Trump falsely claims crowd at Kamala Harris rally was generated by artificial intelligence

He added that images of the event, particularly the one showing the reflection of the airport environment on the body of Air Force Two, demonstrate that Harris had “NO ONE waiting for her.”

Unfortunately for him, the crowds were, in fact, very real.

Photos and videos showed the massive gathering of supporters at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in Romulus, Michigan.

People were seen standing shoulder to shoulder, crowding the area.

A video of the rally posted on X first zoomed in on Harris and her vice presidential nominee, Gov. Tim Walz, as they descended the stairs of Air Force Two, before zooming out to show the crowd of supporters in the airport hangar.

The Harris-Walz campaign told CNBC that the crowd photo was “an actual photo of a 15,000-person crowd for Harris-Walz in Michigan.”

Their rallies have drawn large crowds across the country. Friday’s rally in Glendale, Arizona, also had more than 15,000 attendees, according to The Guardian.

David Plouffe, a senior adviser to Harris’ campaign, criticized Trump for X, writing: “These are not conspiratorial ravings from the farthest corners of the internet. The author may have the nuclear codes and be responsible for decisions that will affect us all for decades.”

Walz also mocked Trump at a Friday rally in Glendale, saying, “You know, it’s not like anybody cares about the size of the crowd or anything.”

Trump is known to care a lot about crowd sizes.

On Thursday, he said he drew a larger crowd on Jan. 6 than Martin Luther King Jr. did in 1963.

It’s true that people have been flocking to Trump’s campaign rallies, but a video posted by conservative network RSBN showed Trump’s rally in Bozeman, Montana, on Friday looking a bit empty.

Although Trump was not speaking at the time, the video panned to show the audience and also captured a shot of a large section of the venue where there were rows of empty seats.

The former president has also historically not been reluctant to use AI for his campaign efforts.

In a podcast posted on June 14 with controversial social media influencer Logan Paul, he said that someone on his team rewrote his speech using AI.

“It clicks, clicks, clicks, and 15 seconds later it shows me my speech, written so beautifully,” she told Paul. “I said, ‘I’m going to use this device.'”

Representatives for Trump and Harris did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s requests for comment sent outside regular business hours.
