You do realize that you can make anyone or any group or any ideology the "snake" in your fable. e.g.--Obama, Clinton, illegal immigrants, Muslim refugees, McCain, Democrat Party, Republican Party, Socialism, etc. The "snake" is in the eye of the beholder.

No just Trump in my example .. the eye of the beholder has nothing to do with its the actions of the snake that concern me

I think he was pretty smart but he is a politician with a streak of narcissism mixed with bad ideology
