So what kind of animal is Trump?



(Per his defense against the Atlantic article... "only an animal would say a thing like that...&quot

So Donald - you suggest, unintentionally, that you are an animal. What kind of animal are you?

salin's response: A Jackal. Wasn't Damien from 'The Omen' part jackal?

Jakel is cause even though not nearly as deadly, just the meanness of it. The really deadly don't define so frivolous with vicious, but it may also just be perceived.

Some are dangerous because they are carnivores that eat other animals or they are protecting the territory they need to eat and reproduce. Some are venomous because that's how they protect themselves or capture prey to eat. But they don't act with malice or intent to injure just to make themselves feel good. It's an insult to animals to call Trump an animal.

he would never say that.... only an animal would.... noone respects like he does. But of course he has said such things and thus....

Call it a weak moment for me. Not my better angel. But thanks for your point - it is a nice balance/reality check.

Notice that there hasn’t been any real denial that Trump didn’t say those things.

At the direction of the ANHC (Antifa Navy High Command), top Antifa Navy scientists have been quietly researching this question for a number of years, and the unpublished consensus among our scientists appears to be that Donald Trump IS NOT an animal at all. In fact, there’s hardly any analogue for Donald Trump in scientific knowledge. The closest analogue in the known world is a FUNGUS—albeit, Trump appears to be a semi-sentient fungus—something never before observed. What’s worse is that we think the Trump fungus is immune to canned soup, so our options for combatting it are limited.

I could tell you more, but then I would have to kill you. Even worse, the ANHC would have to kill me. I will pass on that, thank you.

He wallows in shit.

Hearing that denial made me 100% certain that there are tapes. With that vehement a denial, there is live audio and probably video of well of these things being said.

In Carl Hiaasen’s latest hilarious installment, Squeeze me, the Secret Service's code name for the orange anus is Mastodon. The nimrod LOVES the name because it sounds tough. On only his second day in the White House, the President had ordered his chief of staff to arrange a trip to the National Zoo for a close-up look at a real mastodon. The chief of staff wasn't brave enough to tell the President the truth, so he cooked up a story that the zoo's beloved mastodon herd was on loan to a wildlife park in Christchurch, New Zealand.
