In a d to longtime supporters who have returned to his rallies again, Trump returned to one of his greatest, if rarest hits, delivering a spoken-word performance of Snake, a dark 1960s song he has used as an allegory to warn of what he sees as dangers of illegal immigrants and refugees allowed into United States.
