Many people are curious about Donald Trump’s recent claims regarding Kamala Harris photoshopping rally images, which have garnered widespread attention. The accusations, centered around alleged AI manipulation of crowd photos at a Michigan rally, have sparked intense debate and speculation. People are eager to uncover the truth behind Trump’s assertions and their implications.
So, what exactly did Trump allege, and how has the Harris campaign responded? Here’s everything you need to know.
Donald Trump accuses Kamala Harris of faking the rally crowd
Former President Donald Trump recently accused Vice President Kamala Harris of using artificial intelligence (AI) to Photoshop images of a large crowd at her Michigan rally.
Trump claimed that the crowd shown in photos and videos was fake, alleging Harris “cheated” by creating a false image to mislead the public. However, independent media outlets and fact-checkers quickly debunked these claims. They confirmed the crowd was real.
Multiple news organizations, including local outlets like MLive, reported that around 15,000 people attended the Michigan rally. The crowd filled the hangar and spilled out onto the tarmac, the outlet added. Photos and videos of the event, shared by attendees and the media, further supported the presence of a large crowd. It appears that no evidence supports Trump’s claim that AI manipulated images or fabricated the crowd size.
Before this, Trump made a statement about the crowd he spoke to near the White House on January 6, 2021, calling it bigger than Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech’s audience. However, this claim was also proven false.
The Harris campaign responded by reaffirming the authenticity of the crowd and dismissing Trump’s claims as unsubstantiated. David Plouffe, a senior advisor for Harris, expressed concern over Trump’s rhetoric. He highlighted the potential dangers of such falsehoods in a highly charged political environment.
Trump’s allegations against Harris seem to have been discredited by multiple sources. The crowd at Kamala Harris’ Michigan rally was real, according to several media outlets, with no evidence per se of AI image manipulation or Photoshop use to alter the crowd size.
