The Syrian refugee problem is like Skittles - Simile
The Syrian refugee problem is Skittles - Metaphor
Trump's tweet is an Analogy
And your definition of Metaphor is incorrect. Metaphors are one type of figures of speech that helps to make a comparison between the two things. An analogy is a comparison between two things and metaphor is a tool that is used to make this comparison.

Not really. Until my post, immigration wasn't mentioned or discussed. It was the usual name calling, insultfest that passes for political discourse in this forum.
After my 1st post (last one on page 1), there was some immigration discussion on page 2 and beyond. But please show me an immigration post on page 1 before mine.

I think without the word "poison" in front of Skittles your explanation is wrong.

You're correct, I used shorthand because I didn't want to write out the whole tweet.
The Syrian refugee problem is a bowl of Skittles with 3 poisoned ones in it - Metaphor

Didn't figure there'd be any explanations or excuses made for the deplorable, ignorance shown by Little Lord Fuckface.
Another example of why this forum is so enlightening.
It's a real window into the soul of the low-information, Trumpite and their entire basket.
