Donald Trump has never had a pet in his life and does not own a single pair of jeans.

I know those two things might sound trivial to some, but to me it's just one more reason to believe he's an actual human being from planet Earth.

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/donald-trump-clothing-wear-jeans-fashion-white-house-obama-a7690941.html

But while Mr Obama, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan - among others - donned denim for the likes of children's Easter egg hunts at the White House and other similar events, jeans are where Mr Trump draws the line.

The Washington Post says it has trawled its archives and claims there's no visual evidence that Mr Trump has worn jeans at any point in the past two decades.

For the sake of everyone, you can check out the link of him wearing jeans, but I won't force anyone to view the image.

Maybe because the relatively scant pictures of him wearing jeans back in the 80s and 90s made him look like.....well, that.

Possibly his last decision I might agree with.

In a businessman costume. Jeans don't work, unless one wants to clear some brush.

Nobody should conflate my feelings towards others with my interpretation of how Trump views them, but I'm not surprised, either.

And pets are better off being part of a family that actually has a human heart in their chest rather than a lump of coal.

Does he think it makes him seem more "upper class"? Does he think he looks more attractive? More powerful? He even makes his sons wear suits. Even 10 year old Barron wears a suit. They say its because he wants to look like his dad, but come on, how many 10 year olds do you know that willing wear a suit and tie every day?
