Recently, social media users have shared a viral clip of U.S. President Donald Trump dancing on the roof of the White House. The YMCA music is playing in the background and the C-SPAN logo is on the video.

Reacting to the video, several users expressed their anger and called him unfit to be the President. Verified X user ‘TheMaineWonk’ shared the video clip with the caption: “The President of the United States is unfit for office.” This post gained around 1.8 million views and more than 41,000 likes.

FACT CHECK

DigitEYE India investigated the claim and discovered that the video was tweaked and added few dance moves.

We first checked the original C-SPAN interview of around 9 minutes and 4 seconds which can be found here. During the interview, Trump joked about installing nuclear missiles on the roof of the White House. 

President Trump was not dancing on the roof of the White House rather extending some hand gestures while addressing reporters below. And his hand gestures were tweaked and made to show as if he is dancing. This tweaked video was not published by C-SPAN.

We did not find any section in the original C-SPAN interview where Trump was seen dancing. A report by the MSN also affirms that the video of Trump dancing on the roof of the White House was edited. Find the image of it below: 

Upon checking the claims of the users, we found that the edited video was shared by an X account called ‘drefanzor memes’. This account is known for sharing edited videos and the bio of the account clearly says, “doctored videos”. 

Thus, the video is fabricated and the claim is false.
