Animal Lovers React to Donald Trump Reportedly Calling Pets ‘Low Class’
There is plenty going on in our world today, but one bit of news has pet owners growling and hissing.
As Twitter user caraallieray puts it, “There’s a lot happening, but I keep obsessing on how Trump said owning pets is ‘low class.’ ”
This shocking comment is pulled from a recent article in The Atlantic, regarding Vice President Mike Pence. In the piece, an adviser tells The Atlantic that President Trump reportedly thinks pets are “low class” and was “embarrassed” when Pence announced in January that he and his family would be moving into the Naval Observatory with their pets which included, at the time, two cats, a rabbit, and a snake.
“Trump ridiculed the menagerie to his secretary, according to a longtime adviser. ‘He was embarrassed by it; he thought it was so low class,’ says the adviser. ‘He thinks the Pences are yokels,’ ” reads the segment, offending animal lovers across the Internet.
While the article, titled “God’s Plan for Mike Pence,” contains over 1,500 words, the aforementioned three sentences are causing the biggest stir, especially on Twitter, where pet owners are sounding off about the president’s reported feelings on furry friends.
