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 vice president.
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.’
WHAT DONALD TRUMP SAID.
‘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 at her speeches.’
‘This is the way Democrats win Elections,’ Trump argued. ‘She should be disqualified because the creation of a fake image is ELECTION INTERFERENCE.
‘Anyone who does that will cheat at ANYTHING!’

PEOPLE THINK THE SAME
Other Republicans have made similar claims, with commentator Dinesh D’Souza telling his followers to ‘check the reflection in the plane.
‘Does this look like a real picture to you?’ he asked on Saturday.
Another X user also claimed that ‘if you look closely at the paint job of the airplane, you’ll notice that the crowd does not reflect in the paint.
‘Her crowd is fake. Her voters are fake. Her marriage is fake. Her political career is fake,’ the X user wrote.
