'He's really losing it': Trump mocked for angry rant about Kamala Harris rally crowd sizes

0

Former President Donald Trump is not happy to see media coverage of the big crowds that Vice President Kamala Harris is drawing at her campaign rallies.

Writing on his Truth Social platform on Thursday, Trump baselessly accused the media of inflating crowd sizes at Harris rallies, which have each drawn over 10,000 people this week in key swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

"If Kamala has 1,000 people at a Rally, the Press goes 'crazy,' and talks about how 'big' it was - And she pays for her 'Crowd,'" wrote Trump. "When I have a Rally, and 100,000 people show up, the Fake News doesn’t talk about it, THEY REFUSE TO MENTION CROWD SIZE. The Fake News is the Enemy of the People!"

Crowd sizes have long been of vital importance to Trump, most infamously when he directed former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer to falsely claim that he had a larger inauguration crowd than former President Barack Obama had back in 2008.

Given all this, Trump's latest rant about crowd sizes was roundly mocked by many political observers.

"He’s really losing it after the latest poll results," observed Meidas Touch editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski, who added that Trump's crowd-size rant was "his 7th post in the last hour."

"I f------ love how triggered Trump is by Kamala’s crowd size," wrote gun rights activist David Hogg.

"I have a legitimate, serious question for Trump supporters," challenged former Republican strategist Rick Wilson. "Can you show me a Trump *rally* where 100,000 people attended?"

He then pointed to data showing that the biggest official tally for a Trump rally appears to be 30,000.

Even conservative Daniel Horowitz appeared skeptical of Trump complaining about press coverage of crowd sizes.

"Back to crowd size?" he asked on Thursday.
