Huckabee’s son killed a dog. Sarah Palin’s son stood on one. Tomi Lahren kicks hers. Mitt Romney drove with his on the roof of his car. Ted Cruz abandoned his. People are mocking Biden for mourning his… I’m not saying all Republicans are dog-hating monsters or anything but...- OhNoSheTwitnt

This is why Trump is popular with the right - because they’re all as shitty as he is.

Trump wouldn't let his young son, Barron, have a dog even though they were living the freaking White House.

Trump consistently uses a negative dog metaphor to demean or belittle someone or something. For example, he claimed that a political opponent "sweats like a dog." Dogs don't sweat; they pant to relieve their body heat. When Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed by American Special Forces, Trump said, "He died like a dog."

Hey, Trump, you stupid asshole. Dogs don't die because an American Special Forces unit shoots the defenseless animal. They die from neglect or malnourishment.

In the event of someone else's failure, Trump calls them losers and dogs.

Trump doesn't like canines and it's typical of his inhumanity. Dogs are humans' best friends in the animal kingdom. Here's a slightly corny but historically accurate explanation of how wolves evolved into dogs through their interactions with humans. It's from Neil deGrasse Tyson's version of "Cosmos."



It makes a lot of sense.

Trump, not so much.

Then again trump is not human. You are so right:

This was a great series. I love how he refers to the domestication "of humans". My dogs have trained me very well.

And like so much else, Trump, knowing nothing about them, assumes there is nothing to know.

He loves to call women who he finds unattractive "dogs." And "fat pigs." (Projecting much, Donnie?)

When he wants to insult men, he calls them "weak" and "losers." When he wants to insult a woman, he goes straight to disparaging her looks. Like HE has any room to talk, the ugly orange pig!

because my rescue dawg knows who his daddy is...he is mine and I am his. I'm amazed at the GOPers who are canine-unfriendly. Maybe the new test for voter registration is a dog that loves you! Just saying...

The only 'pets ' he had were the flies that were attracted to his stench and then he would proceed to pull their wings off.

He said it during his show The Closer or The Resistance. Keith posts dog info every single day, trying to help them find homes, get medical care, or find lost pets. He loves his 3 dogs enormously. During Covid lockdown the pups were on his lap when he filmed from his balcony.

Cats cannot be bullied and if you don't want to earn their trust or are unworthy of it. The cat will not suffer an asshole. And repukes are assholes. Remember Ernie the six toed cat that mauled bush?

I thought that was hilarious. Cats can tell if you are a good person or not.

And a cat cannot be owned. That's why authoritarians hate cats..

Really signals to folks that there’s no limit to who or what is next on his no compassion or respect tour. It should not have been a hard decision to sign the bill, and yet, abbott had to abbott.
