A mysterious video showing an object being tossed out of an upper-level window at the White House is going viral, with social media users suggesting the thrower could have been Melania Trump.
The footage shows an unknown individual throwing an object from the top window on the side of the White House to the ground below.
The clip circulating online did not have any context around the date and time the footage was taken.
The White House confirmed to the Daily Mail that the video was indeed recent.
An official said that an object was thrown out of the window by ‘a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the president was gone.’
The president was out of the White House for the majority of the weekend as he golfed at his Sterling, Virginia, course over the Labor Day holiday.
As unverified rumors circulate surrounding President Donald Trump’s health, the video helped fuel the flames of those concerns.
According to Newsweek, the video was originally circulated on Instagram from an account called Washingtonian Problems. The account claims the footage of the White House was submitted to them anonymously.
Users on social media suggested that First Lady Melania Trump could have been behind the unusual event.

‘Given that women usually throw things out of windows, would safe to say that this is a very mad female,’ a user wrote on X, continuing, ‘and females do this when they really want answers.’
‘Was Melania in Washington DC today?’ they went on.
Another social media user wrote, ‘maybe Melania is mad that he’s not dead too,’ referring to the viral speculation about the president’s health.
Melania was not known to be at the White House over the weekend as she’s been spending the majority of her time in New York with her son Barron back at New York University.
Media pundits have been speculating about the whereabouts of the president in the last few days after he spent much of the weekend away from the cameras playing golf.
Critics of the White House have called for full transparency on the bruising on Trump’s hands in recent weeks.
Last month, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Trump has been diagnosed with ‘chronic venous insufficiency,’ which is a ‘common condition’ in individuals over the age of 70.
There is ‘no evidence’ of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease and the president ‘remains in excellent health,’ Leavitt said overall.
Leavitt has said Trump’s hand bruising is ‘consistent’ with irritation from his ‘frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.’
Furthermore, users online were quick to point out that the windows at the top of the White House had been sealed shut following the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attack. The Daily Mail could not confirm these reports.
‘People don’t realize that this is weird because after 9/11 the windows were all replaced with sealed bullet proof windows including in the residence,’ wrote X user Adam Cochran.
‘To throw something out the window, means taking the window out of the window pane itself. BUT, security protocol says that contractors can’t have access to the residence while the President is staying at the White House,’ Cochran added.
‘Why is someone throwing objects out the damn window at the White House?’ asked U.S. veteran of the Ukrainian Armed Forces John Jackson on X.
‘This makes zero sense under any normal circumstances. The media needs to get answers, even if just from a security perspective. What the hell is the Secret Service doing?’
Others users speculated the items being thrown out of the White House could be trash.

‘Possible coverup? Interesting that’s it’s timed with his recent absence from the public.’
Without direct confirmation from the White House, users online will continue to speculate and offer unconfirmed theories.
