Trump says dog ownership in White House feels 'phony,' calls out Obama for having one

[TomCADem]

Source: MSN

President Trump has an interesting pet peeve — dogs. He called out pup ownership in the White House as “phony” in a bizarre rant during his pro-border wall rally in El Paso, Texas Monday night.

“You do love your dogs, don’t you?,” he asked the Maga-hat wearing crowd. “I wouldn’t mind having one honestly, but I don’t have any time.”

Trump then painted a picture of himself strolling on the grounds of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. with man’s best friend. “How would I look walking a dog on the White House lawn?,” he asks, before grimacing and shaking his head no.

“I don’t know — it doesn’t — I don’t feel good,” he manged to get out. “Feels a little phony to me.”

Trump to dog owners: You Are Fakes!!!

[DrToast]

1. "I don't have any time" lol

You’re not fooling anyone, buddy.

[Ohiogal]

20. Hey, there's all that TV to watch,

tweets to type, burgers to scarf .... he’s a busy man!

[sdfernando]

32. I'm sure he doesn't

Between FOX watching, sniffing Aderall, and JOing to pictures of Ivanka there is barely enough time to ruin the country.



Another thought..what Dog would want him??? Dogs are way smarter than that orange bag of feces.

[TexasBushwhacker]

74. As usual, it's all about him

Does it occur that his son Barron might like a pet? That kid must be so lonely.

[Bengus81]

85. Still down in Florida,on the golf course for the third day.

[treestar]

90. +1

Really? He has plenty of time.

[RT Atlanta]

2. Phony

And if there's one thing that man knows and can smell from 'a mile away' it's anything phony.

[Mr.Bill]

3. If Trump had a dog

it would pee on him.

[SallyHemmings]

51. I was thinking the same thing

[SWBTATTReg]

4. Idiot. As usual, an idiot not having anything of sustance to talk about, so he's just rambling...

on and on to nobody in particular. Absolutely just worthless.

[TrogL]

18. He's a real nowhere man

[proud patriot]

5. okay so you won the presidency

and you have 2 daughters whose lives will never been the same , who will have to sacrifice
privacy etc .. so what does a good dad do ???? get them a dog ... that will get them to smile
and embrace their new life in that big scary new house .. Seems very authentic to me .

[Scarsdale]

23. The first Obama dog was a gift

from Ted Kennedy. Then the Obamas got him a companion. tRump should NEVER own a pet. He is too selfish, too wrapped up in himself. Nobody in his family has the love to give a pet, they care only for themselves.

[proud patriot]

25. yes that's right

on both counts

[treestar]

91. That poor kid

Probably could use a companion like a dog.

[onetexan]

6. there's already a fat, lazy dog in the WH - of the carnival barker variety

orange in color

[treestar]

92. LOL!

[get the red out]

7. I love dogs so much

I am glad he DOESN'T have one!

[thesquanderer]

37. He'd probably have Mitt Romney tie it to the wing of Air Force One. (n/t)

[BigmanPigman]

68. If he ever got one the DC branch of the ASPCA

would get flooded with phone calls reporting concern for the dog's safety and health. He would probably kick it during his raging fits of temper.

[djg21]

72. That was my reaction.

It would be animal abuse to entrust the asshat with a dog or any other animal. He already wears a dead cat on his head.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. Oh, THIS feel phony.

[Ohiogal]

9. He doesn't deserve a dog.

And I wish he’d STFU!

[Zoonart]

10. Clearly the man has pee pee doody issues.

He could never own a dog because he does not know how to love.

[BootinUp]

11. Calling SNL... nt

[Dennis Donovan]

12. There's always Max...

[TreasonousBastard]

13. No Time? Didn't every President in my lifetime have a dog? Actually...

every President in the 20th Century had a dog. And a few had cats. And parakeets. Horses... Even a cow.

http://www.presidentialpetmuseum.com/whitehousepets-1/

Until this one.

If FDR had time for his dogs while dealing with the Depression and Hitler while in a wheelchair, who is this heartless scumbag to claim he doesn't have time. And would look strange walking a dog.

[erpowers]

14. Did Melania Once Say She Wanted To Have Sex With Barack Obama?

I realize someone in the crowd supposedly called out Obama's name, but still I am beginning to wonder if Melania might have said she things Obama is sexy, or that she would have like to have sex with Obama if he were not married. There has to be a reason President Obama lives rent free in Trump head. I do not think it is because of the White House Correspondents Dinner because Trump was going after President Obama years before that incident.

[arthurgoodwin]

15. I would Pity any Dog in Trump's Care

For once I agree with Trump: He shouldn't have a dog (or any pet) as he would undoubtedly mistreat it badly (through neglect if nothing else). I cannot imagine him taking the time to actually walk any dog. Even his brief comments quoted above reveal a huge misunderstanding of what having a dog live with you requires: brief walks around the White House lawn are nowhere near enough to ensure the mental and physical best health of most dogs (with the exception of very old dogs, and... maybe... some of the tiny toy breeds).

Living with a dog is commonly known to improve quality of life for many and can teach important lessons about sharing and caring to the young. Occasionally I pity Trump for what appears to have been a horrible neglected childhood. He should have had a dog then - we'd probably all be better off now that had been the case.

[Tikki]

16. The boy with them at the WH has probably wanted a dog for some time...

Now trump is on the record for ‘his reasons, whatever,’ not to bring a dog into the boy’s life, there.


Tikki

[forgotmylogin]

17. You can tell a lot about a person

by how they treat dogs and children.

[CincyDem]

30. More importantly, you can tell a lot of about a person/family by how their dog treats them...

I have ALWAYS said that a dog takes on the personality of its family and then they act it out with no filter. When I see people trying to walk a dog that is absolutely crazy...that's not the dog's fault...it's the environment that they think is normal.

So...can you imagine why Trump's dog would act out ???

scary stuff boys 'n' girls.

[keithbvadu2]

40. how they treat children

[Corgigal]

69. Damn

Sad. Wish I could give that kid a dog. At least he could feel love.

[ToxMarz]

19. I can sleep well knowing he will never own a pet

[LisaM]

21. Good lord.

This was about the only thing I could even stomach about the Bushes - the way they treated their dogs, and I even looked forward to the Barney videos, even though it went against everything in my heart and my head to acknowledge Bush as president (it wasn't Barney's fault).

[Gothmog]

22. No dog would put with trump's selfishness

[muntrv]

24. That's because Trump gets dog walked every time

on Twitter.

[Polybius]

26. What did he say about Obama?

The link isn't working on my phone (it's old and messed up).

[mindem]

27. I don't think there is a dog on the planet

that would have anything to do with drumph so it's a moot point.

[Thomas Hurt]

28. "I don't know -- it doesn't -- I don't feel good,"

I am guessing that every dog Trump has come across has known him for what he is....vile.

I bet there has never been a dog that has not gone after Trump.

[Blue_Tires]

29. Yeah Donnie, please go see how insulting millions of dog lovers

will help you in the polls

[truthisfreedom]

31. Great attitude. Now all the dog lovers hate him.

What a piece of living filth.

[John Fante]

33. Psychopaths like Trump tend to abuse animals. So he's

right, it would look phony for him to walk one.

[Initech]

66. Plus him walking a small dog would really make him look fat.

Just ask Kevin Smith about that one.

[DirtEdonE]

34. Animals can sense trump's bad aura

trump doesn't like dogs or any other pets because animals instinctively don't like him.

I had a friend who said you can never trust anyone who doesn't like animals. Yep. That's true.

[mikehiggins]

55. Remember that "photo op" eagle?

What a poetic piece of video that was. The bird wanted nothing to do with the turd.

[DirtEdonE]

58. I was thinking of that

When I was writing that post.

"How's my hair," the traitor says. "Not good" is always the answer. LOFL WHAT HAIR? That orange crap on his head?

I'd rather be bald like the eagle. And I am bald.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2015/dec/10/donald-trump-attacked-by-american-bald-eagle-video

[Ferryboat]

35. Seem to recall

Trump saying people who owned dogs were low class.

[rurallib]

36. They'd have to tie a pork chop around Trump's neck to get the dog to play with him

[dlk]

38. Once Again, Trump's Petty and Pathetic Jealousy of Obama is on Full Display

[yonder]

39. No Golden Retriever for the orange head deceiver is the best choice for all.

Especially the pooch.

“How would I look walking a dog on the White House lawn?" That pretty much says it all right there. How would he look? I don't think he would have it in him to give it a scritch behind the ears, or a pat on the head without expecting something in return.

[Old Terp]

67. And I have no doubt that he would be one of those people

who would not clean up after his pet.

[karynnj]

83. Not to mention "walking" I can't imagine him walking even a moderate distance.

And as others noted, the dog could be Barron's.

[keithbvadu2]

41. Donald thinks he has something better to pat.

Someone said a while back that Trump would be jealous of the attention a dog would draw.

[mahina]

49. That gif, ewww

Eww eww eww. I had forgotten that. Ugh.

[Sneederbunk]

42. Not to worry. SS could keep dog from repeatedly attacking you.

[progree]

43. For once, Trump tells the truth about himself -- it would be phony FOR HIM to have a dog

given that he can't have sex with it (or thankfully, that isn't his thing). And it doesn't make money. And it wouldn't do much to take care of him in his old age. So what point is there to having a dog? (in his mind).

[truthisfreedom]

44. Trump to Lincoln: phony!

http://www.mrlincolnswhitehouse.org/the-white-house/the-white-house-grounds-entrance/white-house-grounds-entrance-pets/

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

45. He supposedly hates pets.

Thinks they're 'unclean'.

I still thinks he's a germaphobe only when it's convenient for him.

[Honeycombe8]

46. He doesn't have a dog because dogs don't recognize narcissism and ego. And they don't sign NDAs.

A dog loves you because of who you are, not what you are. It gives back. It doesn't just give, even though it doesn't get back anything, like Trump's serfs.

Most Presidents have had dogs. It says a lot about a person, if he doesn't like man's best friend, IMO.

[pwb]

47. It is because dogs can sense evil.

.

[mahina]

48. It looks phony too but the dog has no part of the blame in that.

Maybe it’s because of the big phony.

[LakeSuperiorView]

50. Bullshit. He is scared of animals that aren't coated in 11 herbs and spices, Special Sauce, or

Tartar Sauce. He has no compassion, so is incapable of feeling anything for a pet. Hell, he won't share an umbrella with his wife or son, he leaves them standing in the rain.

He has never known work or responsibility of any kind. That's why he thinks he is working hard, while putting in less than 40% work. He wouldn't qualify for insurance or paid time off at most companies.

[doc03]

52. Isn't it phony for an idiot like him

in the White House? Obama's dog was smarter than him.

[iscooterliberally]

53. Dogs respond back to Trump:

[COL Mustard]

81. Where's the pile of poop?

Or the pee stain on his carpet?

[iscooterliberally]

82. The kids probably won't find them until Easter.

[MaryMagdaline]

54. Maybe your child would like a dog?

You certainly should not have one. Selfish.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

56. Trump should get a dog. Name it "Executive".

Everyone would praise all the "Executive time" on his calendar.

I can envision Trump, walking the dog in the rain, bulging plastic bag in hand.

[dameatball]

57. Anyone that cannot operate an umbrella probably cannot hook a dog on a leash and walk it.

[bonkers221]

59. Dogs know who to trust, so do cats, birds and so on.

No dog should ever have to depend on him. I believe dogs don't like him and he knows it!

[Astraea]

60. How would you look walking a dog on the White House lawn?

Like a human being. Like someone who loves something besides himself.

[Paladin]

62. The dog would look more intelligent than him. That's his problem. (nt)

[Gothmog]

61. 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.

[catrose]

63. As a rescuer, I wouldn't adopt a pet to him

But it is telling that Obama promised his girls a dog and fulfilled that promise. T45 promised his son a dog...happily for the dog, he didn't keep his promise, but I'm sorry for Barron.

I loved seeing the Obama parents walking the dogs and going to Petsmart for food.

[no_hypocrisy]

64. The "real reason":

Because this is what would happen if Trump had a dog --

[Cold War Spook]

65. This is the only time I with thank Trump.

Thank you for not having a dog.

[Maxheader]

70. Mans best friend...

And for something less than a man?

?1476944347

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

71. How would it look , I dono

I imagine about like this ,

[cstanleytech]

73. So, the man that only works for 2 to 3 hours a day cannot a afford the time for a dog???

[muriel_volestrangler]

75. This dog has the best reply to Trump

I can't embed this here - you need to visit Wonkette (I suppose a very strict worksite might call this Not Safe For Work):

https://www.wonkette.com/trump-has-no-time-for-a-dog-what-with-his-tweeting-and-pooping-and-tv-watching-and

[Blue Owl]

76. He's not worthy of the love and loyalty of a dog

n/t

[SHRED]

77. He is correct

For him to show care and love, even for a dog, would indeed be phony.
He isn't capable.

[duforsure]

78. He doesn't have the capability

Or compassion to love having a dog, because he can only love himself.

[Gothmog]

79. For this thread

Link to tweet

[Blue_Tires]

80. His inferiority complex with Obama never gets old

[Bengus81]

84. Huh?? I thought he had a lap dog named Lindsey...............

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

86. I agree with Trump. It would seem phony if he got a dog.

Heck, it seems phony that he has a kid named Barron. The dog would be something for someone else to raise, to walk, to wash, to pick up dog poop. Just like the kid is for someone else to raise, to teach. None of that fits in Trump's world of golf, tweets, and paranoia.

[marlakay]

87. Obviously he has never read why they got one

He promised the girls for going along with campaign that if he won they could get a dog. The girls always wanted one, not him. But he grew to love them.

I can relate, I got my golden retriever 2 yrs ago to help my depressed husband and his love has worked wonders, and I fell head over heels for him.

If anyone had told me, total cat person that thought dogs were too much work I would have one and love every minute of it I wouldn’t have belived it.

[Bengus81]

88. WHO would know more about "phony" than the biggest phony POS alive??

[treestar]

89. Has he ever had one?

If so, did he tie it to the roof of a car?

[Raven]

93. This is why Trump shouldn't own a dog:

He is unqualified.
