Carlo Ancelotti's Everton can become "the next proper challenger" to Liverpool in the Premier League, says Reds manager Jurgen Klopp.
The Toffees top the table with four wins from four under the Italian, who was appointed last December.
They host champions Liverpool in the Merseyside derby on Saturday.
"What I think about Carlo Ancelloti was never a secret. I couldn't respect him more. He's a wonderful human being," Klopp told BBC Football Focus.
"When I heard he was going to sign for Everton I thought 'Uhhh, the next proper challenger in line'.
"They did the perfect business in the summer. They found exactly the players that they needed to improve an already pretty good football team.
"Together, getting more used to what Carlo wants them to do makes them a pretty strong team."
Ancelotti succeeded Marco Silva as Everton boss, having won league titles in Italy, Germany, France and England, with Chelsea in 2009-10. He also has three Champions Leagues to his name as a manager.
Everton, 12th in the Premier League last season, have not finished higher than seventh since 2013-14.
After strengthening their midfield this summer with the signings of James Rodriguez, Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure, they have a 100% record from seven games in all competitions this season.
They have scored 24 goals, with newly capped 23-year-old England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin netting nine of them, including two hat-tricks.
Klopp said: "Calvert-Lewin, I really expected him to make big steps in the next few years and he did," said Klopp.
"He has everything you need in a top striker: size, mobility, speed, desire, technically really, really good, in the air, finishing with his head, both feet.
"And now it all works together - both wings have top-class players with James and Richarlison. Midfield, Allan plus whoever plays there, if it's Sigurddson or whoever.

Harry Maguire: Manchester United defender will bounce back from England red card, says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire will `` bounce back '' from his recent poor spell of form and England red card , says manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer .
He could miss Saturday 's Premier League game at Newcastle after Solskjaer said he picked up a knock against Denmark .
`` Harry 's got great resilience .
I know he 'll bounce back , '' said Solskjaer .
`` I know that he wants to play , he wants to just work his way out of the last couple of games that he 's been criticised [ for ] .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he came off , so I 'm just hopeful he 'll be fit .
We 've had a look at him yesterday and give him a test again today . ''
He added : `` When Harry is part of the England team that beats number-one ranked Belgium , that 's just a normal day , and then you get the headlines when you get the sending off .
That 's just football for you .
`` There 's so many ups and downs that we have got to deal with it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Solskjaer also said he will not allow the club 's critics to create division at the Old Trafford club .
United fell to a 6-1 home defeat by Tottenham in their last game before the international break .
Since then stories have emerged about a potential attempt to lure Mauricio Pochettino to the club as manager , as well as claims of a fall-out between Solskjaer and key midfielder Bruno Fernandes .
Fernandes has rejected these claims and Solskjaer feels it is part of a wider attempt to undermine the club .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you have to get over as soon as you can and move on , '' Solskjaer said .
`` We know any little chance from outside ... you want to create a division .
`` I think Bruno spoke really well the other day about how we are united , we have to stay together .
We ca n't listen to everyone outside .
We 've got to just get on with it .
`` Bruno 's now lost two league games since he came to the club and he came in February @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quick succession .
`` So , he 's not used to losing league games for us but now , Bruno , welcome to Manchester United - this is what happens when you lost a couple , they 're going to try to create a division between us .
`` But that 's not going to happen because this group is a group that wants to work hard together , stick together . ''

Maguire was sent off during England's defeat by Denmark
Manchester United captain Harry Maguire will "bounce back" from his recent poor spell of form and England red card, says manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The centre-back, 27, was sent off against Denmark on Wednesday, capping a troublesome couple of months following his arrest in Greece during pre-season.
He could miss Saturday's Premier League game at Newcastle after Solskjaer said he picked up a knock against Denmark.
"Harry's got great resilience. I know he'll bounce back," said Solskjaer.
"I know that he wants to play, he wants to just work his way out of the last couple of games that he's been criticised [for].
"He is adamant he is ready to play. He is a lad who doesn't want to hide behind a red card or a bad performance, he wants to go out there and prove himself.
"I don't doubt his resilience in that respect. He is very professional so he wants to put himself ready for selection and then it's up to me to choose him or not and if I want to take him out the firing line.
"He picked up a knock just before he came off, so I'm just hopeful he'll be fit. We've had a look at him yesterday and give him a test again today."
He added: "When Harry is part of the England team that beats number-one ranked Belgium, that's just a normal day, and then you get the headlines when you get the sending off. That's just football for you.
"There's so many ups and downs that we have got to deal with it, individually and as a group."
Solskjaer also said he will not allow the club's critics to create division at the Old Trafford club.
United fell to a 6-1 home defeat by Tottenham in their last game before the international break. Since then stories have emerged about a potential attempt to lure Mauricio Pochettino to the club as manager, as well as claims of a fall-out between Solskjaer and key midfielder Bruno Fernandes.
Fernandes has rejected these claims and Solskjaer feels it is part of a wider attempt to undermine the club.
"It's one of those things that you have to get over as soon as you can and move on," Solskjaer said. "We know any little chance from outside... you want to create a division.
"I think Bruno spoke really well the other day about how we are united, we have to stay together. We can't listen to everyone outside. We've got to just get on with it.
"Bruno's now lost two league games since he came to the club and he came in February, but it's been two in quick succession.
"So, he's not used to losing league games for us but now, Bruno, welcome to Manchester United - this is what happens when you lost a couple, they're going to try to create a division between us.
"But that's not going to happen because this group is a group that wants to work hard together, stick together."

bbc--2020-10-16--'It was me or him' - Ex-Liverpool youth player admits injuring team-mate in bid for first team

Former Liverpool youth team player Tom Brewitt has admitted he once injured a team-mate on purpose in a bid to win a first-team place .
Brewitt believed it was `` written in the stars '' for him to make his debut but faced competition from Daniel Cleary .
`` Whatever it took to do it , I was going to do it , '' said Brewitt , 23 .
Speaking to the Football Journeys Podcast , the Liverpool academy product - who was released by Morecambe in the summer - added : `` If that meant hurting someone or ruining @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to do it .

`` I took the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so I went after him in training , '' Brewitt said .
`` Before Christmas and the time between Christmas and New Year , I put myself next to him in possession games , I put myself next to him in games , and I just kicked him .

Brewitt went on to play for AFC Fylde and Morecambe before being released in the summer
Former Liverpool youth team player Tom Brewitt has admitted he once injured a team-mate on purpose in a bid to win a first-team place.
During the 2015-16 season - Jurgen Klopp's first at Anfield - several of Liverpool's centre-backs were injured before an FA Cup tie against Exeter.

US election 2020: Fact-checking Trump and Biden on the campaign trail Published 16 October 2020
Image source, Reuters Image caption, Mr Trump took part in an event in Miami
Presidential Trump and Democratic rival for the White House, Joe Biden took part in separate town hall events taking questions from a moderator and members of the public.
We've fact-checked some of their claims.
Trump: "Just the other day, they came out with a statement that 85% of the people that wear masks catch it."
Verdict: We can find no evidence to support this claim.
The president may have been referring to a study by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that found adults with Covid-19 were more than twice as likely to have reported eating at a restaurant before getting ill, compared to those without the disease.
The study found that 85% of the 150 respondents with coronavirus said they had always or often wore a mask in the two weeks before getting ill.
So the president misinterprets this - it does not show that 85% of people that wear masks in general, catch coronavirus.
The CDC has said: "The interpretation that more mask-wearers are getting infected compared to non-mask wearers is incorrect."
Image source, Reuters Image caption, Joe Biden was grilled over his plans for the Supreme Court
Biden: "They have more people there now, by the way, than when we left in Afghanistan."
Verdict: That's not right. There are fewer US personnel in Afghanistan now than when Mr Obama left office.
President Trump has long called for troops to be brought home from operations abroad and has criticised US military interventions for being costly and ineffective.
At the end of the Obama administration, there were 9,294 active troops in Afghanistan and a total of 12,966 personnel if reserve and civilian numbers are also included, according to the US Department of Defense.
Mr Trump did order a further 3,000 personnel into Afghanistan in 2017, however since then numbers have been substantially reduced.
Earlier this month, national security adviser Robert O'Brien said the US had less than 5,000 troops in Afghanistan.
Trump: "We've given you the greatest tax cut in the history of our country."
Verdict: That's not right for tax cuts in general - previous ones have been larger. It is right for corporation tax.
We investigated this claim in 2018 shortly after Congress passed sweeping tax reform legislation. According to tax specialists, the cuts were big but not the biggest.
The Committee for a Responsible Budget looked at the numbers and reported that President Trump's tax cuts would be the eighth-largest in US history, compared to the overall size of the economy.
If you adjust the analysis for inflation, President Trump's tax cuts rank fourth overall.
However tax experts also assessed Mr Trump's cut in corporation tax from 35% to 21%. Most said in absolute terms it was the biggest corporate tax cut in history.
Biden: "There were 44 people [health experts working for the US] on the ground [in China]...All those 44 people came home, never got replaced."
Verdict: The number of personnel working at the CDC office in China has fallen under President Trump, but Mr Biden's figures aren't right.
The United States has had a Centres for Disease Control (CDC) office in China for decades. The CDC is the top government body responsible for protecting public health.
Mr Biden is suggesting here that prior to the start of the coronavirus outbreak in China, the CDC office had been significantly depleted.
The overall number of CDC staff in China has come down significantly in recent years, but Mr Biden is not correct that they all left.
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Coronavirus was first identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan towards the end of 2019
The CDC website says that as of March this year there were 14 staff in total working in China - three from the US and 11 employed locally.
That's down from 47 CDC staff a year earlier, eight of whom were US employees and 39 of whom were locally recruited.
Health Secretary Alex Azar told journalists in late January that the US had offered on 6 January to send a team from the CDC - an offer that was repeated later that month and in February.
Two US experts did get into China as part of a multinational delegation from the World Health Organization, which went in mid-February.
Trump: "GDP is going through the roof."
Verdict: The latest numbers show a record fall in GDP during the pandemic. However the next set of figures, due out at the end of October, are expected to show a record increase.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the value of goods and services in the economy - and it's used to measure the size and health of a country's economy.
In the second quarter of 2020 - the latest available data accounting for April, May and June - the economy contracted by over 30%. That's more than the previous record 10% fall in 1958.
However, the figures for July, August and September - which are due out at the end of this month - are expected to show record growth but not enough to regain the losses during the pandemic so far.
Prior to the pandemic, during President Trump's first three years in office, Mr Trump oversaw an annual average growth of 2.5%.
The last three years of the Obama administration saw a similar level of growth (2.3%).
Biden: "My deal is a crucial framework, but not the New Green Deal. The New Green Deal calls for elimination of all non-renewable energy by 2030."
Verdict: The plan does not call for the elimination of fossil fuels by 2030.
The Green New Deal (GND) (not the "New Green Deal") is a plan put forward by Democrats on the progressive wing of the party.
Mr Biden is wrong in saying that the GND calls for the elimination of non-renewable energy sources by 2030. It actually calls for net-zero emissions by that date - which is quite different.
'Net zero' means greenhouse gas emissions are balanced by absorbing an equivalent amount from the atmosphere by, for example, by preserving forests and promoting renewable energy sources.
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, The Green New Deal calls for an expansion of renewable energy sources such as solar power
The GND resolution says "it is the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions."

A teacher has been beheaded in a north-western suburb of Paris, with the attacker shot dead by police.
The victim is said to have shown controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to his students.
The attack occurred at about 17:00 local time (15:00 GMT) near a school. Anti-terror prosecutors are investigating.
French President Emmanuel Macron visited the scene, calling the killing an "Islamist terrorist attack".
Mr Macron said he was murdered because he "taught freedom of expression". The victim has not been named.
The knife-wielding attacker was shot as officers tried to arrest him in the aftermath of the attack. Police have not released any personal details about him.
A trial is currently under way in Paris over a 2015 Islamist assault on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which was targeted for publishing the cartoons.
Three weeks ago, a man attacked and wounded two people outside the magazine's former offices.
What do we know about what happened?
A man wielding a large knife attacked the teacher in a street in an area called Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, cutting off his head. The attacker then ran off, but local police alerted by the public were quickly at the scene.
The officers confronted the man in the nearby area of Éragny.
When they shouted at him to give himself up, he is said to have threatened them. The officers shot him and he died a short time later.

If this motive for the killing is substantiated, it will be deeply shocking to the French, says the BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris. They will see it as not just a brutal attack, he says, but a brutal attack on a teacher for carrying out his duty to explain.
France has seen a wave of Islamist violence since the 2015 attack on Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead, including famous cartoonists.
How is France reacting?
In the National Assembly, France's parliament, deputies stood up to honour the teacher killed on Friday and condemn the "atrocious terror attack".

Hunter Biden: What was he doing in China and Ukraine? Published 6 April 2021
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Vice-President Biden in 2016 with his son Hunter looking on
Hunter Biden, second son of US President Joe Biden, is being investigated by the Justice Department over his finances including, according to US media reports, some of his business dealings in China.
During the 2020 election campaign, he and his father were frequently accused by Donald Trump and his associates of wrongdoing in regards to China and Ukraine, allegations which they both denied.
The New York Post reported on an alleged email in which an adviser from a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, apparently thanked Hunter for inviting him to meet his father, Joe Biden.
Asked about the allegations, Joe Biden told a reporter it was a "smear campaign". No criminal activity has been proven, and no evidence has emerged that Mr Biden did anything to intentionally benefit his son.
In an interview with the BBC months after his father was sworn in as president, Hunter Biden defended his qualifications for the position at Burisma but added that, in retrospect, he had "missed... the perception that I would create".
Claims of influence-peddling are common in Washington DC and Mr Trump's children have also been accused of conflicts of interest in lucrative business deals overseas. They, too, deny wrongdoing.
What do we know about the federal investigation?
The Justice Department is investigating Hunter Biden's finances including scrutinising some of his past Chinese business dealings and other transactions, a "person familiar with the matter" told The Associated Press in December.
The tax investigation was launched in 2018 but Hunter Biden said he had learned about it for the first time in December 2020.
Asked about the investigation by US broadcaster CBS this April, the president's son said: "I'm co-operating, completely. And I'm absolutely certain, 100% certain, that at the end of the investigation, that I will be cleared of any wrongdoing."
What have the Bidens been accused of in China?
The New York Post cited a purported email from Hunter Biden in August 2017 indicating he was receiving a $10m annual fee from a Chinese billionaire for "introductions alone", though it is unclear who was involved in the alleged introductions.
Another purported email, which Fox News said it had confirmed, reportedly refers to a deal pursued by Hunter involving China's largest private energy firm. It is said to include a cryptic mention of "10 held by H for the big guy".
Fox News cited unnamed sources as saying "the big guy" in the purported email was a reference to Joe Biden. This message is said to be from May 2017. Both emails would date from when the former US vice-president was a private citizen.
A former business associate of Hunter Biden has come forward to say he can confirm the allegations.
Tony Bobulinski told Fox News that, contrary to Joe Biden's statements that he had nothing to do with his son's business affairs, Hunter had "frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals" in China.
Mr Bobulinski, who is reportedly a US Navy veteran, separately told Fox News' Tucker Carlson that he had met on two occasions with Joe Biden to discuss business deals with China, the first time in May 2017 when Barack Obama's former vice-president was a private citizen.
He says he asked Joe Biden's brother, James, whether the family was concerned about possible scrutiny of the former vice-president's involvement in a potential business deal with a Chinese entity. Mr Bobulinski told Fox News that James Biden had replied: "Plausible deniability."
Mr Bobulinski was invited by Mr Trump to be his guest at the final presidential debate in Nashville, Tennessee on 22 October.
What is known about Hunter's dealings in China?
In 2013, Hunter flew aboard Air Force Two with his father, who was then vice-president, on an official visit to Beijing, where the younger Biden met investment banker Jonathan Li.
Hunter told the New Yorker he had just met Mr Li for "a cup of coffee", but 12 days after the trip a private equity fund, BHR Partners, was approved by the Chinese authorities. Mr Li was chief executive and Hunter was a board member. He would hold a 10% stake.

BHR is backed by some of China's largest state banks and by local governments, according to US media.
Hunter Biden's lawyer said he had joined the board in an unpaid position "based on his interest in seeking ways to bring Chinese capital to international markets".
His lawyer also said his client did not acquire his financial stake in BHR until 2017, after his father had left office in the US.
Hunter resigned from the board of BHR in April 2020, but still held his 10% stake in BHR as of July this year, according to the company report.
What did the New York Post say about Hunter Biden and Ukraine?
The New York Post reported an email from April 2015, in which an adviser to Burisma, Vadym Pozharskyi, apparently thanked Hunter Biden for inviting him to meet his father in Washington.
Hunter was a director on the board of Burisma - a Ukrainian-owned private energy company while his father was the Obama administration's pointman on US-Ukrainian relations. Hunter was one of several foreigners on its board.
The New York Post article did not provide evidence that the meeting had ever taken place. The Biden election campaign said there was no record of any such meeting on the former vice-president's "official schedule" from the time.
But in a statement to Politico, the campaign also acknowledged that Mr Biden could have had an "informal interaction" with the Burisma adviser that did not appear on his official schedule, though it said any such encounter would have been "cursory".
"Investigations by the press, during impeachment, and even by two Republican-led Senate committees whose work was decried as 'not legitimate' and political by a GOP colleague, have all reached the same conclusion: that Joe Biden carried out official US policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing," said Andrew Bates, a spokesman for Mr Biden.

Mr Biden's team has also decried the New York Post story as "Russian disinformation", though it did not say the emails were bogus.
The New York Post article was shared by President Trump and his allies. Two of his former advisers, Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani, were involved in providing the story and the hard drive containing the alleged emails, to the newspaper.
Mr Giuliani says the messages were found on a laptop that Hunter dropped off at a Delaware repair shop in April 2019.
Sceptics have noted that Mr Giuliani travelled in December 2019 to Kyiv where he met Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Derkach, whom the US Treasury has designated as a longtime Kremlin agent. Mr Giuliani has acknowledged trying dig up dirt on the Bidens in Ukraine.
But the US Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, told Fox Business that the purported emails were not connected to a Russian disinformation effort.
Other US media say they have been unable to verify the authenticity of the emails. Hunter has neither confirmed nor denied that he dropped off a laptop at the location.
Hunter joined Burisma in 2014, and remained on the board until April 2019, when he decided to leave.
Speaking to the BBC, he said Burisma had seen his name "as gold" and that it had played a large part in his appointment to the board.
What are the Bidens accused of in Ukraine?
Donald Trump and his allies accused Joe Biden of wrongdoing because he had pushed, while vice-president, for the Ukrainian government to fire its top prosecutor, who was investigating the company for which Hunter worked.
In 2016, Joe Biden called for the dismissal of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, whose office had Burisma and other companies under investigation.
However, other Western leaders and major bodies that give financial support to Ukraine also wanted the prosecutor dismissed because they believed he was not active enough in tackling corruption.
What else has the Biden campaign said?
Shortly before the final presidential debate last year, the Democrat's camp released a statement denying wrongdoing.
"Joe Biden has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever," said the statement.
"He has never held stock in any such business arrangements nor has any family member or any other person ever held stock for him.
"What is true is that Tony Bobulinski admitted on the record to Breitbart that he is angry that he was *not* able to go into business with Hunter and James Biden [Joe Biden's brother]."
What did this have to do with impeachment?
In 2019, details emerged of a phone call Mr Trump, the then president, had made to the president of Ukraine, in which he had urged the Ukrainian leader to investigate the Bidens.
This led to charges by the Democrats that Mr Trump was trying to illegally pressure Ukraine to help damage his election rival, resulting in impeachment by the House of Representatives.
Mr Trump denied he had done anything wrong, and he was later acquitted by the Republican-controlled US Senate.

Has anything been proven against the Bidens?
While no criminal activity has been proven, it has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest.
A senior State Department official raised such concerns as far back as 2015.
US Republican lawmakers launched an investigation and found last year that Hunter's work for the Ukrainian firm had been "problematic" - but there wasn't evidence that US foreign policy was influenced by it.
No criminal charges were proven against Burisma either. The company issued a statement in 2017 saying "all legal proceedings and pending criminal allegations" against it were closed.
Last year, Yuriy Lutsenko, the prosecutor in Ukraine who succeeded Viktor Shokin, told the BBC that there was no reason to investigate the Bidens under Ukrainian law.
There is nothing illegal about sitting on a board of a company whilst family members serve in government.
Hunter Biden's lawyers said in statement in October 2019 that he had undertaken "these business activities independently. He did not believe it appropriate to discuss them with his father, nor did he."
Hunter told the New Yorker magazine that on the only occasion he had mentioned Burisma: "Dad said, 'I hope you know what you are doing.'"

bbc--2020-10-16--US election 2020: 'Rigged' votes, body doubles and other false claims

In the final weeks of the US election campaign all manner of false and misleading things are being shared on social media .
Here are some of the most recent - and false - claims .
The Trump campaign has often claimed , without evidence , that increased postal voting ( `` mail-in '' is the American term ) due to the pandemic will lead to tremendous fraud .
Last week , President Trump suggested 50,000 people in Ohio getting erroneous absentee ballots was evidence of a `` rigged election '' .
He repeated the example at a town-hall event @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it to him that the director of the FBI says there is no evidence of widespread fraud .
The elections board in Franklin County , Ohio , said the ballot error was a `` serious mistake '' but in its response to the president 's tweet , it added : `` Our board is bipartisan and our elections are fair .
And every vote will be counted . ''
The error came through a technology malfunction - a high-speed scanner stopped working - that meant a chunk of more than 250,000 absentee ballots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in their state , sent out were inaccurate .
Everyone affected now has the correct voter slip , the elections boards said , and there are various safeguards in place to make sure no one votes twice .
In September , pictures of ballot envelopes in California were shared thousands of times on Facebook along with further unsubstantiated claims of `` vote rigging '' .
The official County of Sonoma Facebook page published a statement addressing the claims .
`` The pictures are of old empty envelopes from the November 2018 election that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , '' they said .
The county 's ballots for this year 's presidential election had not yet been sent out to voters when the pictures were shared .
Numerous national and state-level studies show that voter fraud is incredibly rare in the US .
There have been isolated cases of postal-ballot fraud and the FBI is currently investigating a case of nine military ballots that were discarded in Pennsylvania .
But Ellen Weintraub , commissioner of the Federal Election Commission , which oversees campaign spending laws , has said : `` There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ theory that voting by mail causes fraud . ''
Misleading videos and adverts vilifying opponents , spinning facts and exaggerating the truth are of course common during election campaigns - and this one has been no different .
Donald Trump Jr posted a video featuring an interview with Joe Biden replying affirmatively - using the word `` bingo '' - when asked about gun control .
But the actual question was not about a wholesale ban on guns , but rather on one specific type - assault weapons .
Mr Biden does indeed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sale of those high-powered weapons , and proposes that owners will either be able to sell them back to the government or register them .
The clip and Mr Trump Jr 's tweet dropped any such nuance , however .
A Democratic Party-supporting Twitter account published its own video on the issue .
Referring to the president 's supporters , it claimed : `` Hey MAGA , Trump is coming for your guns '' .
Attached was a clip from a press conference in which the president says : `` Take the firearms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But here the president was referring to a policy of removing weapons from the hands of potentially dangerous people .
Misleadingly edited videos have been a recurring feature of the campaign .
This week , a Trump campaign ad was edited to make it look like Dr Anthony Fauci , one of the leaders of the White House coronavirus task force , was praising the president .
In reality , Dr Fauci was talking about his own response to the pandemic .
We 've also seen campaign adverts on Facebook push inaccurate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the president called coronavirus a `` hoax '' .
An ad seen a few hundred thousand times on Facebook this week and promoted by `` Color Of Change PAC '' - a `` political action committee '' separate from the political parties - includes the false claim .
While he has at times made wildly unscientific statements , President Trump did not directly call coronavirus a hoax .
The rumour seems to stem from a speech he gave earlier in the year , in which he called the Democratic Party 's reaction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their new hoax '' .
Following the first presidential debate , the Trump campaign posted ads promoting a false claim that Joe Biden wore an earpiece .
Further ads falsely claimed Mr Biden had been using a teleprompter in TV interviews .
Tweets generating thousands of shares in recent days promoted a bizarre conspiracy theory , claiming to reveal secret information about the capture and death of Osama Bin Laden - an idea that was amplified by the president himself .
An article reporting these unfounded claims eventually entered the mainstream conversation after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whistleblower '' in the story claims to have information to prove that a `` body double '' of Osama Bin Laden was killed by American troops in Pakistan , rather than the real Al Qaeda leader .
The article went even further , with the interviewee accusing Joe Biden of orchestrating a cover-up and the shooting down of a US helicopter in Afghanistan in 2011 .
They provided no evidence to support the claims .
The accusations prompted fury from a member of the elite Navy Seal unit who took part in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , telling CNN it was `` trampling on the graves of some of the best heroes I have ever personally worked with '' .
The author of the article retweeted by the president admitted on Twitter : `` I have no proof that the Whistleblower 's claims are true . ''
At Thursday 's town-hall event the president was asked about his decision to retweet the dubious article , and responded : `` I 'll put it out there - people can decide for themselves . ''
Mr Trump has promoted conspiracy theories @ @ @ @ @ @ @ subject of some when he caught coronavirus .
One particularly far-fetched theory shared on Facebook and Reddit this week claimed that Mr Trump has been replaced by a clone .
A collage of images entitled `` The real Donald Trump never left hospital '' contrasted photos of Donald Trump before and after his stay in hospital , labelling him a `` new-born clone '' .
Though some people clearly shared the post as a joke , other comments suggested the idea was taken seriously by some .
The president has been seen in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hospital , and there is no evidence to support the wild theory .
This is n't the first time a sitting president has been accused of being replaced by a clone during an election campaign .
In 2018 a viral rumour that Nigeria 's President Buhari had been replaced by a body double became so widespread that the president himself responded , saying : `` It 's the real me , I assure you '' .

But the actual question was not about a wholesale ban on guns, but rather on one specific type - assault weapons. Mr Biden does indeed support a ban on the manufacture and sale of those high-powered weapons, and proposes that owners will either be able to sell them back to the government or register them.
