Fact Check: Video Shows Donald Trump With Mullet Hairstyle Dancing on 'Soul Train'?

Claim:
A video authentically shows then-future U.S. President Donald Trump with a mullet hairstyle, dancing on "Soul Train."

Rating:
Miscaptioned (About this rating?)

Context:
The video is authentic and displayed no signs of someone doctoring the clip. However, the mulleted, dancing man was not Trump.

Ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, TikTok users shared a rumor claiming a video showed former President Donald Trump dancing on an episode of "Soul Train," the musical variety TV show that aired from 1971 to 2006.

For example, one TikTok post sharing the clip on July 12, 2024, received more than 1.4 million views. The video's onscreen caption read, "Donald Trump when he danced on 'Soul Train.'"

The same video with the mention of Trump's name also appeared in the past on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. The music the man was dancing to varied from video to video, as the the social media users altered the soundtrack.

The 45th president has been known to dance following some of his rallies, and to have busted a move with noteworthy figures in decades past, too.

However, no, that's not Trump dancing on "Soul Train."

While we realize some users probably knew that the video didn't show Trump and that they were simply sharing it as a humorous joke, we received several emails from readers who wanted to find the source of the footage.

On Sept. 11, 2017, a user on the platform then known as Twitter posted the same video, except with the original audio and a clearer picture. The user did not mention Trump's name.

The song in the original video was "Why Should I Cry" by Nona Hendryx. The moment from the video appeared on "Soul Train" on May 2, 1987.
According to Fandom.com, the episode was No. 25 during the show's 16th season.

A search of the Getty Images website for pictures of Trump between 1985 and 1989 showed he never had hair as long as the man with the mullet, nor was he quite so thin at the time.

In our research, we located on YouTube the full segment from the "Soul Train" episode. The unidentified man with the mullet shows up at the 2:04 mark:

⁣VfB makes a big deal in regards to the 'time bomb' scene, but previous to that, there is another scene that should demand your attention...once you understand what it is you are watching

Right before Bagradian and Dunbar perform the 'time bomb' scene, Harry Shapiro and Animal are requested to serve tea to the two newly captured officers

This is a MOCKERY of the starvation imposed upon Germany at the war's end, as the supply lines were bombed

INSULT TO INJURY

Regardless, STALAG 17 is the only war film VfB recommends [PLATOON is my alternate], so please enjoy the craft, and be amused at the then-nascent attempt at colorization

SOME CLASSIC COLORIZED SCENES FROM THIS AMAZING FILM.
ALSO FEATURING ROBERT STRAUSS AS "ANIMAL", HARVEY LEMBECK AS HARRY SHAPIRO, PETER GRAVES AS PRICE AND NEVILLE BRAND AS DUKE. RELEASED IN 1953 AND STILL GREAT NOW!

My aunt had a cat and then one night it just was gone she never let it outside it was just gone. 7 years later The cat comes walking out of the master bedroom! After 7 years of being missing! There's some weird things that happen!

that first one probably legit. I've been having shit dissappear and reappear for the past two years just to show me. It's 🤯 but in hindsight you ever dig in a jacket pocket to find something but it's not there only to find it there later? And we all just brush it off......DON'T BRUSH IT OFF PAY ATTENTION!! 🤯🤯🤯

and the toddler with the Christmas ornament and the one at the end. Where did the woman go in the people behind Scarlett Johannsen... If you pay attention, there was a woman that was supposed to be between the two guys.
