12. I bet that's why Trump hates dogs and why there is no White House dog now.

Indeed, he has no pets of any kind in the White House. This little excerpt from CNN's story about the unprecedentedly petless White House is telling:

Trump lived with a poodle, Chappy, with his first wife, Ivana, who wrote in her memoir, "Raising Trump," that "Donald was not a dog fan."

"When I told him I was bringing Chappy with me to New York, he said, 'No,' " she wrote. "'It's me and Chappy or no one!' I insisted, and that was that."

Chappy, she later said, "had an equal dislike of Donald."
