Verdict: False
The claim is false. Video of Trumpās recent campaign rally at Madison Square Garden shows he wore a blue suit, red tie, and no hat.
Fact Check:
New SSRS polls conducted for CNN show 2024 Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of Trump by six points in Wisconsin and five points in Michigan, according to The Hill. Harris is polling at 51% compared to Trumpās 45% among likely voters in Wisconsin and at 48% compared to Trumpās 43% in Michigan, the same poll shows, the outlet reported.
The X post, which has been viewed over 600,000 times as of writing, claims Trump wore āProud Boys black and goldā at his recent Madison Square Garden campaign rally.
āTrump - who almost always wears a red tie and MAGA hat - wore black and gold last night, ahead of his āAmerica Firstā rally tonight in Madison Square Garden. I wonder why,ā the post reads.
The post includes a photo of Trump wearing black and gold attire, including his signature āMake America Great Againā hat alongside a photo of a member of the Proud Boys wearing a black and gold shirt.
The claim is false, however. Video of Trumpās recent campaign rally at Madison Square Garden shows him wearing a blue suit and a red tie, but no hat. Trump enters the venue after being introduced by his wife and former First Lady Melania Trump at the videoās 2:15:42 timestamp.
Likewise, the former Republican President and 2024 candidate does not appear to have publicly commented on the claim via his official campaign website, his TRUTH Social account, or his verified social media accounts.
In addition, Check Your Fact found no credible news reports to support the claim made via the viral X post. Actually, the opposite is true. On Oct. 30, PolitiFact debunked the claim. (RELATED: Were There 200,000 Attendees At Donald Trumpās Madison Square Garden Rally?)
Although the claim is false, Trump did wear black and gold attire at an Oct. 25 campaign rally in Traverse City, Michigan, video of the event shows.
Check Your Fact has contacted a Trump spokesperson for comment.
