Fact Check: Edited Audio Has Fart Sounds NOT In Original Video Of Trump's Return To White House After Arlington Memorial Day Ceremony Audio Edited

Does a real video contain "new audio" which reveals President Donald Trump has "worsening incontinence"? No, that's not true: The audio track of a video was edited to add farting noises and text captioning which are not part of the original video. The altered video was first published on TikTok by a joke account where it is no longer publicly visible. Copies of the video with the TikTok watermark are circulating on other social media platforms.

The altered video clip appeared in a post (archived here) published on X by @theliamnissan on May 28, 2026. It is captioned:

Just listen to this gas bag rip some nasty old man farts

This is a screenshot from the post which shows the TikTok watermark of the @jokes4rent account.

At the time of writing on May 29, 2026, the original video is not visible on the @jokes4rent TikTok account (archived here). The style of the captioning in this video is consistent with other video published by @jokes4rent, suggesting this is the source of the edit and not simply a repost of the video clip.

A video of Trump's return to the White House (archived here) was posted on X on at 1:47 p.m. on May 25, 2026, by Kellie Meyer, a White House correspondent for NewsNation. The video posted by Meyer was filmed from a distance and shows Trump's return to the White House after the Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

The original audio contains some background sounds from the surrounding area, a mechanical hum, a bird singing, some distant sirens, and the muffled voice of someone calling, but there are no audible fart sounds in this footage.

Between one minute, 11 seconds and one minute, 19 seconds in the original video (embedded above), a muffled calling voice can be heard followed several seconds later by a distant siren. This serves as a point to compare the audio in the two videos. In the altered video (embedded below) the calling voice occurs at six seconds. This is followed by fake fart sounds, and then at 14 seconds the distant siren.
