Emerging story
Social media users have shared an image of former US President Donald Trump holding a Bible and standing outside a church. It's alleged that the Bible was turned around on its side.
Misbar’s Analysis
An investigation by Misbar revealed that the Bible was not held upside down in the picture.
On June 1, 2020, President Donald Trump carried the Bible outside St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, DC, across Lafayette Park, according to images shared on Getty Images.
Furthermore, the incident was captured on video, which is more evident than the image in the claim.
The images show that Trump held the Bible correctly, so the Misbar team concludes that the claim is false.
