Most people like dogs. I’d love to have a dog, but we have cats because they fit our lifestyle; they don’t require the attention that a dog needs.

Studies (yes, they’ve done studies) show that Republicans prefer dogs over cats. However, President Trump doesn’t care for dogs, says he doesn’t have time for a dog, and that’s okay.

However, he frequently refers to dogs on Twitter…and almost always in a negative way, so it’s good he doesn’t have one. To the President, dogs are something you get rid of, that you spuriously dump. That’s the context for his numerous Twitter references to dogs.

Consider these Presidential tweets (and please, don’t take this post too seriously):

“DavidGregory got thrown off of TV by NBC, fired like a dog!”

“GlennBeck got fired like a dog by #Fox.”

“Now Sloppy Steve [Bannon] has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad!”

About Omarosa: “Good work by General [John F.] Kelly for quickly firing that dog!”

“Erik Erickson got fired like a dog from RedState.”

About a newspaper: “Union Leader refuses to comment as to why they were kicked out of the ABC News debate like a dog.”

“I hear that sleepy eyes @chucktodd will be fired like a dog from ratings starved Meet The Press?”

“George Will is perhaps the most boring political pundit on television. Got thrown off ABC like a dog.”

“Does anyone remember this @BillMaher clip when he got fired from ABC- in fact, fired like a dog!”

“Obama called Reverend Wright his friend, counselor & great leader–then dumped him like a dog!”

“Mitt Romney had his chance to beat a failed president but he choked like a dog.”

“Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again–just watch.”

“Why is it necessary to comment on Arianna Huffington looks? Because she is a dog who wrongfully comments on me.”

“General McChrystal got fired like a dog by Obama.”

“Egypt is a total mess. We should have backed Mubarak instead of dropping him like a dog.”

“Obama called Reverend Wright his friend, counselor & great leader–then dumped him like a dog!”

“Piss on Rahm [Emmanuel]. He is just an Obama lap dog.”

“Ted Cruz lifts the Bible high into the air and then lies like a dog–over and over again!”

At some point, probably during his childhood, a dog apparently did something to deeply offend the President, and he has never gotten over it. I’m just glad he doesn’t speak ill of cats.
