Trump's immigrant claims spark viral TikTok mockery
4:32 PM EDT, September 13, 2024
On Tuesday, September 10, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris debated. The presidential candidates discussed various issues, but the most notable comment came from the Republican representative concerning immigrants eating dogs. TikTok users have already turned this into a trend.
Donald Trump is the Republican Party's candidate for president. He is doing everything he can to win over as many people as possible. It's logical and understandable; after all, it's election campaign season. This means that politicians who are trying to get to the White House meet during debates. Such a debate occurred in the United States on Tuesday, September 10. Donald Trump faced off against the Democratic representative Kamala Harris.
It's no secret that Donald Trump is not a supporter of allowing immigrants into the United States. It was, therefore, obvious that he would mention this during the presidential debate. However, no one expected how he would bring it up. He made some rather strange and, above all, completely untrue statements. Trump claimed that immigrants from Haiti eat dogs, cats, and other pets of Americans. One can guess that the presidential candidate did not foresee how this statement would turn into a trend on social media.
Donald Trump's words turned into a TikTok trend
Donald Trump's words about Haitian immigrants eating dogs, cats, and pets echoed widely. This didn't surprise anyone. The statement was firstly false and secondly incredibly foolish. However, no one expected how Generation Z would handle these words. Young people quickly turned the former US president's statement into a sound on TikTok and danced to it with mocking looks.
Donald Trump likes to be in the spotlight. However, one can guess that this was not what he expected after the concluded debate. He hoped that people would praise him, quote him on social media. Instead, young people create sounds from his words and happily dance, pointing out how foolish the statements about immigrants eating cats were.
