Pets
Related: About this forumWhat is the history of past presidents and their pets?
Most of them seem to have had a dog or a cat while in office. Does the current pseudo prez dislike animals or (most likely) do they dislike him? I am fairly certain any pet he has/had would try their best to run away or perhaps no one will allow him to adopt due to animal abuse/cruelty.

(115,267 posts)The only other presidents who didn't have pets were Andrew Jackson (#7) and James K. Polk (#11). http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3974940/Trump-president-without-pet-White-House-century.html
But I wouldn't want any animal to be Trump's pet; it certainly would not be treated kindly.

(101,701 posts)I promised myself I wouldn't pass judgement or in any way disparage him, but it is not clear that given the environment within which he was raised--the narcissism and disregard for the needs/feelings of others from, at least, his father, that he would be "ready" for a dog. Honestly, given the ugly disregard for animal life from Eric and JR, can ANYONE really say my concerns are baseless?
