‘Can’t Say’: Trump Refuses to Answer Question on His Claim Kamala Harris Crowds Were Faked
Former President Donald Trump dodged on Wednesday when asked about his odd and easily disproven claim that images of Kamala Harris’s crowds were generated by artificial intelligence.
“And you said that Harris’s crowd sizes were ‘A.I.’d’ and there weren’t people there. There’s all kinds of video evidence and people who were there who’ve proven that false. Can you tell us about why you made that claim,” Trump was asked by an off-camera reporter.
“Well, I can’t say what was there, who was there. I can only tell you about ours. We have the biggest crowds ever in the history of politics,” replied the GOP presidential nominee, adding:
We have crowds that nobody’s ever seen before, and we continue to have that. We have a level of enthusiasm that nobody’s seen before. They want to make America great again. That’s what’s happening. We’re going to make it great again. Right now we have a failing nation. We’re in a failing nation and, become in many ways, a third world nation. And we’re not going to let that happen. Thank you very much. Thank you everybody.
Trump posted to his Truth Social over the weekend:
Has anyone noticed that Kamala CHEATED at the airport? There was nobody at the plane, and she “A.I.’d” it, and showed a massive “crowd” of so-called followers, BUT THEY DIDN’T EXIST! She was turned in by a maintenance worker at the airport when he noticed the fake crowd picture, but there was nobody there, later confirmed by the reflection of the mirror like finish on the Vice Presidential Plane. She’s a CHEATER. She had NOBODY waiting, and the “crowd” looked like 10,000 people! 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. Anyone who does that will cheat at ANYTHING!
His odd claims, easily disproven by video footage of the event, led to a bevy of criticism and hot takes in the media about Trump’s mental state.

Former GOP lawyer George Conway told MSNBC after the post, “ This, I believe, is what ultimately was always going to happen. The final implosion of Donald Trump. I mean, it’s like Hitler when Hitler was moving around divisions that didn’t exist in the last ten days of the war in the Führer bunker. He has completely lost it. This post is beyond question, delusional.”
