What kind of dog would President Donald Trump get if his son Barron asked for one? A Xoloitzcuintli , those exotic looking Mexican hairless dogs? No, of course not, send that good boy back to the border!

Or maybe a Pungsan because North Koreas Kim Jong Un recently gifted South Korean President Moon Jae-in with two of the rare Korean hunting dogs as a gesture of goodwill between the two countries? Probably, actually, yes. Look at how hyped up Trump gets whenever Kim sends him a letter; imagine how over the moon hed be if is favorite dictator sent a rare dog to the White House.

Its a fun thing to consider, but ultimately, the debate is moot. The president is famously dog-averse. Breaking from a long tradition of presidents with pups , Trump is the first POTUS in about 150 years to have no known pets while occupying the White House.

I wouldnt mind having one, honestly, but I dont have any time, he told supporters at an El Paso rally in February. How would I look walking a dog on the White House lawn?

Whats more, a dog really doesnt fit his personal brand.

Feels a little phony to me, he said . Though he said many have told him a dog might be good for optics and his public image, hes doesnt see the need because thats not the relationship I have with my people.
