What we really need at the WH is that rest home cat that always hung out at the door or room of the next person who was on the throes of their last days/deathbed. We could park it right at Trump's bedroom door as an ominous attempt at premonition to scare the you know what out of him.

Yep. Good point. And probably in deep, conniving scheming about the Gaza strip too. So much imperialistic real estate and loot to divvy up.
