Trump Family Breaks Presidential Tradition in Not Keeping White House Pet [CNN screed excerpted]

While the Trumps have yet to fill the White House grounds with any pets, Vice President Mike Pence and second lady Karen Pence have a veritable menagerie at the Naval Observatory.
When the Pences traveled from Indiana to Washington days before the inauguration, they disembarked with cats Pickle and Oreo, plus rabbit Marlon Bundo. Bundo, who has his own Instagram account, has become an icon in the rabbit world, even appearing at an event alongside the vice president.
Days before the election, the family lost their beloved 13-year-old beloved beagle, Maverick.
Less than a year later, cat Oreo joined Maverick in pet heaven.
“Rest in peace Oreo. You touched a lot of hearts in your little life. Our family will miss you very much,” Karen Pence tweeted alongside photos of the black and white cat.
But Marlon Bundo and Pickle weren’t the only pets for long; one week later, the vice president, second lady, and daughter Charlotte traveled to their home state of Indiana, where kitten Hazel and Australian shepherd puppy Harley joined the brood.
The second lady also unveiled a beehive at the Naval Observatory, now home to more than 35,000 bees.

The depth of CNN's animosity to the President is almost pathological. It defies all reason.

More proof that Donald Trump is focused on the task and is not overwhelmed by the image

If President Trump decides to get a WH pet, he should get a pet jackass and name it Hillary.

I never observed that either obama or either clinten were genuinely "dog" people. If I had to guess, my suspicion is that Hillary hates doggies (but this is a guess.)
As far as President Trump?
Easy peasy, let's all chip in and buy him a puppy!

Trump Family Breaks Presidential Tradition in Not Keeping White House Pet....POTUS Trump #! knows he will be too busy cleaning up BO and Barnie’s messes to pay the correct attention to a dog, #2 He doesn’t want to spend taxpayers money on a $100,000 trainer/handler, a veterinarian, a 35,000 per year food and medicine bill #3 Who TFC?

If President Trump does not like dogs, the most humane thing he could do is not to use a dog or cat as prop at the White House.
To: Seaplaner
Bo (Barack Obama initials. So "clever") was the ultimate Potemkin pet.
An insult to the voters' intelligence.
Two people who are utterly incompetent to even walk a dog -- let alone own one.

With all the ‘RATS scurrying around the White House, I don’t think the Trump’s need any more animals there. Unless they get a ‘RAT killing terrier.
