Trump mocks presidential pets

 President Donald Trump offered a candid and comedic explanation for why he never owned a dog while in office during the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches' annual dinner in West Palm Beach, Fla. The event, held near Mar-a-Lago, marked Trump's second appearance in Florida on the same day and his first public remarks outside the White House grounds since a recent shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Trump reflected on the pressure he faced upon entering the White House in 2017 to adopt a dog, noting the long-standing tradition among U.S. presidents. "When I went to the White House, they said, 'Sir, you'll be the first president in 68 years, or something, that doesn't have a dog.'"Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
