In a morning filled with laughter and disbelief, the crew of MSNBC's Morning Joe couldn't contain their amusement over Donald Trump's outrageous statements during the presidential debate. Specifically, they found his claim about immigrants eating people's dogs to be barking-mad.

During Wednesday's episode, the show aired a montage that featured memorable moments from previous debates, such as Ronald Reagan's famous "there you go again" line and Lloyd Bentsen's sharp retort to Dan Quayle. However, the compilation took an unexpected turn when it ended with Trump's shocking statement: "In Springfield, they're eating the dogs! The people that came in, they're eating the cats!"

It became apparent that Trump was referring to a baseless and viral rumor that surfaced recently, alleging that Haitian migrants in Springfield were consuming pets and other animals, including ducks and geese. When ABC News moderator David Muir confronted Trump with city officials' denials of the rumors, the former president claimed to have witnessed individuals on television reporting their pets being taken and used as food.

Joe Scarborough, a co-host of Morning Joe, couldn't help but burst into laughter as he imitated Trump's accent and repeated his incredulous line: "They're eating their dawgs!" Scarborough went on to assert that Trump's performance in the debate had resulted in a massive loss for the Republican nominee. He wondered how Trump's supporters would react and suggested that they would likely double down on their falsehoods, ultimately harming his chances of success.

Willie Geist, another member of the Morning Joe crew, questioned the intended audience for Trump's outlandish claim. Geist noted that for ordinary Americans living their lives outside the dark corners of the internet, Trump's statements were completely nonsensical.

Scarborough further expressed his astonishment that the morning after a crucial presidential debate, they found themselves discussing such a bizarre issue. He argued that Trump had not only transformed the Republican Party but had also influenced entire cable news networks and his online community of supporters, forcing them to endorse such madness.

As the laughter subsided, it became evident that the Morning Joe crew believed Trump's outlandish statements would ultimately backfire, as the American people had clearly witnessed his rhetoric firsthand and would not be easily swayed by further attempts to distort the truth.

In conclusion, Trump's claim about immigrants eating dogs during the debate left the Morning Joe team in hysterics. They expressed skepticism and amusement over his bizarre statements and expressed concern about the influence of such falsehoods on Trump's electoral prospects.
