Trump first president in 150 years to not have a pet in WH?

[n2doc]

Washington: Donald Trump might be the first US President in 150 years to not have a pet in the White House after a plan to have him adopt a goldendoodle dog fell through.

With Trump's inauguration on January 20, many are left wondering if his family will have a pet residing with them at the White House. If not, he could be the first president in 150 years without a pet.

The Trump family does not have a history of keeping animals around the house and there is not any indication, at least, not yet.

1. They probably wanted one

but no decent dog would have anything to do with that idiot. At least dogs contribute something positive to society.

[pangaia]

11. THREAD WINNER !!!

[mindem]

20. Rumor has it

there was concern the "idiot princes" would shoot a family pet.

[2naSalit]

41. Besides...

they all already have wives so....

[Drahthaardogs]

13. Perhaps someone can gift him a Komodo Dragon

It would be a fitting pet

[rug]

15. He's got Kellyanne Conway.

[Drahthaardogs]

16. Ah, yes. Two dragons might be overkill

[HoneyBadger]

38. I love monitor lizards, they look like little T-Rexes

[Cattledog]

2. Probably good since it would be neglected.

[narnian60]

5. Exactly.

[etherealtruth]

[malaise]

7. or used for target practice

[madokie]

3. From the sounds of it

there won't even be a tRump family living in the white house. tRump and some hookers maybe, personal advisers I'm sure he'll call them LOL

9. How can we trust a man that doesn't love pets?

[MoonRiver]

19. Well, most of America does NOT trust him.

Plus, his kids kill endangered animals, so pets are probably off the table. Who knows what the psycho spawn would do with them?

[Turbineguy]

10. He wears it.

[Mc Mike]

31. Hairdo does count as a pet, for tax purposes.

[Dustlawyer]

12. Very telling that Trump doesn't have any pets over the years.

Pets give love and affection which I would think Trump would like, but you also have to care for them. I don't mean feeding and such, he could have people for that, i mean love them back. Trump only loves himself, with the possible exception of one of his daughters!

[Akamai]

14. Thom Hartmann had pointed this out about six months ago.

Maybe a pet would take away some of the attention that trump craves. Certainly he couldn't being himself to feed a dog, walk a dog, etc.

He has said changing diapers is women's work.

[JHan]

28. Yep, Narcissist in Chief

[Nay]

35. That was my take on it. A pet in the room would take attention away from His Highness,

and he won't have that. All attention must be on him at all times.

[nuxvomica]

17. picture Trump dealing with a cat

It would push every anger button he has. Now imagine Trump dealing with some big friendly mutt, who shows him unconditional love, treats him like a king, satisfies every childlike longing for love, companionship and acceptance he has never known but has blindly searched for his entire life. Suddenly, he becomes close to being a stable human being. I think he should have a dog, but under strict supervision, of course.

[smirkymonkey]

18. I thought Paul Ryan was going to be living with them in the White House?

Did that fall through?

[MoonRiver]

21. HAHAHA!

Thread winner!

[dalton99a]

24. I wouldn't trust him with a goldfish

[Phoenix61]

39. Neither would I

[lapucelle]

26. Do Penthouse Pets and Playboy Bunnies count?

[Chasstev365]

27. It would pee everywhere and Trump is a germ, wait...Pee?

[DeminPennswoods]

29. This is a good thing for animals

I'm glad he doesn't have or want pets, except for the 2-legged female kind.

[doc03]

30. He is already Putin's poodle. nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

32. Not even a smiling cat to stroke as he devises his evil plans?

[Baitball Blogger]

33. He does have a pet. He's wearing it on his head.

[Bayard]

34. We knew we couldn't trust him

There was a thread about this several months back, about the abundance of Whitehouse pets over the years, and none moving in with Trump if he won. A sociopath would only adopt a pet for appearances sake, and then have nothing more to do with it.

His adoption of a dog, "fell through"? The dog opted out? Interesting that it was a GOLDENdoodle!

[Wounded Bear]

36. He has a pet....named Melania....nt

[Sunlei]

37. trump doesn't like pets & won't live in WH, his base is that tower. I bet his daughter & kids use WH

most often, her husband is First adviser.
The WH will be used most for entertaining foreign friends and sleepover rewards for 'trump loyalists'. Trump can meet with people off the record in that tower, he can't in the WH.

[hunter]

40. Even the Kowakian monkey-lizards won't tolerate him.

Trump's got human minions instead.

[surrealAmerican]

43. 150 years?

Does that mean Abraham Lincoln was the last president without a pet?

[Gothmog]

44. What about Paul Ryan?

[milestogo]

46. Paul Ryan is his poodle.

So every time Ryan visits the White House Trump will have a pet.

[Yo_Mama]

45. Who cares?? Really, wtf??? n/t

[otohara]

47. Stuffed Dead Animals Eric & Lil Donald Killed

will grace the walls of the West Wing in lieu of real pets.
