Trump thought it was low class for Pence to bring pets to VP residence: report

Source: The Hill

An adviser to President Trump reportedly said Trump was “embarrassed” by the Pence family’s desire to bring their pets with them to Washington, D.C.

The adviser told The Atlantic Trump told his secretary that he thought it was “low class” for the Pences to bring their pets to the Naval Observatory.

“He was embarrassed by it, he thought it was so low class,” the adviser said, according to the publication. “He thinks the Pences are yokels.”

At the time, the Pences had two cats, a rabbit named Marlon Bundo and a snake. After one of the cats died in June, the family adopted a new puppy and a kitten.

all this 'Pences wife hates trump" "Trump hates Pences Pets' - I feel like someone is slipping stories to us to distance Pence from Trump so Pence can take over soon....

And I’m sure they are living the “Gods plan for Mike Pence Story” and the resulting paranoia that Trump will have towards Pence...

Pence's apparent love of pets is the first endearing and humanizing thing I've heard about him.

Can't stand his smug self, but at least he likes animals.

Unlike some people we know. Has Trumpy ever had a pet in his life? He seems like the kind of creep who would get pleasure out of pulling wings off flies.

I am glad Trump doesn't like pets. He would be cruel to them, I'm sure.

drumpf, family and administration receive an "F-" for their treatment and respect of animals.

...for not owning a dog?

They jumped all over Clinton for Socks the cat until they finally got a dog. Limbaugh even made his infamous "White House dog" joke about Chelsea. Republicans didn't let the Obama's slide either until they got a dog.

So now those same republicans think it's "low class" to bring a pet into the White House. I give up. I don't know why they get to make up the rules.

as Trump allegedly is somewhat of a germaphobe. He may think dogs and other animals are 'dirty'.

He should look in a mirror for the new definition of dirty!

tRump and his family KNOW "class" when they see it (yeah, right!) They are descendants of pimps and slum lords. Grandpappy Drumpf ran a string of brothels in Canada. In the present day, he could never have entered this country. Not with his baggage.
