Earlier today, Donald Trump awkwardly dodged a couple of questions about the Bible, which he's called "his favorite book." He refused to name a favorite Bible verse, and when asked which Testament he preferred, he answered "Probably equal."
Jokesters on Twitter have started to create fake Trump quotes about the Bible, playing off his mixture of self-promotion and plainspoken language. They're all gathering steam under the hashtag #TrumpBible.
For instance:
There *is* room at the inn but Mary and Joseph refuse to stay there because it is LOW CLASS and a DUMP. #TrumpBible
