I would not be surorised if both situations were taped, probably multiple times, and how can you tell them apart without a program?

and you will see a guy in a yellow shirt looking at his cell phone; his back to the camera. I thought perhaps he was taping the action and if it was a fake, you would then see what was really happening, i.e. a sports game. However, I enlarged it and it just looks like he's looking at some buildings on his phone. He's not recording what's happening in the room. But why would he be holding the phone that way? Odd.

Another thought is it could possibly be watching other media coverage of trump leaving. Many others up in that section of the bar are also recording, so it seems like an event that a number of people thought worth recording, while the others in the lower section are more interested in cheering.

At that same point of .14, look up on the wall and there is another tv with trump's face on it. It seems in keeping with the blurriness in that section of the video. It also would match the tv in the other section of the bar.

If it's a fake, that was a rather clever addition. Why bother with a second TV? This part kinda' makes me think it might be the real deal.

Here's another question: under what circumstances would everyone in the bar be cheering the same thing? I don't know anything about sports bars, so I have no idea. Just a question worth asking.

Sports bars can be gathering spots for certain team's fans. It's great fun.
