Trump rages 'election interference' with claim Kamala Harris rally crowds are fake

On Sunday afternoon, rally crowd-obsessed Donald Trump took a shot at Vice President Kamala Harris by claiming the photos of the crowd that showed up for an airport rally was created by “A.I.’d.”

According to the former president who has watched the vice president passing him in the polls and in rally crowd counts, a "maintenance worker at the airport" turned her in.

Despite video from the rally showing a packed crowd at Detroit Metro Airport, the former president presented what he believed is evidence that the public is being been duped.

On Truth Social he wrote that, if true, it constitutes "election interference."

"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!" he continued.

He later added, "EVERYTHING ABOUT KAMALA IS FAKE!"

'Do you think he had bone spurs?' J.D. Vance cornered over Trump ducking military service

After going on an extended rant claiming Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz lied about his military service "for political gain," Donald Trump running mate J.D. Vance was pressed by CNN's Dana Bash to defend Trump ducking out on military service completely.

In the midst of the long interview with the Ohio Republican who claimed Walz's actions were "shameful," the "State of the Union" host began, "One last question, Donald Trump didn't serve in the military. He received a medical draft deferment for bone spurs to avoid serving in the Vietnam War, reportedly as a favor to his father."

"Do you find that shameful too?" she asked.

"I think that Donald Trump didn't serve in the military but he didn't lie about it, Dana," the Ohio Republican protested. "I've known Donald Trump for a long time..."

"You don't think he — " Bash tried to interject as Vance talked over her and claimed, "Donald Trump didn't lie about serving in the military, he didn't say that he went to Vietnam when he didn't. This is the problem."

"I don't criticize anybody whether they served our country or not," he insisted as he changed the subject. "I think it's honorable to serve, but obviously a lot of people have reasons for not serving. I criticize somebody for embellishing the record for lying, saying I went to war, Dana."

"Don't you think that it's a problem that he [Walz] said I went to war, but he didn't actually? That seems to be a problem to me," Vance continued.

"Well, they've they corrected that, let's move on, " Bash replied.

'Self-destructing' Trump looks 'weak' as Harris surges: GOP strategist

Reacting to the surging popularity of Vice President Kamala Harris and a series of unforced errors by Donald Trump, one Republican Party strategist warned it looks like the former president is tanking his chances of being re-elected.

In a column for the Charlotte Observer, South Carolina-based Matt Wylie wrote that Harris has given the former president every chance to derail her fledgling campaign but he can't seem to stop himself from following his worst instincts.

As he explained, "Trump, who sought to regain momentum at a Thursday news conference at Mar-a-Lago, seems to be blowing up his own campaign," before writing that his waffling on debates with the vice president makes him look like he has lost control of the narrative.

"Trump’s push to move a previously scheduled debate on ABC and his offer Thursday to debate Harris three times on three different networks seemed like desperate moves by a Trump campaign struggling to regain its footing," he suggested. "Unlike the July CNN debate, where Trump walked right into a lion’s den and took on Joe Biden, these stunts make Trump look weak and in need of help from a friendly network."

Having stated that, he wrote that Trump "seems to be self-destructing" because he's spending more time making personal attacks on Harris and not talking about issues.

"Harris has strong momentum and is moving ahead in some polls," he cautioned. "To stop them, Republicans must talk about issues and highlight their vision for America. In his press conference, Trump returned to discussing safety and security, inflation and high energy costs — critical issues that will resonate with swing-state voters. This is how we win elections."
