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."

Trump debates Christianity with O’Reilly: I’ll see your forgiveness and raise you an eye for an eye.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Forgive and forget Donald. Please reconsider your decision to not walk into our carefully laid ambush.
Old testicle guy eh?
I bet O’Reilly was going to get a finder’s fee on the increased ad revenue if he could talk Trump back to the debate.
Trump has FOX groveling ... FOX was setting Trump up and he outsmarted them
Trump is too ignorant to know that “an eye for an eye” was part of the old testament law. Jesus instructed us instead to love our enemies and to forgive.
O’Reilly made that point back at Trump: “If you’re the Christian, the eye for the eye rule goes out. Here’s what it is: turning the other cheek.”
Trump knows this about FOX

It’s getting legs as we speak !
I think Trump *did* turn the other cheek ... his left butt cheek! ð
The other candidates will look weak attending the Fox circus.
Obviously you are not from NY.
Pray America wakes
I have often said that we may not know what Trump’s favorite scripture is, but we know it’s definitely NOT turn the other cheek.
Hereâs what it is: turning the other cheek.â
Even then you don’t stick your head in the guillotine just because they said pretty-please.
The debate has been laid out as an all out ambush including a muzzie hactivist. No way should any of the candidates show up.
Watching cable news tonight....media up in arms how a candidate could skip a debate! Why, it’s depriving the voters of information!
Now, the “Debates” are the most important things on earth!
If these debates are “so important”, how come so little criticism of so few Democrat debates???
If Trump could forgive and forget, he wouldn’t be on his third marriage.
Trump is a old testament kind of guy. He wants an eye for an eye and sacrifice your first born. Part of his “deal” for America.
Yep .. it was a win-win for FOX , huge ratings and another chance to destroy Trump ... Trump defeats the MSM again !
