Former President Donald Trump made false claims on social media regarding the attendance at Vice President Kamala Harris' recent rally in Michigan. Trump alleged that 'nobody' attended the event and accused Harris of using a 'fake crowd picture.' However, photos and videos from the rally clearly show a large turnout of supporters at the airport hangar near Detroit.
Trump's fixation on crowd size is well-documented, with his speeches often featuring exaggerated claims about audience numbers. On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump propagated a conspiracy theory that an airport maintenance worker had exposed the alleged fake image used by Harris.
Trump went as far as suggesting that Harris should be disqualified from the 2024 election due to what he termed as 'election interference' for creating a false impression of crowd size. Despite Trump's claims, visual evidence from the event contradicts his assertions, showing a significant audience filling the hangar and extending onto the tarmac where Air Force Two was parked.
The rally featured large risers, rows of chairs, and multiple giant screens to accommodate the outdoor crowd. The videos captured by various sources clearly depict the enthusiastic support for Vice President Harris during the event.
Trump's unfounded allegations highlight the ongoing political tensions and misinformation prevalent in today's discourse. It serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying information and relying on credible sources in the age of digital communication.
