I wonder why Donald Trump has never had a pet dog... could it be that dogs see through him?
He probably didn't have time for a dog. If you haven't noticed, Trump's a go getter type who has been on the go his entire life. Biden seems pretty nice for a crook and his wife looks pretty good for her age. Do you ever see how she looks when she's with him while he's being interviewed. She looks like she knows he could make a mistake or become discombobulated at anytime. She always acts like I had to act with mother when she flubbed up and became disoriented. Like I've said, my mom wasn't the President of the United States.
Donald Trump has been a go-getter all his life -- all for himself, and a raw deal for anyone with the misfortune of getting snookered into a dealing with him. The optimal businessman is the one who gets people to want even more deals. Truly good business is a win-win... good for both parties. That's how prosperity arises. Garbage for garbage, schlock for schlock is a wasted effort. Fleece deals are one-sided; the problem with those is that one participant ends up less able to do further business. Good for good makes the world a better place. The only one-sided deal that is good is an inheritance. Trump does the fleece deal.
A dog has a calming effect on some people. It makes life less stuffy. People with pets are more likely to survive surgery. Taking time out for a dog is like taking time out for exercise -- you get it back, and your life is richer for it.
