New York | Former president Donald Trump has taken his new obsession with the large crowds that Vice President Kamala Harris is drawing at her rallies to new heights, falsely declaring in a series of social media posts on Sunday (Monday AEST) that she had used artificial intelligence to create images and videos of fake crowds.

The crowds at Ms Harris’ events, including one in Detroit outside an airplane hangar, were witnessed by thousands of people and news outlets, including The New York Times, and the number of attendees claimed by her campaign is in line with what was visible on the ground. Trump falsely wrote on his social media site, Truth Social, that “there was nobody at the plane, and she ‘AI’d’ it.”
