Trump Gets 4 Words Trending For All The Wrong Reasons After Debate

Donald Trump spawned a trending topic for all the wrong reasons after telling a racist lie  that Haitian immigrants are eating peoples pets.

THEYRE EATING THE DOGS, trended on X, formerly known as Twitter, as critics mocked the Republican nominee after the ABC News presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday night.

Trump actually said those four words during his lie-filled debate-stage meltdown .

In Springfield, theyre eating the dogs, he said, as his opponent cracked up in disbelief. The people that came in, theyre eating the cats. Theyre eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is whats happening in our country. And its a shame.

He was referencing a baseless conspiracy theory  that his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), had spread a day earlier about immigrants in the Ohio town.

The former president went there after Harris attacked him on a subject close to his heart: his rally crowds.

Im going to actually do something really unusual and Im going to invite you to attend one of Donald Trumps rallies because its a really interesting thing to watch, Harris said. You will see during the course of his rallies he talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter. He will talk about windmills cause cancer. And what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.

ABC News moderator David Muir asked Trump for his response to the earlier part of what Harris had been discussing, a border security bill she supported that Republicans tanked under Trumps influence.

Trump didnt speak about the bill at all, instead ranting that people dont leave my rallies and fear-mongering at length about immigrants and eating pets.

Much mockery and face-palming ensued on social media.

I cant believe theyre eating the dogs was a REBUTTAL to You say weird stuff at your rallies, comedian Kylie Brakeman tweeted .

User @Scottcrates lauded Harris for her genius move baiting Trump with the rally swipe.
