments. Most will see the truth that Trump is a liar and also a total & complete hypocrite
