The Simpsons fans say show predicted Trump's 'dog-eating' claim about Springfield
A stream of The Simpsons memes erupted on social media in response to the presidential debate on Tuesday - specifically after Trump's unfounded claim that gave a shout-out to Springfield.
Citing the television and baseless social media rumors, Trump alleged that Haitian immigrants residing in Springfield, Ohio, were kidnapping dogs and cats - and then eating them.
The outlandish comment happened within just 30 minutes of the debate, sparking not only concern for the widespread issue of misinformation, but jokes relating to the longest-running animation series in history - The Simpsons.
While also being a city in Ohio, the show's fictional location also has the same name.
In his first presidential debate with Kamala Harris, Trump said: 'In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that come in. They're eating the cats.
'They're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame'.
