However, the video has been edited. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found that President Trump's walkout song was not a Kanye West song, but Lee Greenwood's “God Bless the USA.” The video was live-streamed by right-wing media outlet RSBN, where the original X footage appears to have been shot.
