Trump claims Kamala Harris rally crowd is FAKE as he posts 'AI doctored photo' - but all is not as it seems
Daily Mail ^ | 8.11.2024 | Melissa Koenig

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 ..

Re: 98 - President Trump is doing it his way. What he discusses is ultimately his call.

Related, I’m not sure posters foot stomping and whining about media bias does any good. President Trump knew full well what the media was like. And HE still talks to Maggie Haberman and gave HOURS of interviews to Bob Woodward.

So what happens when Woodward publishes a book based on those interviews? Some people get mad at Woodward - a sign of lack of discernment and maybe low intellect.

President Trump knows what the media is like. He’s running the campaign HIS way.

He complains about how he is treated all the time. How unfair it all is.

Is he wrong?

Seriously? You’re funny. Or not too smart. You’re so flustered you can’t even hurl your juvenile insults at the proper people.

Yep, sent to the wrong poster. But seriously, I'm battling so many of you freaks at once that it is hard to keep up with it all.

The crowd sizes do matter and Trump knows why, at least for their side. They need to keep up the fake idea that Harris is tied or out front of Trump to make another attempt at major vote fraud appear believable.

That is exactly right. In 2020 it was clear that Trump was very popular due mostly to the unmistakeable evidence that his rallies were major events. People we KNEW went to them. Also i n 2020 Biden didn't campaign barely at all and the "crowds" were clearly and absolutely tiny if you could even call them crowds.

So when Biden "won" it was at that point clear that something smelled.

Fast forward to today. Trump rallies are STILL huge, in fact maybe even bigger. It's just that now they are NEVER reported. Trump masterfully schedules them in strategic locations so people will KNOW someone that went to a rally. Makes it harder for the leftists and globalists to cheat. That's also part of the reason why they booted Biden. There is no way they could fake large amounts of people and excitement for Biden.

So they bring in Kamala and Harris. And their mission is to be energetic. Act excited. And AI will supply the crowds and our propaganda press will cover for it. It's all designed to make it easier to steal the election without as much blowback as 2020.

“Trump cleared the field in 2016, 2020 and again in 2024.”

No, no I didn't. Trump won 2020 by a considerably larger margin then in 2016. Don't be so gullible as to believe what the media is depositing in you.

Why do people keep talking about tail numbers? The Air Force removed most tail numbers from its tanker and transport aircraft last year for operational security reasons.

Of course it’s fake. That many people would not be allowed on the tarmac and that many people would not be allowed wihin 100 yards of AF1 or AF2.

I saw this one this morning on CFP.

Pay attention to the pics that show lines of cars to her rally.

Zoom in and scroll down a little. Robots going there too!

Moment the author wrote “right-wingers,” I stopped reading. The article dripped with bias. That said, there does seem to be some digital oddity with some of the photos, but who cares. It allows the RAT media to ignore real issues with the RAT socialist ticket. People who show up to rallies already decided on who they are voting for, 15,000 or 100,000 does not change anything. Even in a deep red state, a RAT politician can draw a large crowd of useful idiots.

I can’t figure out whether you’re saying he should flit from one thing to another or that he’s not doing that.

As of now he appears to be on the path to defeat.

The real issue is who made that image, not that the doctored image exists.

If it turns out the image was made by Trump supporters then Trump will look foolish for making the accusation. Which is why he should let surrogates level these attacks.

That is a stupid take. No, any discussion by Trump and his subordinates which does not try to move needles from D or I to R is pointless.
See: JD Vance. That is always his goal when he speaks.

Notice how you can't see/make out any WI plates (in the original/distance pics), either. 🙄

Re: 322 - It’s irrelevant that it’s unfair.

Donald Rumsfeld said (essentially) you go to war with the army you have. A media that favors the left is the way things are. Foot stomping and whining as such does what exactly?

Adapt, improvise, overcome. The current state of media bias is not going to change in the near term.
