NEWS YOU CAN USE: ‘Don’t eat cats and dogs,’ Biden tells voters while wearing Trump hat.
Joe Biden donned a Trump baseball cap and told a crowd of people “not to eat dogs and cats” during a light-hearted exchange on the campaign trail.
The US president was referring to wild claims repeated by Donald Trump during his debate with Kamala Harris on Tuesday that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are “eating the pets of the people that live there”.
Mr Biden was initially persuaded to wear his former opponent’s hat by a Trump supporter after a humorous back-and-forth between the two men.
It started off by Mr Biden offering to give his presidential hat to the Trump supporter, who asked him: “Are you going to autograph it?” Mr Biden said he would autograph the hat before the Trump supporter quipped: “Do you remember your name?”
The president joked back that he “doesn’t remember my name” because he’s “slow”, which sparked laughter among the crowd.
He doesn’t remember who is boss is as well, apparently.

UPDATE: “Ohio is sending troopers and $2.5 million to city where many Haitian migrants have relocated,” according to those crazed MAGA-hat wearing nuts at, err, PBS.
