Thought for 7 seconds
That dramatic clip is almost certainly a deepfake or AI-generated manipulation — it’s not authentic. Multiple reputable fact‑checking organizations, including PesaCheck and Dubawa, have examined versions of this video (often shared with sensational headlines involving Traoré facing off with Trump or Kash Patel) and found them to be digitally manipulated boatos.org+4pesacheck.org+4pesacheck.org+4.
Why experts say it’s fake
| Evidence | Details |
|---|---|
| Audio–visual mismatches | Lip-sync and tonal inconsistencies flagged by experts like PesaCheck are classic signs of deepfakes . |
| Deepfake detection tools | PesaCheck reported detection scores as high as 98.9% for AI-manipulation and 91% likelihood of AI-generated audio . |
| Reverse-image searches | Keyframes match earlier, unrelated Trump speeches (e.g., voter mobilization content from September 2024), not any meeting with Traoré . |
| No credible news coverage | There are no records in mainstream or official news sources of Trump interacting with Traoré or Patel in the manner described . |
Bottom line
All available evidence shows these YouTube clips are fabrications — created with AI. They use real footage of people like Trump or Traoré, but clone voices, overlay false dialogue, and edit visuals to create a convincing but entirely false narrative.
So yes, the interaction is fake — not a real exchange, interview, or debate.
What to do
- Be cautious with clip titles like “Trump panics” or “Traoré fires back” — they’re designed for clicks, not accuracy.
- If a video seems inflammatory or surprising, try checking sites like PesaCheck, Dubawa, AFP Fact Check, or Boatos for verification.
- Use caution before sharing: better to verify than amplify misinformation.
