Why would Trump make conspiracy claims that Haitians are eating pets in Ohio?

Trump is into Border protection so either he was very quick to believe it or he knew it would be a media attention grabber/free publicity and everyone would be talking about the bad outcome in that town whether or not pets get eaten.
I think it is like the Marine Rapper’s version of They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats.
Someone’s cat went missing and they blamed the Haitians (the key issue is that things are going poorly in the town leading to tension) and it got publicised so Trump saw it. Then the cat came back. Haitians culturally do eat cats and dogs and use them for voodoo so that is another thing kicking the conversation along (in addition to memes and great tunes).
