An old video in which President Donald Trump dodges questions about the Bible is going viral again in light of the presidents new claim that he is the chosen one .
In the 2015 interview on Bloomberg Politics that Twitter user @Caring_Atheist shared online Wednesday, Trump (whod earlier called the Bible his favorite book) appears reluctant to reveal his favorite verses.
Because to me thats very personal, Trump sidesteps. You know, when I talk about the Bible its very personal so I dont want to get into verses. The Bible means a lot to me but I dont want to get into specifics.
When asked if hes a bigger fan of the Old Testament or the New Testament, Trump says hes probably equal.
I think its just incredible, the whole Bible is incredible, he added.
Check out the clip here:
1. You mention that the Bible is your favorite book !!!

And a sample of the mocking responses here:
I bet his favourite Beatles album is the best of the Beatles.

I assume this was a sketch cut from SNL, where they decided that Alec Baldwin's Trump character was so blatantly lying about having ever read the bible, or gone in fact near any book at all, that it just got stupid. https://t.co/FejWkQnQg5

"I don't want to get into specifics?"
"I Want To Hold Your Hand?"
"I'd rather not, but I'm known as very good for the gays."
"Yesterday?"
"Most days really. Very good for them."
"I'd have to say the Best of the Beatles" https://t.co/lt2QAzdqdC
