Trump Tower, Las Vegas right now. pic.twitter.com/krtF1T3t0T — Paul Lahticks (@PaulLahticks) July 28, 2022 This is false indeed: this video has been doctored to include a fabricated Greenpeace banner, Mehdi Leman, a spokesperson for Greenpeace, confirmed to Check Your Fact in an email. Leman also pointed to previous comments Greenpeace made to other fact-checkers, such as Reuters , about how the sign was not used by Greenpeace. This is not the first time such a sign has been digitally fabricated on a building owned by Trump. Check Your Fact previously debunked a claim that Greenpeace unfurled a banner from the same tower criticizing the former president’s immigration policies.
