MSNBC guest compares Trump to Hitler's final days in bunker over his Harris AI crowd claims

Former President Trump's false claims that Vice President Harris used Artificial Intelligence to generate a crowd at a recent rally is proof that he's "completely lost it," anti-Trump attorney George Conway said on Monday.

On MSNBC's "Morning Joe," co-host Jonathan Lemire asked Conway to react to Trump's Truth Social post over the weekend where he accused his 2024 opponent of using AI to generate a fake crowd at a rally last Wednesday at an airport hangar near Detroit Metro Airport.

"Donald Trump is so rattled about crowd sizes, he’s taking up conspiracy theories from the fever swamps of the right, elevating it, maybe even believing it," Lemire posed to Conway. "It just wreaks of desperation."

Conway, an outspoken Trump critic, called the former president a "deeply psychologically disturbed" individual who shared "narcissist" and "sociopath" traits like dictators throughout history.

"As I’ve been yammering about for five or six years now, he’s a deeply unwell man. He is a deeply psychologically disturbed individual. If he were a member of your family, you’d be taking him, you’d be staging an intervention and taking him into a psychiatric hospital," Conway argued.

"He is, as I’ve been saying, a narcissistic sociopath, a pathological narcissist and a sociopath as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. These are, historians will tell you, the traits of authoritarian dictators throughout history. And what we’re seeing now is, as you put it, an implosion. This, I believe, is what ultimately was always going to happen. The final implosion of Donald Trump," he continued.

Conway compared Trump's "delusional" post about crowd sizes to Adolf Hitler's behavior during the final days of World War II while hiding in his bunker.

"I mean, it’s like Hitler when Hitler was moving around divisions that didn’t exist in the last 10 days of the war in the Führerbunker. He has completely lost it. This post is beyond question, delusional," the attorney claimed.

On Sunday, Trump posted to Truth Social: "Has anyone noticed that Kamala CHEATED at the airport? There was nobody at the plane, and she ‘A.I.’d’ it, and showed a massive ‘crowd’ of so-called followers, BUT THEY DIDN’T EXIST!" He also posted a zoomed-in photo purporting to show the plane's reflection without any people in it as evidence of this theory.

Fox2Detroit reported an estimated 15,000 people showed up to the rally, which was also livestreamed and photographed by news outlets. AI experts told CNN they could find "no evidence" photos posted by the Harris campaign were digitally altered.

Conway claimed that the former president was running scared because if he didn't win the election he would be "going to jail" because of his legal cases.

"He realizes he’s under more pressure than ever because he’s not just running for the presidency, he is running for his freedom. He’s going to go to jail if he does not win the presidency, and he can see that now. And that’s why he’s doubling down on the unreality," he continued.

A majority of Trump's legal cases are currently in limbo after he secured a victory from the Supreme Court in his presidential immunity case last month. 

The Harris campaign dismissed Trump's claim in a post on X.

"1. This is an actual photo of a 15,000-person crowd for Harris-Walz in Michigan 2) Trump has still not campaigned in a swing state in over a week... Low energy?" the Kamala HQ X account posted in response to Trump's Truth Social post.

Fox News Digital contacted the Trump campaign for comment but did not immediately receive a response. 

Kamala Harris’ glowing TIME cover dragged by critics: 'Journos worshipping politicians, terrific'

TIME was dragged on social media on Monday morning when the magazine unveiled a fawning cover story on Vice President Kamala Harris. 

The new issue of TIME features a glowing story by Charlotte Alter on the vice president, with a front cover headline that simply reads "Her Moment." Inside, Alter wrote that "Harris has pulled off the swiftest vibe shift in modern political history" and declared that maybe the 2020 Democratic primary and her time as vice president haven’t been the right times for Harris to "showcase her talents," but she "seems matched to the moment" as the Democratic presidential nominee.  

Harris became the de facto nominee after President Biden endorsed her on July 21 when he dropped out of the race, and she has since officially clinched the nomination. Along the way, the mainstream media has given her overwhelmingly positive coverage and many feel the TIME piece is the icing on the cake. 

Although Harris didn't agree to be interviewed for the story, it quoted a wide array of aides, advisers and supporters like Pete Buttigieg, CNN's Bakari Sellers and gun control activist David Hogg.

"Even if Washington was taken by surprise, the energetic fighter of the past two weeks matches the Harris whom allies say they have known for years," Alter wrote.

Conservatives and Harris critics quickly mocked the magazine:  

"The way the US corporate media transformed Kamala Harris from a national embarrassment to a transformative pioneer overnight -- without even pretending to care about anything that she thinks or believes -- is a powerful testament to how potent the science of propaganda is," journalist Glenn Greenwald posted on X. 

"Journos worshipping politicians, terrific," writer Jim Treacher snarked. 

Many blasted the glowing piece as "propaganda," while others mocked TIME for failing to land an interview with Harris.

TIME shared the cover with the caption, "The reintroduction of Kamala Harris."

Pundit Stephen L. Miller wrote, "We're on about 8 reintroductions of her, for a reason but here's Time's new cover. Soak it up."

National Review senior writer Charles C. W. Cooke reacted, "Why did she need reintroducing? Is it that she needed to change all her policies?"

"Kamala Harris has been reintroduced more times than the McDonalds McRib sandwich," communications specialist Brian Doherty wrote.

Conservative communications strategist Matt Whitlock added, "No reintroduction necessary, she’s the Vice President of the United States, we know her well."

Ascent Strategic director Mark Warner responded, "Reintroducing? Hey @TIME y’all know she has been the VP for the last almost four years? Right?"

Many others took to X with reactions: 

The piece by Alter acknowledged Harris "may still be the underdog" and she would have to answer for the Biden administration's record, including on difficult issues like the border and economy.

"Harris has yet to do a single substantive interview or to explain her policy shifts," Alter wrote. "She has to repair ruptures in the party coalition, galvanizing the Black, Hispanic, Arab American, and young voters who migrated away from Biden. Though her early polling numbers are far better than Biden’s were, she lags his 2020 support with some key demographic groups she needs to win."
