There was a thread about this several months back, about the abundance of Whitehouse pets over the years, and none moving in with Trump if he won. A sociopath would only adopt a pet for appearances sake, and then have nothing more to do with it.

His adoption of a dog, "fell through"? The dog opted out? Interesting that it was a GOLDENdoodle!
