It's Sunday

Trump ought to know at least a couple passages from the Bible to quote, for Crissakes. But then, again, he's probably safe, since most of his supporters likely have no further knowledge of the Bible they tout than he does.
WHAM 1180 AM radio host Bob Lonsberry asked the Republican front-runner if he had a favorite verse or story from the Bible that’s impacted his thinking or character.

“Well, I think many. I mean, you know, when we get into the Bible, I think many. So many,” he responded. “And some people—look, an eye for an eye, you can almost say that. That’s not a particularly nice thing. But you know, if you look at what’s happening to our country, I mean, when you see what’s going on with our country, how people are taking advantage of us, and how they scoff at us and laugh at us.”

“And they laugh at our face, and they’re taking our jobs, they’re taking our money, they’re taking the health of our country,” he continued. “And we have to be firm and have to be very strong. And we can learn a lot from the Bible, that I can tell you.”

Trump, who has often mentioned the Bible as his favorite book, with "The Art of the Deal" second, gave a different answer when asked his favorite verse last September, telling the Christian Broadcasting Network that he often looked to the Book of Proverbs' chapter about envy. The Manhattan billionaire had struggled to articulate his favorite verse in an interview with Bloomberg Politics last August, remarking, "I wouldn't want to get into it. Because to me, that's very personal."
