So conservatives can only be true-Christians? And true-Christians are only ones that can recite Bible verse?

No. A case could be made for the opposite though. A true-Christian should be conservative (as defined below) with their eyes on Christ foremost.

Conservative - Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.

Tradition - 1. the handing down from generation to generation of the same customs, beliefs, etc, esp by word of mouth
2. the body of customs, thought, practices, etc, belonging to a particular country, people, family, or institution over a relatively long period
3. a specific custom or practice of long standing
4. Christianity a doctrine or body of doctrines regarded as having been established by Christ or the apostles though not contained in Scripture

The devil can recite verses and has proved so. Taunting Jesus in doing so. Shakespeare perhaps immortalized this fact in his play Hamlet.

I don't have a problem with Trump being Trump. I do have a problem with Donald making something like his "favorite book" a campaign slogan that he has used numerous times as a ploy for votes. He had proven he has no idea what was contained in-between the covers. IOWs proving he was a fake once again. Using it as a regular campaign speech theme makes it fair game. From "Two Corinthians" to when he was asked what his favorite verse was and refusing to mention anything that proved what he said was truth in an interview (saying it was personal). Then later he does mention a verse (guess it wasn't that personal) that is nowhere to be found in the Bible. Like someone suggested, all Don had to do was write a cheat note on his hand for goodness sake.

"Never bend to envy" - Trump (???)
