“I don’t have time [for dogs or any pet, for that matter]”
Is Trumpian for
“I only like myself.”

Whilst I don’t disagree with you, I suspect the reason is more pragmatic.
Danged dog might lick that shitty fake tan off his face, and he could never risk that happening in public view…
One of my favorite, utterly relatable stories about Jimmy Carter was the time he had to let the dog out in the middle of the night and accidentally locked himself outside the White House, alone and in his pajamas.
No dog would have him,
anyway.
I’m wondering if he
could have a fear of dogs?
He needs to control everything,
and any self-respecting dog
would bite his tiny orange hands.
Or America for that matter…
Maybe… Maybe!
He considered getting a retriever, but had trouble getting a certificate of authenticity that it was 24 karat golden.
I think it’s more that even a dog couldn’t pay enough attention to him.
Perhaps Dim-Don would go for
A lap dog??
He’d be jealous all of the time because it would always be cuter than him!
‘“President” Donald Trump is the first president since the Victorian era not to own a dog.’
Erm, Clinton did not have a dog, at least not while in office. They had Socks, a cat, a better choice in my humble opinion.
“fired like a dog” also: he believes that a dog is an employee to be fired at will…
The slavish love and devotion a dog gives you comes at a price of having to care for the dog, which involves thinking and caring about a living being other than yourself. That last bit is the hard ask that Trump is unwilling to do.
eta: and he doesn’t want a cat, obviously, because cats do not give their undying loyalty to anyone. A cat regards itself as your equal in all ways, and that’s most definitely not something Trump wants.
Only humans are so stupid as to give him the fawning and craven loyalty he craves without expecting anything other than a kick in the face in return.
Yet another reason not to like Trump…
…but seriously, I doubt Trump could give a dog the love and care it deserves, so it’s for the best he doesn’t have one.
Even my dog has the good sense and taste to eat his steaks cooked no more than medium-rare.
This is the stupidest Trump meme. I don’t want a dog either; I guess that makes me an awful person.
It’s not so much that liking dogs means you’re a good person (plenty of bad people had pets), but being completely unable to relate to animals is a defect.
The stupidest Trump meme so far.
If you personally don’t want a dog, fine. If the very concept of people finding companionship through animals seems phony and incomprehensible to you then you might be an awful person.
