The next Lincoln Project ad should be: Donald Trump reads "The Snake" poem.

The wonderful Maya Angelou famously said, "When people tell you who they are, believe them."

I had run across the story of the snake years ago, but not in poem form. When I found this video of Trump reading a poem based on the story, my skin literally crawled. Lincoln Project people, if you're listening, please have a look and use parts of this video in your next anti-Trump ad:

If you can't stand to watch the video, I don't blame you. The gist of it is that a woman sees a poisonous snake. The snake begs her to take him in. She says, "No! You'll bite me!" The snake reassures her that he won't. So she takes him in. Sure enough, he bites her. The woman is shocked and angry. The snake goes, "Stupid woman! You knew damn well I was a snake when you took me in!"

It is so creepy and repulsive and infuriating to see Trump actually revealing his true nature at a campaign rally and his gullible supporters don't realize that the snake is Trump.

I missed that one. I'm glad that it's being used. It's just so insanely perfect for showcasing his truly evil nature.

at a college, he recited this story. I've wanted to post it several times and have never been able to find it again.

I was hoping this was it. No such luck
