Earlier this year, Donald Trump took a break from his usual boisterous pitches on the stump for a bit of reflection on the state of the world’s Syrian refugee crisis. He used Al Wilson’s lyrics for “The Snake” as a metaphor meant to show how dangerous it can be to take in those thought initially harmless.
The moment was quiet by Trumpian standards, which is likely why it’s been mostly overlooked by a media obsessed with Trump’s flair for the loud and dramatic, but given the recent terror attacks in Brussels, it’s worth revisiting.
The song Trump read follows the tragic turn of events that befall a woman who met a vicious snake with kindness, only to end up bitten in the end. The parallels are clear: Taking in Syrian refugees may seem like the kind, humanitarian thing to do, but kindness in spite of logic is a quick way to get yourself into a much worse situation than how you began.
To hear Trump read the lyrics, watch the video on the next page:
Even Abraham Lincoln said the only way we could be defeated was if it came from within our own country.
We need too root these persons out at all levels of our gov’t & rid ourselves of foreign influences that attack our way of life, sovereignty & Constitution.
It amazes me that the founding fathers of our nation, were more wisened back then than the leaders are today.
Well he knows trouble when he sees it coming. No one else seems to see it.
Trump is right about refugees. Obama is a terrorist that knows what he is doing, killing America. Vote for Trump.
i hope he ends the refugee crises if he takes office. cause the refugees are gonna screw this country up.
They are dangerous.
Go TRUMP —2016 the only candidate who represents the people and not the corrupt crooked establishment….
I am really hoping Trump will win Wisconsin but I doubt he will. Scott Walker has already said that he would make sure Cruz won and not Trump which means there will be voter fraud. Obviously The people of Wisconsin would rather have a liar, cheater and an adulterer as president so that it will be business as usual instead of a man who loves America and the American people.
TRUMP TRAIN ALL THE WAY
WISCONSIN……..YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT CROOKED POLITICIANS……….SO YOU KNOW ….THIS IS YOUR BIG CHANCE TO GET RID OF THESE CORRUPT POLITICIANS….AND VOTING FOR MR TRUMP……AMERICA STANDS WITH YOU…..GOD BLESS MR TRUMP……..
Go Trump
