Many viewers shared and responded to the video as if it depicted a genuine confrontation between the President of the United States and a young girl:

However, the interaction was actually taken from a bit staged for The President's Show, a Comedy Central series starring actor Anthony Atamanuik as President Trump. The scene falls at the 1:30 mark of the following video:
Atamanuik claimed on Twitter that the moment was genuine and unscripted:
@najahtaa I'm the guy playing Trump from the @PresidentShow and that little girl was brave, funny and smart. Also, she said that if her own volition.
