President Donald Trump brought the Reverend Franklin Graham, the son of the late Billy Graham, on stage to pray for him in North Carolina in his shortest campaign rally of the day.
‘I would like to take a moment and pray for this man,’ Graham said, giving a short prayer as the president and his supporters bowed their heads.
Trump started off his third event of Sunday – in Hickory, North Carolina – praising the crowd of thousands who came out to see him.

And then he brought back one of his oldies but a crowd pleaser: He read lyrics from the song ‘the snake.’
The story is about a ‘tenderhearted woman’ who finds a half-frozen snake on a path and rescues it. She helps it, nurses it back to health - only to be bitten and die. In Trump’s reading, the tale is a parable for the dangers of lax immigration policies.
‘You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die,’ Trump read dramatically as the crowd roared in approval.
The president read it often when he campaigned for Republicans in 2018 but it’s the first time he used it in the presidential race.

Amazing day of campaigning.
Trump is a genius for finding so many ways to piss off the dems...THE SNAKE POEM......PERFECT.....
Mrs. BN just returned from the rally. Although she was pre-registered and arrived a little after 3 PM for a 5:30 start time, they were not able to get into the event.
Already too full!
She talked with folks in line who had come over from Raleigh, a 3 hour drive east of Hickory! They said that if they’d placed a Trump yard sign, “their house probably would have gotten burned down”.
(me? I didn’t make it - fighting ‘tummy rumbles’)
Wow that poem is beautiful poem—just read the lyrics for the first time.
The United States is a loving and generous country, but we are at a crossroads.

Yes it was. I watched every rally today and just finished the Florida one. I love President Trump and Rightside broadcasting for covering them.
I love that song. I use it a lot with abused women. It’s a perfect fit.
