In an interview today with a local New York radio host, Bob Lonsberry, on WHAM 1180AM, Donald Trump said his favorite Bible verse is the Old Testament passage which says one can take “an eye for an eye.” In response to Lonsberry’s question about which verse in the Bible is his favorite, Trump initially responded “so many,” then followed it up by saying that “an eye for an eye” is a good verse for Americans to follow, even if it is, by his own admission, a little mean. “Well, I think many,” Trump said. “You know when we get into the Bible I think many, so many.

And we have to be very firm and we have to be very strong and we can learn a lot from the Bible, that I can tell you.”
