39. What a bad analogy.

If we got to compare the Syrian Refugee Problem to a bowl of Skittles... then we're going to have to change a few things. One... the Skittles aren't going to kill me. They'll give me some bad tummyache, but no... they won't kill me. It'll be more than three. I could stick the name "Assad" on the one that's going to give me the worst tummyache - though that's enough for another load of analogies here. And it isn't a bowl full of Skittles. It's a bath-tub full of them. A luxury one... one you might have in the most luxurious suite at a Trump hotel. Overflowing.

Will I take a handful of Skittles out of a bath tub full of them, knowing that three of them might give me a tummyache? Yes. I won't be like Angela Merkel, who took a whole bucket load of Skittles from this hypothetical Skittles/Syrian Refugee bath tub... cos she's having tummyache and she didn't take the ones that would be guaranteed to give her tummyache anyway.

And yes, Trump is an asshole. Junior too.
