Trump labeled 'detached from reality' as he spreads baseless claims about Harris' debate performance
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Republican nominee Donald Trump, in his second rally since the recent debate, aimed to undermine Vice President Kamala Harris' performance by spreading unsubstantiated accusations.
Trump targeted Harris with false claims and diverged into various unrelated topics, such as crime statistics and immigration, to strengthen his narrative.
During a rally in Las Vegas, Trump spoke to a large crowd, criticizing Harris just days after their debate encounter, as reported by The Washington Post.
At his Las Vegas rally, former President Trump is now spreading the baseless conspiracy theory that Vice President Kamala Harris had an earpiece in her ear which enabled her advisors to share answers with her while the debate was in progress.

Donald Trump spreads baseless rumours about Kamala Harris' debate performance
Donald Trump claimed victory in the debate and declared he would not participate in any future debates.
Trump questioned whether Harris had received the debate questions beforehand, citing unfounded internet rumors, which the hosting network, ABC News, has already denied.
He also mentioned a baseless Facebook post that suggested Harris used audio devices hidden in her earrings during the debate.
"I hear she got the questions, and I also heard she had something in the ear. Fortunately, we had a leaker or a whistleblower. I don't care which. I love that person," Trump stated, implying that someone from the debate had leaked information.
Trump also made incorrect assertions about crime statistics.
He criticized debate moderator David Muir's reference to FBI data showing a decline in violent crime in the first quarter of 2024, instead citing newly released Justice Department survey data to argue the opposite.
"So David Muir owes me an apology," Trump remarked, adding a personal jab at Muir's appearance.
Trump shifted his focus to immigration, falsely claiming that a US Customs and Border Protection app was being used by cartels to find drop-off points for undocumented immigrants.
"Could you believe we have phone apps? The cartels have apps where they call in so they know where to deposit their illegal people," he exclaimed to the crowd.
This mischaracterization was part of Trump's continued efforts to criticize current immigration policies.
Trump promised to deploy federal agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to execute mass deportations if reelected.
