The president gave his approval. So now we can write about his dog wife and his dog daughters, and he won’t mind.

Is it worse to be refused service in a restaurant (even with a comped cheese plate appetizer), or to be called a dog by the President of the United States?

Just compare the vocabulary he uses to attack, as an example, Nancy Pelosi. It's not the same at all. Look at the ways he attacks Hillary Clinton. See the pattern? He has a "special" way of attacking Caucasian women that doesn't match the way he attacks women (and men) of color.

Isn't that what it means? As in, "she's a real dog". He can't use racial slurs (in public) so he resorts to this.

No surprise from this guy. His behavior has no limits.

A monarchy is the closest thing to being a CEO in business, I think. You give orders and they are obeyed, you hire and fire whoever you want on a whim. Not all of them of course, just the crummy ones.

And that's what Trumpy boy was thinking he was getting, probably. A kingdom.
