The now-removed clip is from a video that went viral last year which shows a Black child and a White child running to hug each other. The version posted to Trump's account made it first appear as if the Black child was running away from the White child.
Jukin Media, a company that represents creators of videos including the parent who owns this video, said in a statement provided to CNN Business Friday afternoon, "Neither the video owner nor Jukin Media gave the president permission to post the video, and after our review, we believe that his unauthorized usage of the content is a clear example of copyright infringement without valid fair use or other defense."
Jukin said in its statement that it had submitted a takedown request to Twitter. Jukin did not confirm it had sent the takedown request to Facebook, but Andy Stone, a Facebook spokesperson, said "We received a copyright complaint from the rights holder of this video under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and have removed the post."
Twitter also confirmed it removed the video following a copyright claim.
It was a video to show how the media falsifies stories. It was a demonstration. At first you see an evil white kid chasing a black kid, but when you dont have the fake news edited version, if shows them hugging and running around together. Why are you mad at Trump for making that point?
President Donald Trump's current 39% job approval rating marks a four-percentage-point decline since February, when his ratings nearly reached record highs.
