Vice President Kamala Harris has a growing number of supporters and Former President Donald Trump has not been happy about it. Trump responded to Ms. Harris’s large rally crowds with a series of social media posts claiming they were fake and generated using artificial intelligence to project a false image of popularity.
So, how do we know that these crowds are real and that Trump’s claims are false? Harris’s events, like the one held in Detroit located outside an airplane hangar, had lots of witnesses. Thousands of people and news outlets like the New York Times were at the event thus confirming that the videos and pictures were not fake.
Mr. Trump also seems to have been struggling politically since Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Ms. Harris stepped in, mainly because of the amount of support Harris has from her fellow Democrats. Also, recent poll results have shown Harris ahead of Trump in some key states, which is probably the cause of his recent actions.
Mr. Trump’s recent activity is consistent with how he has responded to past campaign struggles. Trump took to his social media website Truth Social to vent, writing:
“She’s a CHEATER. She had NOBODY waiting, and the ‘crowd’ looked like 10,000 people!” Mr. Trump wrote in one of his posts. “Same thing is happening with her fake ‘crowds’ at her speeches. This is the way the Democrats win Elections, by CHEATING – And they’re even worse at the Ballot Box. She should be disqualified because the creation of a fake image is ELECTION INTERFERENCE.”
Trump’s posts on social media are reflect a frustration with political competition as he faces a Kamala Harris who continues to pull ahead of him.
