First president in a century with no dog

24. For a guy who doesn't want a dog, he sure does seem focused on them.

Trump is a sad person and his comments about dogs are very telling http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trump-explains-why-he-has-no-need-dog-the-white-house

Regardless, I can’t help but notice just how often dogs seem to be on the president’s mind.

Last week, for example, shortly before his State of the Union address, Trump told a group of television anchors that Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) “choked like a dog” at a press conference a few days prior.

A few weeks prior, we learned of an anecdote from Cliff Sims’ book in which Trump told then-House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), in reference to the closing days of the 2016 election cycle, “You were out there dying like a dog, Paul. Like a dog!”

As regular readers know, it’s apparently one of this president’s favorite metaphors. Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal, for example, was “fired like a dog.” According to Trump, so were conservative media figures Erick Erickson and Glenn Beck.

Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak was “dropped like a dog.” Steve Bannon was “dumped like a dog.” Mitt Romney “choked like a dog.” Ted Cruz “lies like a dog.” Brent Bozell allegedly went to Trump’s office “begging for money like a dog.”.....

For a guy who doesn’t want a dog, he sure does seem focused on them.
