Last month, Instagram and Twitter user "Donald Purrump" brought together two things the internet loves more than anything - cats and memes - to create a #Trumpyourcat hashtag, asking followers to mimic Donald Trump's signature toupee atop their furry feline.
A #Trumpyourdog hashtag followed, as did calls to prove his mane was real.
Everything Trump does is magnified - it comes with the territory of running for Oval Office - so it wasn't a surprise when #Trumpbible started trending around the time he told supporters that his favorite book is the Bible. Oddly enough, Trump thinks quoting verses is too specific.
"I wouldn't want to get into it because to me that's very personal," Trump said Bloomberg TV's "With All Due Respect" on Thursday. "You know, when I talk about the Bible, it's very personal, so I don't want to get into verses."
The pompous Republican presidential candidate, whose favorability rating among Americans increases with every windbag statement, continues to produce brilliant soundbites, if only for the fact that they draw scolding criticism from every spectrum, including social media.
Much like the Bible inspires Trump, Twitter users were inspired to imagine what a Holy Book written by the business magnate would look like. Here are some of best "Trump verses" so far.
"Can anything good come out of Nazareth? I mean, I'm sure some of them are good people and all. But mostly we get their worst." #TrumpBible

Mary Magdalene was a bimbo, we all know that. But her greatest sin is letting herself go, not the perfect 10 she used to be. Sad.#TrumpBible

And Jesus went out into the desert. But he should have invested in hotels there. I mean I'm killing it in Vegas. A LOT of money. #TrumpBible — Eric Metaxas (@ericmetaxas) August 28, 2015

Cain, Abel, both good friends. Cain got into agriculture, bad business. But he murdered his competition. That's leadership. #TrumpBible — Ben Jealous (@BenJealous) August 28, 2015
"Moses. What a dope. Had to go into the wilderness. I'd have negotiated a deal with Pharaoh, day one. A great deal. The best." #TrumpBible
