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.

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 ..

If those AI crowds are being used to raise funds, that would be fraud.

Trump supporters need to frequent Harri-Swalz events to record the crowds with timestamps and publicize them adjacent to whatever record the Dems post. That shouldn’t be too hard.

This is generative AI put together by a Gen-Z wannabe influencer.

It's clear there was never an event like this, and the Harris campaign has never said there was.

Is should be ignored. It's meaningless...

given the FakeNewsMSM can’t be relied upon to show the crowds or empty seats at rallies, surely someone in the GOP can get themselves “invited” to the Harris show, or is that too difficult and tightly controlled by the Dems?

i have doubts about the volume of applause when Harris is speaking. i research all kinds of ways sound is manipulated, and has been for years, and it would be so easy to amplify the sound.

it would be great to have someone capture the actual sound, as well as views of the audience.

The more he goes down the stupid rabbit hole tangent… When he can win just simply on the mere issues… He’s going to seal his fate in the electoral college …Mark my word… But he’s so petty, thin skinned, small minded and a crybaby (“My Tonka Toy is larger than yours!”) which trust me MOST average Americans outside of Little Free Republic, DO NOT even care about, he’s going to bring it all down himself.

It’s kind of hard to have someone imbedded into a crowd that was never there.

There’s another photo, I can’t find it, of a lousy AI photo of the crowd size in Arizona

We are trying to warn you… And we’re going to have to say “we told you so”… This is a tin foil non-issue and there’s nothing to it..
Much more lucrative fish to fry in terms of what appeals to the American people

The photo was doctored- AF2 in the fulll/ uncropped version did not have a tail number.

There were also people holding phone up for pictures, but the phones all had different images on screen.

It was clearly AI!

This article is a cover piece.

Some of us want to see Trump WIN. Not just make us feel good about ourselves.
