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.”

Well, about that… While the hardcore MAGA fans near the stage were packed in like sardines, some folks due in the back clearly missed the memo.

Empty seats were scattered throughout the venue like forgotten New Year’s resolutions, and social media wasted no time providing the photographic evidence. As much as Trump thinks he’s one down from God with a church bigger than Jesus, it seems that when it comes to seating, his Christ-like popularity is simply fake pews.

A drunk Ohio dad who tried to teach his nine-year-old son how to drive ended up illustrating why young children are not allowed behind the wheel.
Clejuan Williams, 36, told the boy to tap the brakes as he backed out of their driveway in Toledo, Ohio.
But the boy, not knowing which pedal was which, hit the accelerator and the car zoomed backwards. Williams Sr, allegedly drunk, was dragged under it and ended up in hospital.

Love is in the air on the Colorado plains – the kind that makes your heart beat a bit faster, quickens your step and makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Yes, spider lovers are scurrying to a Colorado town in search of mating tarantulas.

Why stretch with cute little animals when you can unwind with a snake slithering up your spine?
Enter LXRYOGA, in Costa Mesa, California, that’s taking “feeling the stretch” to a whole new level – introducing snake yoga, the hottest new trend for people who have apparently decided that life isn’t terrifying enough as it is.

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.

Montana rancher Arthur Schubarth has been jailed for creating a super-sheep using parts of protected wildlife.
He illegally harvested tissue from a huge Marco Polo argali sheep from central Asia, sent it to a lab to be cloned and bred the resulting ram with ordinary ewes. Schubarth got six months, and there’s no point in him bleating about it.
