Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday published an all-caps meltdown accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of artificially inflating her social media posts' user engagement.
Writing on his Truth Social platform, the former president baselessly accused Harris of using "fake" numbers to make herself seem more popular than him.
"IT’S ALWAYS FAKE WITH KAMALA," the former president claimed. "WE’RE DOMINATING HER ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SO SHE MAKES UP A FAKE LIST OF HER NUMBERS VERSUS MY NUMBERS. ALL OF OUR ENGAGEMENT IS REAL AND ORGANIC, WHILE KAMALA HAS TO PAY FOR HER FAKE ENGAGEMENT. WE’RE BEATING HER 'LIKE A DRUM', LIKE WE WILL BEAT HER ON NOVEMBER 5TH. IT’S ALL FAKE, IT’S ALL MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION. WE ARE DESTROYING THE DEMOCRATS ON SOCIAL MEDIA!"

Trump's post was apparently sparked by the Harris campaign sharing a link to a story from Axios claiming that she "has dominated social media with an influx of viral memes and cutting taunts of the opposition."
The report noted that "the @KamalaHarris TikTok account gained 2 million followers in the first 24 hours since she became the presidential nominee and now has over 4.8 million" and that "the first six TikTok videos had more than 113 million views combined as of earlier this month."
This is not the first time Trump has accused Harris of inflating her popularity, as he also falsely accused her of using artificial intelligence to inflate images of her campaign rally crowds.
