Trump declares he loves dogs

In a campaign that has included more pet-related remarks than others, he once declared to the audience that he “loves dogs.”

Notably, Trump was the first president to live without a pet in the White House. “I love dogs. We love dogs,” he said.

He then veered off topic to discuss Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law. He mentioned she loves dogs and other pets, and she would visit the office. “And she would get me to do things for doggies that you wouldn’t believe,” he stated.

“Dad, we have to make the cages larger. We have to provide air conditioning,” Trump informed the crowd that Lara told him.
