Trump falsely claims that Kamala Harris crowds are AI fakes

In September, during his campaign, Trump claimed that Harris was using Artificial Intelligence to ‘fake’ the crowds at her campaign rallies. 
 
In 2012 the former president, who gets upset about the data of people at his meetings and recently declared that he drew ‘the largest crowds,’ told Ms Harris that she has been spreading fake images and should not be allowed to vote. 
 
He alleged that ‘nobody’ attended her rally in Michigan on Sunday and followed up that claim with a conspiracy theory that was originated on the internet arguing that photographs showing the reflection in the Air Force Two plane’s fuselage were made to indicate that there was a large crowd in the event. 
 
He also accused Ms Harris of “stealing” this policy of removing taxes on tips, having seen her making the announcement of the policy to a crowd of 12,000 people. 
 
Taking to his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wondered: “Has anybody noticed that Kamala cheated at the airport?” 
 
“They were all absent from the plane; she ‘AI’d it’ and paraded a large number of people she called her followers, but they were nonexistent. ” 
 
He proceeded to assert that Ms Harris routinely inflated the number of people who attended rally events, and that she ought not be allowed to stand against him because it amounted to ‘interference in the elections’. 
 
Sunday night, the Harris campaign took aim at Trump on Trump’s own Truth Social platform, questioning how small rallies the senator has been drawing compared to the former president. 
 
In August 2024 Trump said that the speech that he delivered on 1/6/2021 just before the insurrectionists entered the Capitol was made to a larger audience than the “I have a dream” speech that Martin Luther King made in 1963. 
 
He also employed Truth Social to insult Ms Harris for copying what he had proposed to repeal the tax on tips, saying that the Democrat has ‘no original ideas’. 
 
It had been an agenda of the Trump campaign and was suggestive of a start well-received in Nevada a swing state that has the highest density of food service personnel in the United States. 
 
Trump had earlier said he had fully developed the idea one night while engaged in a conversation with ‘a very smart waitress’ at the restaurant. It has been claimed that it might result in tax receipts falling by tens of billions of dollars. 
 
Bernie Sanders’s main rival for the Democratic nomination, Ms Harris, who joined the presidential race in July and has since seeing a boost in the polls, on Saturday suggested a similarly policy during her campaign in Nevada. 
 
“We will keep our struggle for working families of America, for increasing minimum wage, and for removing taxes on tips for waiters and other service people when I am elected president,” said Mrs Clinton on Saturday. 
 
Trump objected that Ms Harris borrowed his policy from desperation and would not deliver on the promise. 
 
“Kamala Harris, whose ‘honeymoon’ period is ending, and is starting to br//Kamala taking heat and is now beginning to get pounded in the polls, just copied my no taxes on tips policy,” he said. 
 
“The difference is, she will not do it, she just wants it for political gain! This was one of Trump’s suggestions – he has no alternative, she can only copy me. 
 
The latest survey for The Telegraph had both the contenders at 40 per cent in Nevada, where Trump clinched a thin victory in 2016 amid a nationwide defeat. 
 
The Republican seems to have had a hard time to fit into the campaign trail after US president Joe Biden quit the presidential race in July and throwing his weight behind Ms Harris. 
 
He name-called his new opponent through a number of monikers, none of which stuck: “Laughin’ Kamala”, “Crazy Kamala” and “Kamabla”; he was f ocurced when he said she had decided to “turn” black for political expediency. 
 
A New York Times poll conducted between August 5 and August 9 showed Ms Harris four-points ahead ahead across the three rust belt swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
