“Tongue ma fart-box”?? I know you’re just repeating what Merle said, but … geez, now I can’t see through my tears to write a response … ok, collected myself.

Before the gesture that killed Merle’s chances, Trump definitely liked the idea of a talking dog. He interviewed one that worked in the CIA, but he judged it to be both a liar and a leaker (as in, pisses on everything). So ‘no' to the idea of Trump's White House pet, but still in the running to replace Sean Spicer.
