Cats and dogs for supper: the best memes inspired by Trump's debate claim

Debates, cats and hoaxes

It was the first (and perhaps the last) debate between the two candidates for the White House: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and, for better or worse, the meeting will be remembered for one of the most incredible conspiracy theories ever heard on television.

Eating pets?

The Republican candidate claimed that in Springfield, Ohio, immigrants saying, "They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there," a claim that was met with sarcasm by Kamala Harris and quickly denied by the debate moderators.

And then the memes arrived

Another thing is X (Twitter), where these kinds of statements, whether true or not, give rise to a huge number of memes that, let's face it, give rise to a few laughs. Especially now, when AI works wonders.

The contribution of AI

That AI has and will have exceptional applications in the daily life of humanity is a fact. And that it is a wonderful tool for making memes is also a fact.

Conspiracy theory debunked

Even though the conspiracy theory has already been debunked, Trump supporters are determined to spread these images on social media.

Unexpected protagonists of the campaign

Pets supporting Trump is the viral trend of the moment. The problem? They don't vote. Well, at least not yet!

Roman Emperor

What no one saw coming was an attempt to turn Donald Trump into the standard-bearer of pet rights, even making comparisons to Roman emperors.

Kamala's Fried Cats

Let's face it, the KFC meme is among the top memes of this unexpected campaign.

Petco

It was a play on words that was there but it had to be done and you have to admit that it is impossible not to laugh at it.

Alf vibes

For the younger ones, Alf was the star of an NBC sitcom that bore his name and aired between 1986 and 1990. He lived with the Tanner family, came from the planet Melmac, and his favorite food... was cats!

Are you joking or are you serious?

The problem with social media is that you never know when someone is serious or joking.

Stigma for Haitians

The Haitian people have been labelled as pet eaters, although the rumour has already been disproven. However, this stigma will take time to disappear.

Trumpy the Cat

As we said, AI is wonderful.

Superpetman

Donald Trump's conversion into animal superheroes has been left incomplete by the denial of the hoax, but that does not stop his followers from continuing to launch memes on social media.

Underwater too?

Obviously, if they've turned Trump into a pet-protecting hero, why not go one step further and turn him into a mix of Poseidon and Aquaman.

AI is wonderful and very dangerous

And everyone knew at some point somebody would make a meme of Kamala Harris eating cats!

Duckcats or cat-paws?

AI is wonderful but also disturbing. Who thought up this bizarre combination?

But was this one really necessary?

Animal memes with messages on signs are always popular, but was this one really necessary?

And this one too

Whether it's dogs or cats, AI is working overtime to make so many memes.

The Simpsons already predicted it

Obviously, 'The Simpsons' couldn't be left out and, although those who haven't seen it may not believe it, this scene is from a real episode of the beloved animated show.

The meme that nobody expected

This 80s Donald Trump, halfway between Kenny G and Dieter Bohlen, was unheard of. He could have been the star of any 80s Latin soap opera.

Kamala Antoinette

Kamala a la Marie Antoinette was also too juicy an option not to take.

Run, Donald, Run

This presidential debate was perhaps one of the most entertaining in history and we have the memes to prove it!
