Man’s best friend may also be Trump’s greatest enemy.
Trump and dogs have a complicated history and there’s evidence to suggest that he doesn’t like them at all. In her memoir, Ivana Trump described the president as “not a dog fan”. He also has a lengthy track record of comparing his rivals to dogs as an insult.
Now, the dogs are fighting back.
A viral video on TikTok shows one pup’s hilarious crusade against the president. In the video, a husky named Ghost walks up to various Trump signs around a neighbourhood and urinates on them.
Is it petty? Probably. But many people thought he was just doing what we’re all thinking.
Ghost’s owner, Derek, teased a potential sequel video on his TikTok and urged viewers to vote.
The video, which has over 11 million likes on TikTok, was also shared by anti-Trump Republican campaign group the Lincoln Project and has 1.5 million views on Twitter.
