Trump Faces Backlash for False Claims During Debate
News summary

During a recent presidential debate, former President Donald Trump made numerous false claims, including outrageous assertions about Haitian migrants eating pets and unsubstantiated allegations of corruption within the Biden administration. Trump's comments echoed unfounded right-wing narratives, which local authorities in Springfield, Ohio, swiftly debunked, stating there were no credible reports of pets being harmed by immigrants. Additionally, Trump continued to propagate false claims regarding gender-affirming surgeries being performed in schools without parental consent, despite a lack of evidence to support such claims. A recent report revealed that Trump campaign officials are relieved that his controversial posts are now confined to Truth Social, where his audience is smaller. Trump's reliance on conspiracy theories and fringe narratives raises questions about their impact on the broader electorate, especially given the debate's massive viewership of over 57.5 million. Critics have responded with sarcasm and humor, mocking the absurdity of Trump's claims on social media.
