The first clue that this footage might have been altered is this shot:




Appears to be a regular church sign, right? Nope. The text is clearly overlaid on the sign. It's too saturated and bright and does not blend in well with the surrounding shot.

Let's take a look at this side-by-side comparison shot next:






In the real image on the left, if you look closely, you can see that Donald Trump is just standing there. In the image on the right, however, you can see that the footage has been digitally altered to show Trump shooting news outlets in the face. If you enhance the image, you can clearly see that Trump's neck is a little bit out of alignment with the body of the actor from the original footage. 

Our verdict? Doctored footage.
