A video that surfaced online appears to show someone tossing items from an upper-floor window of the White House.
President Donald Trump addressed the footage on Tuesday, calling it “probably AI-generated.”
“You can’t open the windows. You know why? They’re all heavily armored and bulletproof,” Trump said in the Oval Office while viewing the clip on Fox News reporter Peter Doocy’s phone. “I know every window up there,” he added, emphasizing that “those windows are sealed.”
He also remarked that throwing anything from the White House would be unwise, noting that “there’s cameras everywhere.”
The video, first posted on Instagram, showed a person in white pants tossing what appeared to be a black bag, followed by another clip of a long, white object being thrown.
Recent weeks have seen renovations at the White House. Construction is set to begin this month on a new ballroom with elaborate designs and what the administration described as “carefully crafted space.” Trump recently shared that a contractor damaged stonework in the Rose Garden, declaring the company would “never work at the White House again.”
Trump spent Sunday and Labor Day at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia.
When asked about health rumors on Tuesday, he dismissed them as “so fake.” Trump said he was “very active, actually, over the weekend” and added, “I didn’t hear that one, that’s pretty serious stuff … it’s so fake.”
On August 31, he wrote on Truth Social, “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.”
Vice President JD Vance also reassured the public last week, saying, “The president is in incredibly good health. I feel very confident the president of the United States is in good shape, is going to serve out the remainder of his term and do great things for the American people.” Trump was diagnosed in July with chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition in older adults.
Later Tuesday, Trump announced that the U.S. Space Command’s headquarters will move from Colorado to Alabama and that federal assets would soon be sent to address crime in Chicago.
