Former President Donald Trump trended on X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend. Trump is featured in viral memes showing him “saving” cats and ducks. The memes are the creation of “influencers” who claim Haitian immigrants are hunting and eating geese and ducks in Ohio and Alabama.
They also claim Haitians are eating household pets by snatching them out of backyards.
Still can’t get over this Haitian dude walking around with an entire goose like it’s a freshly prepared bag of Chic-fil-a.

Haitian immigrants have lived in the United States for decades. They have never been accused of hunting and eating geese and household pets before this election year.
Via Dailydot.com:
“The allegations arose over the weekend after right-wing users on social media discovered that a 27-year-old woman was charged last month with injuring animals. The woman, Canton resident Allexis Tella Ferrell, reportedly stomped on the cat’s head to kill the animal before eating it in a residential area in front of multiple people on Aug. 16.”
The story went viral on X.com, leading many to suggest that the woman’s behavior was linked to her Haitian heritage.
One person wrote: “Is this lady from Haiti? They do this crap down there. I’m hearing stories about cats and dogs being eaten thanks to illegals.”
Influencer Charlie Kirk pushed the lies on X.com. He claimed that Haitians were reportedly snatching people’s cats and eating them.
In response to the allegations, right-wing conservatives created memes of hero Trump saving cats and ducks from hungry Haitians.
One AI-generated meme shows Trump holding a cat and a duck under each arm while running from a mob of Black males.
The caption reads: “Save the cats! Save the ducks! Vote Donald Trump!”
Another meme shows a cat in front of a group of Haitians. The cat is holding a sign that reads “Vote for Trump.”
Elon Musk retweeted the post along with the caption, “Apparently, people’s pet cats are being eaten.”

If you like ducks or cats, Trump’s your only choice in November.
Otherwise, they’re dinner for Kamala’s illegal Haitians.
