Update: The Article’s title has been updated to add further clarification on the video being checked. The verdict remains unchanged.

A video shared on X purports to show President Donald Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump being booed at Super Bowl LIX.

Verdict: False

The original video is from January 2020 and shows Trump and his wife at the College Football National Championship. Clips shared on X and TikTok indicate Trump received both cheers and boos at Super Bowl LIX. His wife, Melania did not appear to attend this year’s Super Bowl.

Fact Check:

Trump attended Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, according to ABC News. Trump is the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, the outlet reported.

The X video purports to show Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump being booed at Super Bowl LIX. In the video, the pair walks onto the field amid apparent booing from the crowd. The video, which bears a label indicating it originally stems from TikTok, also features superimposed text reading, “Boo The Bast-rd.”

The claim is false, however. The original video is from January 2020 and shows Trump and his wife at the College Football National Championship. “President Donald Trump and wife Melania Trump receive an ovation at the College Football National Championship,” the video’s description reads. At no point in the video are Trump and his wife booed.

Likewise, a video clip of Trump attending Super Bowl LIX shared on X shows he received cheers from the crowd when he was shown on screen during the National Anthem. In the video, Trump can be seen saluting during the National Anthem while his eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, stands to his right. His wife, Melania Trump, does not appear to be present, however.

“WATCH: Cheers as Trump is shown saluting at tonight’s #SuperBowl,” the video’s caption reads.

Alternatively, a TikTok video captured from another angle shows some fans booing Trump during the National Anthem. Trump was also booed when he walked onto the field ahead of the game, with one individual yelling, “you’re an f–king traitor” at the current president, according to a video shared on X.

In addition, Trump did not reference the purported claim that he and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump were booed at Super Bowl LIX via his personal or government X accounts, his TRUTH Social account, or his verified social media accounts.

Furthermore, Lead Stories debunked the claim that the video of Trump and his wife was recent, indicating it showed them attending the College Football National Championship in 2020.
