Trump Said the Snake Poem Was an Analogy for Securing Borders
Trump talked about supporting law enforcement and an executive order he signed to combat crimes of violence against police. "The Department of Justice is now prioritizing the prosecution of criminals who attack officers of the law," he said. "And we are also working ... to keep our nation safe from terrorism," he continued. Trump then shared "The Snake" poem, about a woman who saw a half-frozen snake and saved it, only to have it bite her and kill her later. He said the poem was analogous to needing to secure the border. (Getty)
