Do you have a dog? Seems like a simple question. And then you are reminded that Donald Trump has never had a dog in his life and only refers to dogs when he is making an insult.

While Joe Biden in the White House got a shelter shepherd who apparently bit somebody from the secret service long before any of us humans fully understood just how corrupted the secret service had become.
