VIEW IN BROWSER MSNBC DAILY Understand today's news Friday, Sep. 13, 2024 THE LATEST The harsh truth about Trump's pet-eating conspiracy theory By Alicia Menendez and Evan Brechtel This week's debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump gave Americans the starkest split-screen so far of the two wildly different people vying to lead their government.   While Harris focused on specific policy proposals rooted in verifiable numbers and hands-on experience, Trump, who usually relies on applause and lazy superlatives to sell his so-called vision to supporters, was clearly out of his depth.    So he did what many small men with large egos do: He picked an imaginary enemy to attack, a bogeyman he's been constructing since the first moments he officially got into politics in 2015 — immigrants.   This is a preview of Alicia Menendez and Evan Brechtel's latest article.
