Why doesn't Trump have a pet? [CNN Worried]
CNN ^ | Updated 12:25 PM ET, Fri December 29, 2017 | Randi Kaye, CNN

As a reporter for "Anderson Cooper 360," I live my life on a deadline. Plane to catch. Story to write. Live report to deliver. It's always exciting, but also can be so stressful!

But in the scheme of things, my job as a reporter for CNN is a lot less stressful than, say, the job of President. These days, the leader of the free world has a lot to worry about.

North Korea.

Middle East Peace.

Terrorism.

The Russia Investigation.

I can't imagine the stress of that job! Luckily, after a long and stressful day I have my golden retriever, Gatsby, to come home to. He always greets me with tail wags and wet kisses. Then he curls up at my feet with his head resting on my toes. If I didn't need both hands to type this article, I would surely have one of them on him. Petting him from head to toe is the best stress reliever!

Which is why that I think you, Mr. President, would be wise to get a dog and start 2018 off on the right foot (or paw, if you will).

You would benefit from owning a dog in so many ways. It's scientifically proven!

Studies show that playing with or petting an animal can increase levels of the stress-reducing hormone oxytocin and decrease production of the stress hormone cortisol. Don't you want more of those feel-good chemicals in your brain?

All those nights you reportedly spend alone, pacing around the White House in that bathrobe would be in the past. A loyal companion would be at your side, and with just a few pats on the head your stress from the day would slip away.

He’s got a Wolf. As in Blitzer. And a giant hamster wheel that Wolf runs on every day. SCANDAL! BREAKING NEWS! etc.

That’s why they complain about him not having a pet, they want to catch him in an “LBJ Moment.”

And remember how the press skewered Romney for putting his dog on the roof of his car.

I’ve known/been owned by a lot of cats in my lifetime.

I think cats are too smart to live with Hillary.

None of mine have had an affinity for doddering old drunks.

some people have a certain personality type that feels good when they are in control.

Trump has an electronic pet. He pets it frequently and it responds tweet, tweet.

the “crazy cat lady” type.

Absolutely NOT.

Cats are Conservative, by nature.

Hillary is a “Slobbering Sycophant Dog” person.

That is, if ANY kind of animal would have anything to do with her...

Barron may have or have had a small caged pet. The Trumps live in very luxurious pristine residences. Maybe someone in the family is allergic.

Someone give Trump a Beta he can keep in a bowl on his desk, or maybe a rock with a ribbon. The Media, giving their supporters that which pleases them. Forget the upward successes, we have to comment on no pet? The media trying their best to out do the Onion.

MSM is his pet, makes them all run around and chase the red dot...he even kicks some of you and you come right back!

Heck, he even feeds you Choice red meat on a daily basis...

Who needs a pet, YOU ARE THE PET!

I just saw a commercial for a stuffed animal called Trumpy Bear while watching Walker Texas Ranger. Maybe that could be his pet.

He’s also a neat freak and a germaphobe. I doubt he’d want a dog on the furniture!
