Does a viral video show Donald Trump Jr. opening a pack with a white substance at President Trump's birthday UFC event at the White House? No, that's not true: The clip did not offer evidence that it was him or show that person's face. Available images from the gathering show that, unlike the man from the video, Trump Jr. did not wear a tie that day.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) published on X by @YourAnonNews on June 16, 2026. It read:
On camera, Don Jr. pulls out a little baggie with white powder at his father's birthday party.
This is what a thumbnail image from the video attached to the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

The 13-second clip showed a man with a light, probably pink tie pulling something out of his blazer and then opening it. The video did not offer a clear close-up of the object to identify what it was, and the man's head was not in the frame.
Donald Trump's 80th birthday took place on June 14, 2026, and he celebrated it (archived here) watching a UFC Freedom 250 fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
Members of the president's family also attended.
Available photos (archived here), however, do not show Trump Jr. wearing any tie at all. Michael Boulos, who is married to Trump's daughter Tiffany Trump (archived here), wore a pink tie to the event (archived here), though Lead Stories could not confirm he was the person shown in the video.
