Despite his ongoing feud with Fox News, Donald Trump honored a previous promise and appeared on The Factor tonight.
Bill O'Reilly tried a variety of tactics to convince Trump to participate in Fox's GOP debate tomorrow night. Nothing was working, so O'Reilly played his trump card, citing Christianity: "the tenet of forgiveness . . . don't you think that's the right thing to do?" Shot back Trump: "it probably is. But it's called an eye for an eye I guess also."

Asking for forgiveness and forgiving others as we should want God to forgive us just isn’t a Trump principle.
Trump just shot @FoxNews in the middle of 5th Avenue...— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) January 27, 2016
Our republican congress always turns the other cheek!
Trump is right again.
And the softball questions lobbed when there is a “debate”
Trump is not the right choice.
Check that.
Trump is not a good choice.
Ted Cruz is the right choice.
Fox did a stupid thing. This just makes Trump look better. Fox should have just let voters make up their own minds. But FOX has become elitist, just like Trump and the Senate and the Bushes and the Clinton’s. It’s just a circus of elites running the country.
Donald, not the Lord, sits on the throne of Donald’s life. I’d respect him more if he’d just come out and say it.
Even in the Old Testament, "an eye for an eye" was part of the instructions for judges (shorthand for let the punishment fit the crime) and not intended to be the standard for personal behavior.
He better stop quoting the Bible...he is really showing his ignorance using that passage.
The Donald can’t do that, if would destroy his own self-image.
LOL - Eye for an Eye. Who said Trump couldn’t quote the Bible? Fox sounds desperate.
You are absolutely on target.
Fox is desperate. I hate seeing a man beg. BOR almost had me feeling sorry for him. Trump nails it again.
This past weekend was the first time Trump went to church since his 3rd marriage.
AGreed on both counts!!!!
Really. REALLY. Aren't you tired of our Republican Congress turning the other cheek constantly?
I will vote for a President....Not a religious fanatic.
LOL - I don’t feel the least bit sorry. What Fox has done is beyond the pale. I really hope they rapidly go bankrupt.
O’Reilly is a turn the other cheek guy? Give me a break.
Fox is now trying to divert attention to the other weak candidates like Paul, acting as if they all have a chance to win the race.
“Trump is too ignorant to know that “an eye for an eyeâ€
The old testament is in the bible. The same folks that added the new testament could have removed the old one, but they didn’t.
An “eye for an eye” and “forgiveness” aren’t mutually exclusive.
