Did girl tell President Trump he was “disgrace to the world”? Fact Check
A video claims to show a young girl telling President Trump that he is a “disgrace to the world” as the president tried to pose with her for a photo.

The video doesn’t actually show President Trump, rather it’s an impersonator named Anthony Atamanuik, who was performing for his satirical show The President Show, shown on Comedy Central. The Comedy Central logo can be seen in the top corner in most instances of the video.
The video of Atamanuik and the girl in the video was taken from a segment of the show where the president releases his tax returns as shredded paper to a large audience of protesters. A fuller segment of the show can be seen here, with the girl making an appearance around the 1.30 mark.
