In his first campaign rally since acquittal, Trump recited a poem comparing migrants to snakes

fawned over 'beautiful' Ivanka, and attacked Pelosi as the crowd said 'lock her up'


President Donald Trump held his first campaign rally since being acquitted by the Senate at his impeachment trial last Wednesday.

At the Monday rally in New Hampshire, Trump reprised a crowd favorite from his 2016 presidential campaign - reciting a 1963 poem titled "The Snake," which he used to push his anti-migrant message.

In the poem - which was written by an African-American civil rights activist - a woman takes in an injured snake that then bites her. In Trump's version, the snake symbolizes migrants entering the US.

The president also lavished praise on his supporters and family, particularly his daughter Ivanka, whom he called "beautiful" and called on stage.

His fawning over his daughter is creepy.

And he's saying directly to his followers-- 'You knew what I was all along, and you fell for it.'
