Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump may have been caught off-guard Wednesday when asked to name his favorite Bible verse during an appearance on Bloomberg’s “With All Due Respect,” but his fans helped him out with some very funny rejoinders.
“I wouldn’t want to get into it,” Trump said. “Because to me, that’s very personal. The Bible means a lot to me, but I don’t want to get into specifics.”
Here’s the exchange:
Afterward, the Washington Post Wonk Blog tweeted:

So, Trump fans got together to give him a hand, and offered these possibilities on Twitter using the hashtag #TrumpBible — often with a little Trump twist:
Nathan said to David: “You are the man!” And David said, “No YOU are the man!” And they high-fived each other. It was fabulous. #TrumpBible
