'The Snake': Trump Poetry Slams Syrian Refugees With Allegorical Song
Donald Trump and 'The Snake' 2:56
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — What does an Al Wilson song from 1968 have to do with the current Syrian refugee crisis?
In one of his shortest campaign speeches yet (Trump's typical hour was shortened a mere 38 minutes Tuesday night) the GOP front-runner hit all of his usual talking points with an unusually serious, professorial tone — and also managed to answer that question.
In what could be read as a rhetorical counter to President Obama's eloquent speaking style and often-anecdotal way of presenting policies to voters, Trump employed a never-before-seen tactic on the trail Tuesday evening: A dramatic reading, glasses and all, of Al Wilson's "The Snake."
