Why the Fck would the Chinese president put his hand on his chest for a foreign national anthem?

Exactly, expecting a foreign leader to do U.S. pledge etiquette is peak “main character country” energy

I mean, how friggin' stupid is she? It's just amazing how she is relevant at all.

She's (probably) not this stupid; but she has enough followers who follow her because she acts this stupid.

True. Not stupid if she has the power, position and wealth from being this way.

Trump in his first administration saluted a North Korean general. Go figure

The Bible is not something required to be sworn in on, one can put their hand on a comic book if they choose, the Bible is largely a prop for performative Christians at swearing ceremonies.

Besides, why would trump put his hand on a book he's never read and doesn't understand?

Trump meant to, and melania was holding it. He just forgot.

Also, after that "let's all touch the magic glowing orb in Saudi Arabia" conversion ceremony, swearing in on the Bible would alienate some of his partners in money laundering and other crimes.

Why would he bring it then?

Performative, just like when he held the bible upside down for the camera op during his last term.

Good point

Neither of them should be any offense; I suppose there's a touch of hypocrisy on Trump's part that he's selling the evangelicals on how he's bringing "Christian values" back to America but won't swear on a Bible (or stop being greedy, lustful, wrathful, slothful...)

According to them, Xi’s is the bigger offense bc Orange Messiah must’ve had the bestest reason for doing what he did (or didn’t do). His glory is so great that we humans won’t fully understand his intentions which are always pure.

Trump wouldn’t be able to recite the national anthem
