SCOTTISH comedian Janey Godley has poked fun at Donald Trump following his disastrous performance in a TV debate ahead of the US election.
The former president went head-to-head with Kamala Harris on a range of issues, with the Democratic nominee often looking on in disbelief.
At one point, Trump made the false claim that immigrants in Ohio are abducting pets and eating them.

“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. The people that came in. They’re eating the cats,” Trump said.
“They’re eating – 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.”
There is no evidence immigrants in Ohio are abducting and eating pets with the presenter stopping Trump to say there had been no “credible reports” of this happening.

Trump interrupted to say he had saw it “on television”.
Godley, who regularly takes aim at Trump on Twitter/X, posted her own voiceover giving her take on his comments.
“They’re absolutely eating cats and dugs. It’s all over Facebook. Big Margaret, she had it up and she says there’s people eating cats and dugs,” Godley’s voiceover said.
“Everybody sees it. It’s all over the news and I don’t know why you’re lying about it.”
Many in the comments section were delighted by Godley’s latest video, with one saying it was “another great voiceover”.
“Did he say that out loud,” said a second person left in disbelief at Trump’s comments.
Many people simply commented with several laughing emojis.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
