- Eric Trump posted a video of a crowd next to Trump Tower waiting for him
- Joe Biden supporters claimed this was actually a crowd for the president in April.
- But more videos from different angles showed that it was indeed from Tuesday.
Joe Biden’s supporters thought they had caught Eric Trump in an embarrassing mistake by confusing a crowd of his father’s supporters with those of the president.
But it turned out that the Twitter mob that came after Donald Trump’s middle son was comically wrong.
Eric Trump shared video of a crowd lining the streets of Manhattan on Tuesday that he said was supporting his father after his trial.
‘It was such a beautiful scene returning to Trump Tower! What incredible love!’ he wrote.
Within hours, the post was being mockingly retweeted and had ‘community notes’ attached declaring it was the wrong people.
The fight continued until Trump’s deputy communications director, Margo Martin, revealed that she was the one who filmed the video.
The video showed the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 56th Street, which is right next to Trump Tower.

“It is a video of a crowd that gathered for President Biden in April, when he visited Howard Stern in New York,” the note said.
The fight continued until Trump’s deputy communications director, Margo Martin, revealed that she was the one who filmed the video.

Another video from Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, recorded from another car in the caravan, also showed the exact same scene, with the same man and the same green crane.
“The only liars here are you and Joe Biden,” he wrote in response to one of former NBC executive Mike Sington’s tweets.
‘I took this video of President Trump’s motorcade outside Trump Tower. Here is the time stamped screenshot of my phone to prove it.
Not everyone believed him, but more people began posting footage from different angles proving that Martin’s video was from a Trump crowd from Tuesday.
C-SPAN video from behind the crowd showed people wearing identical clothing and accessories, including one wearing a red Trump MAGA hat.

The same people as in the Martin and C-SPAN video were present, along with a green crane in the background of both videos.
When they were proven wrong, the community notes disappeared and Sington, among others, deleted his mocking tweets.
