Former President Donald Trump shared a misleading video on his Truth Social platform that appears to depict King Charles reacting disrespectfully to a fainting worker. The edited footage omits the King's full response to the incident.
The video shared by Trump shows a montage of clips where he is seen honoring troops, veterans, and law enforcement. Interspersed is a clip that seems to show King Charles shrugging and walking away from a man who fainted during a royal visit.
However, the original, unedited footage shows that when the man fell, Charles, then Prince of Wales, reached out to him and remained nearby as the worker received medical attention. This context was removed in the video Trump amplified.
The clip of the King was filmed in July 2020 during a visit to an Asda supermarket distribution center in Bristol, England, when Charles was on an official tour.
Mixed with the edited clip of the King were other videos showing world leaders appearing disrespectful, contrasted with clips of Trump engaged in patriotic and supportive activities.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the video. The White House has not issued a response to requests for comment.
