Does a real video show Donald Trump making kissy faces and sounds in front of former White House press secretary and Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders? No, that's not true: The claim appeared on an X account known for satirical content, and it acknowledged in a reply post that the video is a parody. Lead Stories found no credible news coverage of any such incident, and the original video the parody was based on does not show it.
The claim appeared in a post on X (archived here) by the @PaulleyTicks account on X on Sept. 19, 2026. It read:
BREAKING: President Trump inexplicably appears to harass Sarah Huckabee Sanders for wearing a very clingy top.
This is what a screenshot of the video in the post looked like at the time of writing:

In a response to their own post (archived here) on Sept. 19, 2026, @PaulleyTicks acknowledged that the video was fake. It read:
And should any hillbilly Trump voters wander onto my page in a drunken stupor and think this is real; it is NOT.
It is PARODY that satires ole monkey-face's low swinging cow teets.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
