J.D. Vance responds to wild claims migrants are 'eating pets' in Ohio as Trump supporters use AI to say he will save kittens and ducks

Daily Mail  

Donald Trump's supporters are using AI to generate images of the ex-president snuggling cute kittens and darling ducks in a new baffling trend. An AI-generated image shows a fictitious Donald Trump acting as a guardian to a cat and duck after reports emerged indicating the two species were being eaten by migrants in Ohio. Another AI-generated image shows Trump holding a cat and a duck at a campaign rally Another AI image shows the former president wielding a sword and armor behind his animal friends Another picture shows Trump rescuing a chubby cat from a fire 'Cats lives matter. 'Today’s finds in a certain political corner of X: memes of Trump saving cats and ducks from Haitian migrants,' conservative commentator Marina Medvin posted on X. One image did not go to plan and showed duck-like animals with cat-like heads One user even generated a cat wearing a MAGA hat 'I asked AI to make a picture of Trump saving the kittens and ducks and this is what I got,' a user posted alongside an image showing duck-like animals with the heads of cats.'
