Neither Trump nor the dog look happy about it

Neither Trump nor the dog look happy about it

This brings to mind something I don’t think we’ve appreciated fully. Trump is a germophobe, which means he doesn’t like animals and he’s notoriously unhappy about touching all kinds of things.

I can’t help but think of the massive hissy fit people had about John Kerry drinking green tea for his prostate cancer and ordering a sandwich with swiss cheese. The Real Americans thought it made him an effeminate elitists, dontcha know? But nobody says a word about Trump’s neurotic aversion to animals and germs. That’s very manly and down to earth, apparently.

*Before anyone says anything, I don’t believe germophobia is anything to be ashamed of, of course. Neither is eating swiss cheese and drinking green tea. I’m just pointing out that Trump’s fans can be very tolerant when it comes to him. Others, not so much.

Oh my God:

Pence, by the way, is a well-known animal lover who has a menagerie in the VP residence. He gets a few points for being human, as he shows in his interaction with Conan.
