Why the Trump White House is puppy-less

When President Trump announced the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, he proclaimed a new American hero: the dog that chased him down. Chris Cillizza walks us through a brief history of presidents and their dogs, and what it means that Trump doesn't have one in his White House. #CNN #News #Cillizza

    1. @Dolt Daft Dunce Deplorable Donald Trump why did the Dems just vote for an inquiry, when they could have gone straight to impeachment???

    2. *I believe you’re a Lieberal Puppet who takes orders from a fat, ugly little putz with glasses!* #Trump2020

  1. They say dogs are a good judge of character, given this little factoid I doubt Trump could find a dog that would not bite him.

    1. If Joe Biden wins the presidency they’re going to have to place random dolls that look about 8 or 9 throughout the White House so he can come up behind them, squeeze their shoulders delicately and whisper into their ear.

  2. Ahhhhh! I get it.
    I see where you came up with these ideas and what you were
    thinking about while listening to the speech. 🚫🐕💨💨💨💨

    1. @SE Morgan Yep! Apparently so–as the NYT and Jim Acosta breathlessly told us that it was photo-shopped. I’m thinking that CNN imbibers needed to be told.

    2. @Truth Triggers the failing New York Slimes and fake news hack Acosta are low IQ. Your claim is very believable.

  3. Why would he need pets around when he can treat his staff like pets? I hear Mike Pence and Lindsey Graham are “good boys”. Especially since both are neutered.

    1. PAID CNN ROBOT You are a robot? You must sound like Trump reading a speech all hopped up on Adderall and European Sudafed.
