Why Does Donald Trump Hate Dogs So Much?

Ashe Schow

The media has been unnecessarily focused on whether President Donald Trump is a sexist or a racist for calling former White House aide Omarosa Manigault “a dog,” in a tweet after she claimed to have tapes where he used the n-word.

But what if they’re asking the wrong question? Trump uses the word “dog” as an insult quite frequently, as noted by Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro. He’s used it against Mitt Romney, David Gregory, Bill Maher, Erick Erickson, George Will, David Axelrod, Glenn Beck, Chuck Todd, Brent Bozell, Ted Cruz… to name a few. His most common use of the word is to claim someone was “fired like a dog.” I’m not sure how many working dogs he knows, but I don’t know if they’re fired in any particularly special way.
