Why don't Trump or Biden use animals to campaign?

[ProgressiveModerate]

Animals can do a lot to help humanize people, especially if it's interacting with something cute like a dog, cat, or capybara.

Why don't Trump and Biden try to be around animals more when they go out in public. In the case of Biden, I could see him walking a dog and playing with it as a way to help combat the age narrative as well since dogs tend to be associated with playfulness and vitality.

Nearly 2/3rds of Americans have a pet in their household, so it could also be a way to help relate to large swaths of the American public.

No, being with animals more won't singlehandedly change either of their images, but it does seem like the sort of thing that could have a subtle marginal impact.

Trump pretty famously dislikes animals and the lack of pets in his White House was notable.

You might find this reddit thread interesting. But it was basically suggesting Dems should open a bunch of donkey petting zoos across the country to gain postive sentiment to their party. And it would be harder for the GOP to replicate since elephants are much bigger, more expensive, and have stricter laws about them.

Biden should offer Trump the role of White House pet for the lols.

Trump doesn’t like animals, and Brandon’s animals don’t like people.

They do the Donkey is D for socialism Christ, rode on donkey and helped the poor and Elephant was used by George Washington and Lincoln to represent GOP victories in the Revolutionary and Civil War. Although the Whigs were the liberal party during Colonial Times, due to Slavery of the Dixiecrat party and Secular is the Liberal party now

Trump doesn't have enough empathy to own a pet and Biden's dogs keep biting people

Weirdly fits the two presidential nominees.

Where is the proof in this?

Trump will have multiple rank and file GOP lapdogs jumping the trail for him. Don't worry.

He weirdly retweeted those cuddling jaguars though.

Riding a donkey could work for other dem candidates, but it wouldn't work for Biden...

Trump doesn't know how to love anyone or anything--except himself and his money.
