A video of President Trump walking toward a helicopter on the White House lawn then abruptly turning away that claims to show Trump is "deep into his degenerative neurological disease" has 2.7 million views on Twitter, although journalists were quick to point out the video leaves out key details.

Twitter on Monday added a "manipulated media" tag to the video, but allowed it to remain on the platform.

"Trump was simply walking back to wait for FLOTUS here," ABC News campaign reporter Will Steakin wrote on Twitter. "This false tweet has over 23K retweets and the deceptively edited video has over 2 million views."
