Fact Check: Viral Video Showing Donald Trump Vandalizing Office Is Artificially Generated

NEW DELHI — A video circulating on social media claiming to show United States President Donald Trump vandalising his office following the Republican Party’s defeat in the midterm elections is artificially generated, according to a fact-check report by Vishvas News.

The claim gained traction on platforms like Facebook, where users shared the footage suggesting that Trump lost his temper and smashed his office after election results emerged. Vishvas News verified the clip and found it to be an AI-generated creation being passed off as authentic.

According to the fact-check report, a keyword search yielded no credible media reports of any such incident involving the US president. A closer inspection of the footage revealed visual inconsistencies, including a timeline jumping backwards from 14:27:28 to 14:27:19, alongside a watermark reading ‘Eman Rus’ at the end of the video.

Further investigation traced the original upload to an Instagram user, ’eman_russ’, who posted the video on November 4, 2026, with an explicit label stating it was generated using ‘higgsfield.ai’. Additional testing using AI detection tools reinforced these findings; Google’s ‘SynthID’ indicated signs of artificial generation or editing, while the ‘aivideodetector’ platform estimated a 72 percent probability of the video being AI-generated.

To corroborate the findings, Vishvas News consulted Jai Prakash Ranjan, a special correspondent covering foreign affairs for Dainik Jagran, who confirmed that no such office vandalism by Trump had occurred or been reported.

The circulation of the fabricated video coincides with genuine political setbacks for the US administration. According to a BBC report from November 8, 2026, President Trump’s Republican Party lost control of both chambers of the US Congress—the Senate and the House of Representatives—following the midterm elections, with the opposition Democratic Party securing majorities in both houses.

Vishvas News noted that the social media account responsible for spreading the misleading claim was created on September 6, 2025.
