Overview of OnlyFans Model's Claim Shared by Donald Trump
Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently amplified a claim made by Samantha Gangewere, an OnlyFans model and social media influencer known as @thatboostedchick on TikTok. Gangewere alleged she overheard a conversation in a nail salon suggesting that Kamala Harris' campaign team was paying individuals to participate in campaign events.
Details of the Allegation
Gangewere mentioned that according to a nail technician, the Technicians cousin, situated in South Philadelphia, received $700 a week despite not being a U.S. citizen nor eligible to vote. These payments were purportedly for holding signs and attending protests, covering travel and other related expenses. As of now, there is no evidence presented to support these claims.
Context of Trump's Claims
This incident is part of a broader pattern of accusations by Trump who has previously claimed, without evidence, that protests and political activities against him were orchestrated with paid participants. This includes specific allegations about protests at Columbia University earlier this year.

Implications of Trump's Endorsement of the Rumor
