I'll be surprised if someone with video editing skills doesn't alter
that to replace Darth Vader with Trump on the TV then say that his dog
was smart enough to know that Trump was evil so what's up with all the
people who voted for him?

I'm pretty sure I've seen it already.

Several years back, one of my cats was starting to use my bedside table
as a scratching post so I bought the absolute smallest, cheapest water
pistol I could find at the toy store. The first time the cat came toward
my night table I pulled out the little orange water pistol and pointed
at her and she acted genuinely scared, as if it was a real gun and that
I was about to shoot her dead! I'm still surprised that she somehow
understood that it was a (representation of a deadly) weapon and feared
it. I then gave her a squirt with it just to show that it WASN'T deadly.
She still flinched the next times she saw it but less and less each time
I used it.

My cat wasn't frightened by that tactic, she just ducked behind something
and waited for me to put it down.
