The newly opened Museum of the Bible in Washington DC said his Bible has joined a collection of other presidential Bibles currently on show.
Trump received the Revised Standard Version (RSV) Bible from his mother as a child and carried it with him to Sunday school classes at First Presbyterian Church in Queens, New York.
According to the museum, upon his graduation from primary Sunday school in 1955, the Bible was inscribed by his pastor and Sunday school teachers.
The Bible is one of two that he rested his hand on when he took oath of office in January 2017.
Museum of the Bible President Cary Summers said it’s an honour to add the Bible to their collection as it’s a piece of American history.
“President Trump’s inauguration Bible will be displayed alongside Bibles belonging to President Harry Truman, President Dwight Eisenhower, President George H.W. Bush and President George W. Bush,” he said.
“It is our hope that guests will be able to learn not only about each president’s unique Bible, but also about the influence this book has had on government and elected officials around the world.”
