"Low class"[edit]

The article reports that "President of the United States Donald Trump reportedly described Bundo as 'low class'". What the source states is that "In December, it leaked that Donald Trump was upset that the Pences had brought their pets into the vice presidential residence, reportedly thinking it was 'low class' and that they were 'yokels'". Those are slightly different things, aren't they? The source isn't stating that Trump thinks Bundo is "low class", but the act of bringing him to the official residence was. Do others agree with this interpretation? Cordless Larry (talk) 14:56, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's a fair point. I was probably having a little too much fun with the whole thing. Maybe the current wording works better? GMG ^talk 21:19, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, much better, though I might avoid using "Washington" as a synonym for the Pences' official residence. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:40, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Switched to "vice presidential residence"...which as far as I can tell is...not supposed to be capitalized? GMG ^talk 10:21, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenMeansGo: I'm not entirely sure about that. See: Proper adjective. wumbolo ^^^ 12:39, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno. Looking at Number One Observatory Circle, seems we capitalize it when referring to the person, but not the place. GMG ^talk 13:02, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenMeansGo: Looking at the article you linked, it contains only one instance of not capitalizing the place, and capitalizes the place 3 times. wumbolo ^^^ 13:38, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it would be my luck that I would look at the one exactly wrong example to go by. Fixed. GMG ^talk 13:49, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You've now got me wondering whether it shouldn't be hyphenated! Cordless Larry (talk) 14:13, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It happens to the best of us. GMG ^talk 14:22, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Presidential bunny"[edit]

Marlon Bundo is not a Presidential bunny. Marlon Bundo is a Vice Presidential bunny. wumbolo ^^^ 11:49, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Executive bunny? GMG ^talk 12:01, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The real question is, can Trump fire him? wumbolo ^^^ 13:05, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Age?[edit]

It isn't mentioned in the article, but what is the normal life expectancy for this kind of rabbit? At 8 or 9 years, was MB elderly, middle-aged, a teenager? CFLeon (talk) 19:29, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
