Lets start with the startling claim that trump made about migrants eating pets. Yes, this is one key moment. Trump made this baseless claim about immigrants and a city in ohio. In springfield, theyre eating i the dogs, the people that came in, theyre eating the cats, theyre eating the pets of i the people that live there, and this is whats happening in our country.
