ANYBODY can post a notice on Craigslist for people to find. If the Trump campaign really wanted to do this, they’d find a more private source.

I responded to the last one, never heard back.

I think it did ask specifically for people of color, and the pay was a flat $10.

If it’s real I’m sure they won’t pay you till the end - which means they won’t pay you. Probably bogus, but you never know. It might be good for someone with a lot of time to go in and take some video. Of course masks will be prohibited so no one smarter than a mollusk would do it.

doesn't mean it was posted there by Trump's campaign.

This strikes me as someone looking for "gotchas" based on confirmation bias.

ETA from Snopes re the earlier reported ad for minority actors:

While many factors connect the ad to the location and date of the Trump rally, Snopes is unable to contact the original source for the ad, and thus can’t determine whether this was an attempt to hire actors with minority backgrounds to hold up signs at the rally.

The ad was taken down by Craigslist administrators on June 15, 2020. Snopes was unable to contact the person who posted the ad, but has contacted Craigslist for comment, and will update this post if we receive a response.

As of June 15, the page said “This posting is being held for review.” On June 16, it was flagged for removal, presumably for a terms of use violation

These never seem to be followed-up on. I'm sure they must sign something, but there should be one brave soul to come forward.
