Yes I paraphrased Proverbs in “Trump’s Not Yet President, But Nieto Is Saying, ‘Si Se Puede.’”
I wrote, “The biblical proverb worked: Act like a fearless lion before an adversary, and the adversary will retreat.”
It was Proverbs 28.1, I was taking considerable artistic license with it, mainly because I did not wish to call Mexico an enemy.
I should have been more explicit, but you get the gist.
