        Lots of disparaging of reptiles going on here.

        The irony of Trump telling the story of the snake is that he himself is the snake that will betray everyone who put their trust in him.

        The way Trump tells the snake story, the snake is supposed to be immigrants. But as with everything negative he says there's a massive projection structure. The dude just tells on himself over and over and over

        "Snakes"? That's funny. I thought his preferred mob parlance was to complain about being surrounded by rats. Oh well, maybe in his mind, he's surrounded by a moat filled with snakes, and by alligators and sharks.https://twitter.com/RegalPastry/status/1074837174124654593 …

        About the "parable" he tells in his stump speeches/ at his rallies: is that not a perverse bit of preaching? And, it *does* seem confessional somehow; similar to how playing that Stones song: "You don't always get what you want..." is somehow throwing salt into open wounds
