The Mirror’s US editor Christopher Bucktin reports on the best of the most bizarre it-could-only-happen-in-the-USA stories in his The Buck Stops Here column. This week, Donnie gets caught out bragging about his packed rally in Reading, Pennsylvania
DONALD Trump’s latest brag about his crowd size deflated faster than a lousy soufflé this week as he was fact-checked mid-speech, live and in real-time.
“We do these incredible, beautiful rallies, the best rallies,” the former president declared in Reading, Pennsylvania. “We never have an empty seat, never. Just look at it.”

Cops in Washington’s Kitsap County frequently get calls about loose livestock and problem dogs.
But they received a very different animal-related call recently – from a woman being forced to flee her home because racoons drove her out.
She admitted to deputies she had started feeding a family of the critters decades ago.
That was all fine until six weeks earlier, when the number of hungry masked critters showing up went from a handful to around 100.
