Donald Trump hates dogs. Here's what that tells us about him
By Tony Parsons28 March 2020
Of all his changes at the White House, Donald’s lack of canine companions goes against the grain
When Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died following a raid by American special forces in his Syrian bolthole, Donald Trump was delighted to report, in October, that the Islamic State leader had “died like a dog”.
You mean enfolded by love and grief, Mr President? You mean surrounded by human beings who feel like they have just had their hearts ripped out?
Not quite. If anyone was in any doubt about how a dog dies, Trump was happy to elaborate: al-Baghdadi had “whimpered, cried and screamed like a coward”, he chortled. “[He] spent his last moments in utter fear, in total panic and dread!”
But that is not how a dog dies, Mr President. There are almost 90 million dogs in the United States and all of their owners will have winced to hear their president gloating about how a dog slips this mortal coil. Personally, when my dog leaves this world, I pray he will die in my arms and looking in my eyes, at peace and pain-free, knowing he will be mourned for the rest of my life.
Killing the leader of Islamic State should have been the greatest triumph of the Trump administration, but with his crass, anti-canine sentiments, Trump managed to snatch flesh-crawling revulsion from the jaws of victory. Inevitably, Trump’s “died like a dog” drivel was compared to Barack Obama’s solemn, restrained announcement when Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011. Trump did not sound like Obama. The exulting violence of his rant made him sound more like some eye-swivelling terrorist nutjob. His sneering “died like a dog” line was particularly ill-judged because the special forces had pursued al-Baghdadi with the help of a K-9 unit. Indeed, one of the dogs – a Belgian Malinois named Conan – had been injured when al-Baghdadi detonated his suicide vest. But Trump has long used man’s best friend as a symbol of all sorts of nastiness.
He is also the first president in a century to not have a First Dog. This shows his poor sense of tradition and lack of patriotism. Indeed this election proved that Dogsets bite is bigger than its bark.
