We all suspected that Trump is a pet hating narcissist.

[doc03]

1. What would tRump know about class? nt

[malaise]

7. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Ditto

[Hortensis]

99. Oh, I guffawed at Trump's delusion, startled my husband good.

Triple!!!

[malaise]

100. Nice

[Generic Brad]

55. He eats Big Macs with silverware

It doesn't get classier than that!

[maddiemom]

78. Pizza, too.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

88. He eats pizza with utensils? No self-respecting New Yorker does that.

But, sometimes pizza is sliced into BIG pieces, and he has such LITTLE hands ...

[bettyellen]

2. Becasue he had to protect his shot furniture

[GusBob]

3. On my Facebook feed love of pets is over the moon

And crosses both sides of the political spectrum

In fact the most liberal and the most conservative folks seem to be big into animal rescue

I noticed that a long time ago. Some people post more on their pets than they do on their own kids.

[murielm99]

82. That is true if you volunteer for any animal rescue

project as well. I don't like to get into politics with people when the common goal is to take care of the animals. It sometimes comes up during Presidential elections, or if there is a hotly contested local or state race. I try to keep quiet. But I have noticed both sides out there helping the animals.

Maybe that is one of the few ways we may find common ground and finally work together.

[Irish_Dem]

4. And we all know that Trump is the epitome of class and sophistication. nt

[howoldami]

83. Thank goodness Trump has no pets

For the sake of pets, let's just hope Trumpster never entertains the thought of getting a pet. He's not fit to have one.

[Irish_Dem]

84. With his anger and sadism issues, he should never have a pet any where near him. nt

[Kber]

5. I do hope this doesnt encourage a bunch of deplorables to dump their dogs at the local shelter

But I suspect some subset are brainwashed enough to do something just like that.

[SergeStorms]

59. You're probably right.

The walk around with this glassy-eyed stare. Definitely a cult. Usually cult leaders have at least one redeeming characteristic, but not Trump. Nothing. Nada. Pure, unadulterated evil.

[TheBlackAdder]

101. Trump doesn't have pets because he'd choke them, hang them, burn them or hump them to death.

[NastyRiffraff]

6. Good, I'm glad

I'd hate to see any animal be subjected to Trump's ownership. Even a rat doesn't deserve that. (Well, maybe a rat)

[iluvtennis]

66. LOL, I was drinking a glass of juice when I read you post and almost spewed it all of my laptop :-)

[NastyRiffraff]

73. Sorry 'bout that!

[marylandblue]

8. Good thing they will never let him visit Queen Elizabeth

Her corgis have the run of Buckingham Palace.

[anneboleyn]

92. Queens Victoria and Elizabeth I and Marie Antoinette AND King Henry VIII and Louis (XIV-XVI)

would have detested Trump’s dislike of pets, and of course Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette would have hated his tacky use of gold plating, etc.

Victoria, Elizabeth I, and Henry VIII all had beloved dogs. In fact dogs are the conventional pets of monarchies. Victoria’s beloved spaniel Dash is in many of the early portraits of her.

Trump is just a pathetic narcissistic sociopath.

[Demoiselle]

108. Let's not forget FDR and his little dog Fala. (Falla?) We all know how NOCD Franklin was. Aaaargh!

[Rhiannon12866]

9. As if we didn't already have enough reasons to detest this fool

But I'm also grateful that he doesn't have pets, as well.

[Alice11111]

56. Truly!

[Rhiannon12866]

57. I just hope that no idiot out there thinks to "gift" him with a pet

That's happened with other leaders - and we know that Putin loves dogs.

[Alice11111]

62. I think the whole world knows he hates pets, so

Unless someone wanted to give him a snake, so he would have an alter ego, I am hopeful he will never have a pet. Maybe, if he had had a pet as a child, he wouldn't be so incapable of empathy. More likely, he would have abused it.

[SergeStorms]

60. The Trumps kill animals.

They don't have them as pets. I'm quite sure pets wouldn't have the Trumps, either.

[Rhiannon12866]

63. That is one more horror show Trump has brought us

And here the nation freaked out about Cheney. The only time we hear about his horrible progeny these days is on the comedy shows.

[irisblue]

10. The trump boys kill animals for fun. 'nuff said bout that.

[Kirk Lover]

11. Good lets spread this around....plenty of Trumpanzees love their pets. He's a monster.

[July]

12. Trump was embarrassed by this?

That's right, how other people live is somehow a reflection upon his royal heinie.

He has absolutely no clue that millions upon millions of Americans have pets in their homes, not to mention that numerous presidents have also had them?

Like Ivanka and her champagne popsicles and hideous Thanksgiving shell centerpiece/atrocity, he shows he knows nothing about class, which many Americans of modest means have in abundance, while he and his trashy clan have none.

First thing I've heard about Pence that makes Evangelical Ken Doll seem normal.

[LakeArenal]

71. That's the point isn't it?

Obama had pets. Obama family got lots of love for the pictures of them with the pets. Everyone loved the Obama's pets.

If the Obama's had said, we hate pets, no use for pets; Dump would be praising pets..

[ProudLib72]

13. Does that include the pet manatee living at the WH?

I'm sure his handlers would like to be rid of him.

[CatMor]

14. I'm embarrassed that trump was brought to the White House.

[L. Coyote]

15. Pets know which humans to totally reject and banish from their lives.

Some people are just tooo high class or cruelly evil for animals to tolerate.

[dawg day]

36. That's the kind of kid--

Whose father didn't let him have a pet.

[Maynar]

45. True that.

[babylonsister]

16. Now he's pissed off the Pope.

Old joke, but real repercussions. There are a lot of animal lovers out there. So the Pope and us!

[rpannier]

17. Trump is an expert on being low class

Though I doubt he can recognize it

[smirkymonkey]

58. Just more projection.

I'm beginning to realize that every single thing that comes out of his mouth is just projection. He does nothing but accuse others of what he himself is.

[Buns_of_Fire]

18. Better keep that sentiment to himself around his best bud Pootie.

Vlad owns THREE dogs. Four, if you count Comrade Lardass.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pets_of_Vladimir_Putin

[FuzzyRabbit]

19. To have a pet you must have the capacity to love something besides yourself.

No wonder Trump thinks having pets is useless and low class. He loves only himself.

[bdamomma]

29. he only loves himself

and totally self absorbed in his own head.

Poor Baron he can't even have a dog. Baron only has his mother's love.

[Duppers]

49. That's exactly why.

No wonder his children are warped.

[tiptonic]

20. Pot

Talk about "the pot calling the kettle black'. That is funny. But i guess trump knows what 'low class" is .

[Honeycombe8]

21. Trump thinks animals are for killing! Keep Jr. away, or he'll cut off their tails. nt

[safeinOhio]

22. Is he calling Ronald Reagan low class?

That should fly with his base.

[ffr]

24. That's the angle I'm using on them on this

[bluevoter4life]

23. Pretty bold statement

From Putin's personal lapdog

[Shrike47]

25. Trump doesnt realize how bad his taste is, almost to the point of being funny.

His dislike of pets is pathetic and probably part of his germ phobia. Most of us put up with a little mess to get the joy and love.

[spanone]

26. I bet no pet would have him as an owner.

fuck the likes of trump

[Buns_of_Fire]

27. A master stroke! In one genius move, Comrade Lardass

has insulted everyone that he hadn't ALREADY insulted! Brilliantly played!

But what's he going to do for an encore? Baby punting?

[hibbing]

28. Even if they were (fake) gold plated? n/t

[tazkcmo]

30. Pffffttt

He hasn't seen class since he was in school.

[Solly Mack]

31. So that's what his mother told him when he wanted a puppy as a child.

Trump is big on someone being a "quality" person - as in when talking about his children he likes to say they are "quality" people.

Trump's mom was a maid - someone would feel the sting of class consciousness. Especially after moving on up and all that. She'd be keenly aware of her roots.

I'd bet anything she often spoke of quality v. low class people while he was growing up - as in how one would behave as opposed to the other. To her thinking. Don't do that Donald, kind of thing, only low-class people do that or think that or say that, etc..

But it would also come in handy as a reason for not giving or getting of certain things...such as a pet.

I have no doubt Trump has daddy issues, but his mother was a driving force in his life.

I'd bet any amount of money Trump was told this by his mother. (Only low class people have pets)

[Nasruddin]

39. Rosebud

[Solly Mack]

44. He has one.

[pmul]

32. Empathy

If he can't empathize with humans what chance do poor animals have?

[sandensea]

33. Sociopaths tend to detest animals.

Why would you have been an exception, Dim Don?

[Hun Joro]

34. Utterly tasteless (Mr Robot scene)

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

35. That's 'cuase he's the only animal in this house goddamnit! nt

[C_U_L8R]

37. Don't trust a man who doesn't like dogs

or cats.

I'm sure they don't like him either.

[Upthevibe]

41. No surprise there....I wonder how the freeper friends I have (just a couple and they're

from childhood and we just sporadically keep in touch) feel about that? One is a BIG animal lover...

[Maynar]

38. I'm primarily a cat person

But you can sure tell the measure of a man by how he treats a dog.

What a creepy bag of orange shit.

[Freethinker65]

40. Probably has something to do with real affection, which he cannot comprehend

[MrPurple]

42. Although referring to the Pences as yokels who want to hang gays

are maybe the only accurate comments of the Trump presidency

[GOPricklepants]

43. It's Low Class To Allow Don The Con In The White House

My classy Siamese rescue cat would instantly feel the need to wash if his Cheetos stained baby hands came near her.

[OhioBlue]

46. I've long beleived that many pets and small children can see the good or bad in a person's

soul. They maintain an innocence and a forgiveness that many of us lose as we experience life. They also maintain an intuition that many of us have learned to question. Maybe that is why Trump is uncomfortable around pets and small children. They see through him and have an automatic aversion. Per Ivana, he wasn't even comfortable around his own children when they were small. They must have longed for Daddy's love which would help explain the people they (Jr., Eric and Ivanka) have developed into.

[EllieBC]

47. He's pure evil. Even the other slime and sleaze have pets. He's

super slime and sleaze.

[mythology]

48. He seems to have a compulsion to make sure there is not one single redeeming fact about him

It's kind of impressive his dedication to being a piece of shit human being.

[SharonClark]

50. My dog Rory thinks Trump has no class.

[GallopingGhost]

53. One of ours stands

still and growls at the TV when he's on. A low, menacing growl. Dogs are smart.

[Olafjoy]

51. Class? Dont make me laugh

The idiot who: Puts ketchup on steak, adores KFC and McDonalds, goes abroad and aides have to tell the host countries not to serve him weird food, and wears Palomino pony clippings on his head thinks he can judge “class”?

[NastyRiffraff]

74. He puts ketchup on WELL DONE steak

I know I keep posting about that, but really, well done steak with ketchup? Well done alone would be kind of horrible, but the addition of ketchup is almost comical. It's like he's TRYING to be low class.

As for the KFC and McDonalds, I say go for it, Donnie! The more the better. Be sure and get fries with that.

[Deb]

52. Then what is that on his head?

I've seen him pet it.

[phleshdef]

54. This is the single most clear reason never to trust this guy.

[milestogo]

61. Because Trump is an expert on "low class".

[Gothmog]

64. I was offended by this idiotic comment from trump

[pnwmom]

65. I bet Pence's people put this out to make America's pet lovers like him -- so that when

he replaces Trump, we'll think he's an okay guy.

[TryingNot2Freak]

67. Huh.

Personally, I think it's pretty low-class to brag about screwing over your creditors & sexually assaulting women, but what do I know?

Also, I don't trust people who don't like animals. It's abnormal.

[progressoid]

68. This is what he thinks is classy...

[sammythecat]

69. Toy limousines

I guess trucks would be "low class".

[Thor_MN]

70. This from the man that thinks Big Macs and FiletOFish is Surf and Turf...

Donny Two Scoops has to double up, because he is special...

Low Class Donny is scared of animals.

[maddiemom]

79. Big Macs and Filet o' Fish Surf and Turf for Trump!

LOVE IT! ROFLMAO in spades!

[LudwigPastorius]

72. Living things are only good for trophies, eating,...

fucking, making him money, or stroking his ego.

He's a total psychopath.

[keithbvadu2]

75. Donald brought Ivanka.

[niyad]

76. KO nailed it last year:WTF! Why is Trump Such a Weirdo About Dogs? The Closer with Keith Olbermann

Life in Trump’s America Just Got Worse for Your Pet | The Resistance with Keith Olbermann | GQ

[maddiemom]

77. Who was the last POTUS to NOT have a pet in th White House?

I can just barely remember Eisenhower, and don't remember a pet mentioned then ('though he did have a farm). Nixon? ( he was V.P. with Checkers, I know). After Ike, they all had pets until Trump. Never having had an animal to care for as a kid is surely part of what he became as an adult. This my first check in the "plus" column for the Pences.

[janx]

81. IKE had Heidi !

[maddiemom]

89. Thans for the great photos!

I honestly did not remember if he had a White House pet.

[janx]

97. I was too young to remember,

but then I had a Weim family member and found out.

[diane in sf]

80. Even Hitler liked animals

[Doreen]

94. He did? I thought he loathed cats?

Well, that does not mean he did not like dogs though. Odd thing is most of our horrible dictators in history have not liked cats. I guess it is because cats have their own minds and don't give a shit about you unless it benefits them.....kind of like dictators. : )

[RainCaster]

85. Who brought Spicer and Bannon and Scaramoochie into the White House?

and why are we paying any attention to the distractions this jack ass is creating?

[Willie Pep]

86. From the guy who eats fast food by the truckload.

Don't get me wrong I like junk food as much as the next American but come on, calling pet owners low class when you love Big Macs?

[muriel_volestrangler]

87. There goes his invitation to Buckingham Palace (nt)

[maddiemom]

90. Yep, for sure.

The Queen is just not used to being called "low class." In fact, this may be the first time anyone ever has.

[Nonhlanhla]

91. Sometimes I feel almost sorry for him.

What a sad, sad little "man" he is.

[Doreen]

93. In my opinion and experience anyone who dislikes animals

to that degree are not good people. Most of the time they are the ones who also abuse people. Why do you think he has been taking all of the rights of animals away? Trump is truly a sick person ( evil. )

[brewens]

102. He was probably given puppies and kittens as a little boy and they hated him. n/t

[Doreen]

106. Well, the feeling is mutual.

Right.

[MojoWrkn]

95. trump has no class so how can he judge?

[ailsagirl]

96. He hates animals. Period.

The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. - Mahatma Gandhi -

[A Morpheus Felinae]

98. Trump reportedly said to be embarrassed by the Pence familys desire to bring their pets with them

and yet nothing was said when Malaria brought a jackass into the White House.

[crazycatlady]

103. Well he shouldn't be anywhere near cats

They don't like to be grabbed.

[iluvtennis]

104. LOL, pussycats don't like to be grabbed

[SummerSnow]

105. if he had a dog, it would bite the shit out of him

[Joe Chi Minh]

107. Stay classy, Donald.

[Fritz Walter]

109. Remember the encounter with the Bald Eagle?

That should have been our first clue!

It wouldn’t surprise me to read that he had that same noble bird served up for Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Or perhaps deep-fried and delivered to his lord-and-master, Vlad. (We all know who’s the bitch in that relationship — and no disrespect to canine females, at least not from me).

[Alwaysna]

110. And calling your own daughter

A great piece of ass is classy?
