Lara Trump talked about why she believes pit bulls are the “Donald Trump of the dog world” during an episode of her Fox News show this weekend.
“Pit bulls have gotten a very bad reputation,” the former Republican National Committee co-chair told Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy in a segment marking upcoming National Rescue Dog Day. Their interview also touched on Portnoy’s adoption of a rescue pit bull named Miss Peaches and the problem of America’s overcrowded animal shelters.
“I actually call pit bulls the Donald Trump of the dog world,” the wife of Eric Trump continued. “Because they’ve been mischaracterized by the media, they’ve been demonized in so many different ways and people have an assumption about them that really isn’t true.”
Portnoy chimed in: “If you were brought up in a hostile environment and taught certain things, you may act a certain way. That’s not on the dog.”
