First of all you rushed to put a newspaper lie on site. So horrer after horror - Trump did not say anything on the issue - it was a close ally of Trump who made the claim. Roger Stone is a conservative political advisor and lobbyist since the 1970's So what make Stone a "close" ally of Trump? There is no indication at all that Trump was involved in the internet postinng. So get real and think before you post tripe on site. In any event Stone are not as good as Biden in finding lies to talk about during speeches, You remember that memorial remark he made about his unle being eaen by cannibals? A real classic causing further estrangements from the Caribean Sea island states. The main political supporter of the Republicans is Joe Biden/
Not to worry about that one. What should worry you are the Trump rally in New Jersey where circa 90 000 people attended, It is the biggest turnout ever in the states like Connecticutt and New York. There were very clear on the issues causubg
their support of Trump. They dealt with inflation and of the open border policy of Biden.That in an area where the Republicans last won the Presidential election since 1984.

Misinformation is everywhere online and facts surrounding the upcoming US presidential race are harder than ever to validate – especially when key allies of the main players are sharing fake images, it turns out.
Roger Stone has been a key ally of Donald Trump and Republican operative for years, and he posted a picture claiming to show tens of thousands of people who had turned out to see the former president at a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey.
However, as it turns out, the picture was actually an image of a Rod Stewart concert from 1994 which took place in Rio De Janeiro.
Posting the image on Sunday, Stone wrote: “Yeah , New Jersey is in play for @realDonaldTrump. Could Joe Biden draw a crowd like this?”
However, people quickly noticed the misleading image and it was hit with a community note.
It read: “This is a photo from a Rod Stewart concert almost 30 years ago.
“‘On December 31, 1994, Rod Stewart performed at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro in front of an estimated 3.5 to 4.2 million people.’”
It comes as people on social media disputed the size of the crowd that came to support Trump on Saturday (May 11).
While a spokesperson for the city of Wildwood claimed that up to 100,000 people attended the rally, the audience appeared to get smaller as the end of Trump’s 90-minute speech approached.
Trump himself is being mocked after claiming the crowd at the rally was bigger than a Bruce Springsteen concert.
