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:
#Donald Trump for President! S.E. Michigander YES I Campaign/Volunteering for TRUMP, President of the United States of America 2016!!
TRUMP IS SPOT ON AGAIN!
A GLOBAL EMBARRASSMENT!
Actually, our government said she was NOT fully vetted when she was issued a fiance visa. I.e. he family, associates, etc.
Donald Trump’s tax plan lowers corporate tax to create a more conducive environment for business growth. He will impose taxes on all goods being brought into the country from foreign countries. Corporations will try to raise the price of their goods to shift this cost to their consumers, which would lead to their goods being expensive. Corporations who have industries in America will be able to avoid these taxes hence provide goods at a cheaper cost, leading to people purchasing more of their goods, increasing their profits and business growth. This will incentivize all corporations to open plants and relocate their industries back to America or be out competed from companies located in America this will create millions of high quality jobs.
All while Trump builds a wall to closes our border, stops h-1b visas to prevent corporations importing cheap skilled immigrant labor to force corporations to hire locally. And with more jobs and employers not having access to foreign labor from Mexico, Pakistan and India like they do now, corporations and companies will start paying workers what they are worth to avoid losing quality employees to competing organisations. Hence corporations would work to improve working conditions and worker benefits to motive good workers to stay with their organisations. Employers should have to negotiate with their employees, but today employees have no leverage to negotiate because employers know that they don’t have much options due to job shortage, but this will never happen as long as the country has more workers than jobs, giving employers all the leverage to underpay and mistreat employees knowing that jobs are hard to find and people are desperate. Good workers should be hard to replace, because they should already be employed. Only Trump really knows how to bring back jobs.
Trump’s simplified 3 page, 4 bracketed tax plan charges 0% tax on people earning below $25,000, it ELIMINATES the marriage penalty, AMT, the death tax and closes ALL big business loopholes by guaranteeing all businesses fall within its respective tax bracket and pays the associated tax charge associated with that category. He will reduce the size of government making it more efficient etc.
-With people earning higher wages, hence providing more to the government in taxes.
-With FAR more corporations in America providing taxable incomes
-With Trump’s repatriation of corporate cash held overseas discounted 10% tax rate plan to incentivize corporations to bring back their money back into the American banks hence economy
-With his reduced 15% income tax rate on small businesses, jobs creators, freelancers, sole proprietors, this will provide a tremendous stimulus for the economy.
Trump will easily pay off our national debt and achieve significant GDP growth. We need a real businessman to clean up our government, stop big money’s influence in politics and make us the strong country we know we can be.
This are so bad even Trump looks like a vast improvement.
Sharia law not welcome here
This is great! Common sense!!!
Good!!!
We had a movie star who ran for President! People said he would never make a good President! He’s just a movie Star! Ronald Reagan was his name! And he loved America! We have a business man and he ‘s done very good in his business. No he’s not a career Politician? But he does love America just as the Reagan did. We gave Reagan a chance and we had a good America! And if you give Donald J. Trump a chance he’ll make us good again! Obama’s, Clinton’s has been running our Country and look where we are!? We have a black, Muslim, Racist that’s not from our country running America into the ground! No one in congress is doing anything about it! Obama want the Clinton, Bernie or even Cruz to come in and take over after he leave’s! So thing will get worse then they are right now! They will get worse! So we took a chance with Reagan why not take a chance with Trump and make America great again! Unless you like how it’s being run today? And remember they will bring in 65,000 Illegal’s a year and we will pay for them! The Muslim want our Country too! I want a change! I’m going to take the chance and vote for Donald Trump For President! He just might be our next Ronald Reagan that we loved so much.
