Trump is now comparing immigrants and refugees to poisonous snakes [View all]

Raising the prospect of an increase in refugees from Syria, whose resettlement North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory and other Republican governors want to halt, Trump warned, “This could be the all-time great modern-day version of the Trojan horse, folks.”

Near the end of his speech, Trump read from the lyrics of a song “The Snake,” released as a single by soul singer Al Wilson in 1968, about a woman who finds a snake half frozen near a lake, and takes it home to lie by the fireside “in a curvature of silk” with honey and milk, with the inevitable outcome that she is bitten. The recitation is a reprise of a practice Trump began during the primary. He teased the audience with repeated introductions, digressing on to other topics or pausing to wait for a protester to be escorted out before finally reading the piece.

“You have to think of this in terms of Islamic terror,” Trump said. “You have to think of this in terms of our border. You have to think of it in terms of all the people that are crossing, that are criminals, that are killing people and hurting people.”

He did it in January too:

Donald Trump read the lyrics to Al Wilson's 1968 R&B song "The Snake" during a rally in Iowa Tuesday night to illustrate what might happen if the United States allows Syrian refugees into the United States.

The song tells the story of a woman who finds a snake on the streets and takes him in, but he turns on her.
...
Leading up to the lyrics, Trump talked about refugees living in Cologne, Germany calling it a disaster.

"I don’t think you wanna have, people coming in from the migration from Syria, and when you look at that migration, it’s very unusual. When I look at it, I see so many men, and they’re young. They look like they should be on the wrestling team," Trump said. "And they’re young and they’re strong, and you don’t see that many women."
