The Viral Trump and Combs Interview: Separating Fact from Fiction
Recently, a viral video claiming to show an interview between former President Trump and Sean “Diddy” Combs has been circulating online. The video depicts the two engaging in a conversation, with Trump even complimenting Combs at one point. However, upon further investigation, it has been revealed that this video is fake.
Our team verified that the footage in question was created by splicing together clips from separate interviews conducted by journalist Charlie Rose. The segments featuring Trump were taken from a 1992 interview, while Combs’ clips were from a 1999 interview with Rose. The creator of the video, Jonas Hollerup Helle, admitted to using existing interviews to craft a fabricated conversation between the two individuals.
The Verdict: Not Real
While Trump and Combs have been photographed together in the past, the viral interview video is a cleverly edited hoax. By comparing the fake video to the original interviews, similarities in background, clothing, and speech were identified. It is essential to scrutinize online content and question its authenticity to prevent the spread of misinformation.
