We started the investigation by using a screenshot of this video by doing google reverse image. As a result, we received a video published by CNN published on 12th March 2016. The title of the video says “Trump on stage with a swarm of security personnel”. The narration of ‘Allah hu Akbar’ can not be heard in the video. Which means that audio has been added to the original video. 

According to NBC News, this incident took place in Dayton, Ohio, USA in May 2016, when an activist tried to breach the security buffer of Trump, due to which the security security service agents make a wall around him for his safety. It has been written in the news that “a spokesperson for this campaign said that a person started an incident in Dayton , Ohio. When he tried to breach Trump’s security but Trump’s security personnel were smart enough and immediately caught the person. Dayton Airport police Department’s Chief Mike told NBC News that the person was identified as 32-year-old Thomas Dimassimo and charges of disorderly conduct and indecency have been imposed on him. He tried to breach the security and climb to the platform by jumping on the bike rack, but the secret service agent stopped him there.
