Trump claims Kamala Harris rally crowd is FAKE as he posts 'AI doctored photo' - but all is not as it seems

Former President Donald Trump has claimed his opponent Kamala Harris is faking the size of her rally, as he posted what he called an 'AI doctored photo' - even though there is no evidence that the photo was manipulated.

At issue is an image that emerged from a Harris-Walz rally at the Detroit Metro Airport on Wednesday that shows a large crowd standing in front of Air Force Two - the official airplane of the vicepresident.

Right-wingers have wrongfully alleged that inconsistencies in the news photo reveal that it was digitally manipulated - pointing to a lack of a reflection on the plane's turbine.

Right-wingers have wrongfully alleged that inconsistencies in the news photo reveal that it was digitally manipulated - pointing to a lack of a reflection on the plane's turbine.

But the size of the crowd could easily be proven by videos of the event.

Still, Trump seized on the issue on Sunday, claiming on his Truth Social platform that Harris 'AI'd it.'

'Has anyone noticed that Kamala CHEATED at the airport?' he wrote. 'There was nobody at the plane, and she "AI'd" it, and showed a massive "crowd" of so-caled followers, BUT THEY DIDN'T EXIST!'

'She's a CHEATER. She had NOBODY waiting and the "crowd" looks like 10,000 people!' he continued. 'Same thing is happening with her fake "crowds ..

According to some people, Trump supporters are supposed to ignore the lies from Democrats in order not to upset the media or the David French and Jen Rubin’s of the party. Just in the past few days, I can count 3 or 4 issues we aren’t supposed to mention. It’s another one of those “take the high road” elections. One more “high road” election and we are going to be destroyed by enemy fire.

The tarmac photo has more problems than just the lack of reflection of the “crowd”. It has people with two thumbs on one hand and other people with three arms. There is a guy about 3 foot taller than the other people and I swear JFK and Marilyn Monroe are in attendance.

The lies need to be called out. If they will try to perpetuate that lie on the people, what else will they lie about? Everything of course. If we draw attention to the fake picture, it might catch the attention of young techies who will then look for other lies being told. Every mind pierced with a bit of truth is a potential new voter for Trump.

Seriously? You just got done telling me “when you get called out, you go into attack mode”. And then you go into attack mode when I call you out on your petty spelling insults
**************************
Seriously? You’re funny. Or not too smart. You’re so flustered you can’t even hurl your juvenile insults at the proper people. LOL. Show me where I said the above stuff and I will donate $1000 to your favorite charity. And I showed where you were proved wrong. The polls are the proof that this nonsense is not working.

Explain this. Why the need for an id if it’s all AI? Doesn’t make sense.

I hate these ‘crowd size’ and deep fake wars. Obviously both candidates are going to be able to fill decent sized arenas now, although the Trump ones have obviously been a lot bigger and more sincere.

I’m more into noticing how the crowd at the Harris ones can barely get a ‘USA’ chant out and sound pained doing it. I’m more interested in how Harris isn’t doing any interviews whatsoever. All this sideshow about crowds and pictures is annoying. Biden basically had no rallies at all or did interviews much and it didn’t really hurt him.

The vote blue no matter who types don’t care about that stuff. All they care about is ‘joy’ and abortion.

Yes I think that metal plate in her head is picking up too much noise and she’s going crazy. Now Joe sixpack, I think is just a mean, nasty, hateful , unhappy person.

Great point. That announcement was in the Arizona paper about the email RSVP and then to bring same ID as reservation name to get in. It was all legit and real people, I watched minutes of each stream live and the crowds were all real. Some folks are just nut’s nowadays.

I haven’t been able to identify why no number.
All other photos I’ve found of AF2 show a tail number.
The video below does show the seal of the VP.
I am looking to see if the USAF tail number is removed when the visit is strictly for a political campaign.
So far, no luck

For purposes of this discussion, it doesn’t matter...this is legit.

Since where are crowds allowed on runways with deplaning officials coming off?

Here’s a pic from June when Harris went to Salt Lake, 2nd pic down, no tail number. I don’t understand it either but she’s been using that plane with no number for awhile.

They are not on the runway and they are at least a hundred feet or more from that plane.

thanks for that. It’s noted that she and her husband are there for a private fund-raiser...
Some numbers are not necessarily on the tail.
Some can be on the fuselage and some can be on a rear engine, of which there is neither in this case.
I’ll keep digging. I suppose I could contact the USAF...

Trump doesn’t decide what story the media pursues. He could talk about the border or immigration until the cows come home but if he holds a glass of water with 2 hands, the story becomes “Trump is Sick, Not Up to Being POTUS!” The media will never mention his policies unless he says something they can turn into a campaign issue.

It’s up to his supporters, which you claim to be, who need to make sure ppl know the great plans he has for the country, through either face-to-face interaction or on social media. Instead of posting here ad nauseum about Trump’s mistakes and how he’s not gonna win, get out and do your part to help him get elected!

Do you think the media will ever run an article outlining Trump’s plans for America as POTUS? That’s what an ethical press corp would do but Lord knows we haven’t had one of those for decades. They only mention whatever he was saying in passing as they go on to amplify whatever mistakes he made while campaigning. Meanwhile every article they write or run about Kamala has a much more positive tone than Trump’s.

So many unforced errors his first term- you’d think he’d learn!!!
Fact:
Trump accomplished more for America and Americans than any president in your lifetime.

You'd think you'd learned by now

Clueless dimwit!!!

I think i found it ? with a simple explanation ?

https://www.twz.com/air-force-c-32-jets-are-going-incognito-under-new-security-policy

Serial numbers are disappearing from the tails and rear fuselages of U.S. Air Force’s secretive C-32B Gatekeeper personnel transport planes and its more commonly seen C-32A executive transport jets that often fly in the Air Force Two and Air Force One role
