In a 2011 interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody, Trump said that he gets sent “Bibles by a lot of people. We keep them at a certain place. A very nice place. But people send me Bibles. And you know it’s very interesting. I get so much mail and because I’m in this incredible location in Manhattan you can’t keep most of the mail you get.” “There’s no way I would ever throw anything, to do anything negative to a Bible, so what we do is we keep all of the Bibles,” Trump continued. “I would have a fear of doing something other than very positive, so actually I store them and keep them and sometimes give them away to other people, but I do get sent a lot of Bibles and I like that. I think that’s great.”
