The video was shared on Truth Social
As the “Münchner Merkur” reported on Monday (October 7th), Harris’ campaign team spread the word last Thursday (October 3rd). Videowhich shows a half-filled venue at a Trump campaign appearance.
The video is completed by a recording of Donald Trump in which he asks rhetorically: “Who else fills a hall like this at 3 o’clock in the afternoon?” In addition, the video was posted on Trump’s self-founded social media platform Truth Social published.
Trump cares about attracting a large audience
The published video triggered a number of reactions from both Donald Trump’s supporters and Kamala Harris’s camp. While Republicans commented on the video that the depiction was unfair, Democratic Party supporters celebrated it. They see it as evidence of Trump’s narcissism and megalomania.
It is well known that Trump cares about attracting large audiences at campaign events. The fact that Kamala Harris is now joking about exactly this in the published video could be due to his behavior during the TV duel between the two, speculates the “Münchner Merkur”. Even then, Harris openly doubted Trump’s audience numbers. The ex-president reacted thinly and allowed himself to be distracted from the actual topic, it was said.
