How Trump supporters turned Kamala Harris' earrings into 'earpieces that gave her unfair advantage'
Donald Trump's unimpressive performance during Tuesday's presidential debate has left many of his diehard fans dejected and looking for answers on how Kamala Harris, who is not known for her debate skills, beat the former TV host-turned-politician so convincingly.
US Vice President Kamala Harris, by all accounts, convincingly won the presidential debate on Tuesday. Even pro-Trump media houses, including Fox News, and some Republican leaders have acknowledged that Harris outperformed her rival in their first and probably only face-to-face encounter before the November elections.

What Kamala Harris wore during debate
According to the US media, the earrings with large pearls and two gold stalks that Harris wore during the debate with Trump are similar to a discontinued style from luxury jewellery brand Tiffany & Co.
But Trump supporters are convinced that it wasn't a piece of jewellery, but an earpiece through which she was getting instructions on how to respond during the debate.
What Trump supporters say
Some even dug up the earpiece which they claim Harris was wearing. According to them, it was a Nova H1 Audio Earrings, which were created by German-based NOVA Products and introduced at CES 2023.

Was it really Nova H1?
This is despite the fact that Nova H1 is visibly different from the earrings Harris was wearing. Others also pointed out that Nova H1 was originally introduced in 2021 as a Kickstarter project, which failed to get more than a few hundred backers before it was reintroduced at CES 2023, and even after this, it failed to hit the market.
Trump supports have been making same claims since 2016
This is also not the first time Trump supporters have accused his opponent of using earpieces during debates. In 2016, Trump supporters had claimed that Hillary Clinton was using earpieces during the presidential debate, while in 2020 it was the turn of Joe Biden to be subjected to the same allegations.
