A video of Donald Trump’s victory speech is being circulated with the claim that the crowd began chanting “Modi-Modi” during his address. However, this claim is completely false and fabricated. The crowd was actually chanting “Bobby-Bobby,” in support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the chant has no connection to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Sharing the video on X (Formerly Twitter) propagandist account @KreatelyMedia wrote. “Modi’s dominance in Trump’s victory speech, the crowd chants ‘Modi-Modi’ during victory speech by Donald John Trump”. As of now, the post has received more than 900k views, 23k likes and a significant number of engagements.
Another propaganda account @SaffronSunanda also shared the video and wrote. “Crowd chanting Modi Modi during Donald Trump’s victory speech, NAMO KA JALWA”

The truth about the viral video of Donald Trump’s victory speech, Fact Check
As soon as the posts containing the video and claims came to our notice. Subsequently, we conducted research and analysis of the video and found that the crowd chanted ‘Bobby-Bobby’, not ‘Modi-Modi’.
To verify the claims made by the users. We performed a reverse image search of some keyframes using Google Lens. This led us to a YouTube video containing the video speech uploaded on the YouTube channel ‘FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul’. In the video, Trump says, I just want to say that on behalf of this great group of people, these are hard-working people, these are fantastic people and we can add a few names like Robert F Kennedy Jr. And he is going to help make America healthy again. The crowd chants ‘Bobby-Bobby’
During the research, we also found the full transcript of Donald Trump’s address on a website called The Nightly, which clarified that the crowd was chanting “Bobby-Bobby.” Trump also referred to Robert Kennedy Jr. as “Bobby” multiple times during his speech.
Therefore, it is evident from verified sources that the crowd at Trump’s victory speech didn’t chant ‘Modi-Modi’. Actually, the crowd chanted Bobby-Bobby, a chant for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
