Shared to Twitter by the president on Thursday evening, the post played off of an old viral video showing two toddlers, one black and one white, as they run to embrace one another. Parodying the adorable clip, Trump’s tweet features a mock CNN chyron captioned “Terrified toddler runs from racist baby.”  

Twitter, however, apparently decided that netizens would have a hard time telling actual CNN news coverage from the satirical clip, warning users that the video may have been “manipulated.”  Indeed. 

According to the platform’s guidelines, the flag indicates that the content might have been “deceptively altered or fabricated.”

Following the tag, Trump’s critics ran a victory lap – or several of them – declaring the post another example of ‘fake news’ endorsed by the commander in chief, presumably taking the video to be a sincere effort to doctor a CNN broadcast (it would seem that Twitter knows its audience, after all).
