      It looks real to me. The reactions aren’t large, and maybe the shart noise at 0:34 could have been edited in, but… it all fit together with the way Trump and staff suddenly rushed the press out of the room.

        AI told me it was actually a chair sliding off screen and said it was visible in other videos but it couldn’t link me to the exact point.

        As much as I don’t like Trump either, I continue to doubt this claim without further evidence

          0:35 is the alleged shart. Within seconds he’s trying to wrap it up. At 0:39 he’s suddenly trying to immediately wrap it up. At 0:42 the woman in green arguably reacts. More reactions from the woman in green again at 0:47 and 0:53. At 0:51 he literally gestures the press out of the room without actually moving from his chair.

          If this was a grand jury, you’d get an indictment for sure. It could not be a shart, but it looks like a shart, sounds like a shart, and the woman in green smells it like a shart.

            Yeah to me this fits under “a good chance but we’ll probably never know for sure.”

            Of note is that the video came from right aligned news, so the odds of a malicious edit are very low.
