President Donald Trump on Tuesday responded to a video that appears to show an object being tossed out of a White House upper floor window.

Footage uploaded on multiple news websites and platforms appeared to show a person tossing items from a top-floor window to the ground floor. The clip was originally posted to an Instagram account and showed a person with white pants tossing what appears to be a black bag, at one point. Later, a person is seen tossing an item that is white and long out the window, according to the video.

When asked about the video in the Oval Office, Trump told reporters that the video is “probably AI-generated.”

“You can’t open the windows. You know why? They’re all heavily armored and bulletproof,” he said, as he looked at a smartphone video that was being held by Fox News’ Peter Doocy. “I know every window up there,” he added, saying that “those windows are sealed.”

Trump also suggested it would be foolish to toss an object from the window because “there’s cameras everywhere.”

The Epoch Times contacted the White House for comment on Tuesday.

In recent weeks, Trump has initiated renovations inside the White House and around the grounds of the property. This month, construction will start on a White House ballroom that will feature ornate designs and “carefully crafted space,” the administration has said.

Trump announced on Saturday that a contractor who was working on the Rose Garden damaged a piece of stone and posted a video of the incident, saying that he will “never let that contractor work at the White House again.”

Trump spent Sunday and the Labor Day holiday on Monday at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia.

The president was also asked about rumors regarding Trump’s health on Tuesday, and he responded that “it’s so fake.” He also said that he “didn’t see that” when a reporter asked about the rumors, adding that he was ”very active, actually, over the weekend.”

“I didn’t hear that one, that’s pretty serious stuff ... it’s so fake,” he said.

On Aug. 31, Trump appeared to respond to the rumors about his health in a post on Truth Social by writing, “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.”

Last week, Vice President JD Vance also said that the president is in good health and indicated that he would step up if anything happens. In July, Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition in older adults.

“The president is in incredibly good health,” he said during an Aug. 29 USA Today interview. “I feel very confident the president of the United States is in good shape, is going to serve out the remainder of his term and do great things for the American people.”

On Tuesday, he spoke at the Oval Office to announce that the U.S. Space Command’s headquarters will be moved to Alabama from Colorado and that he would soon send in federal assets to deal with crime in Chicago.
