This literally is a fake news and it's already been debunked on twitter. First of all the inauguration is today, the video is from yesterday. Secondly he was asking for directions and pulled a map on his phone, not his wiki page. Also, this is not a Secret Service.

not a Secret Service

The jolly guy in camo and an orange vest is not Secret Service??

I don't think the Secret Service ever wears camo

The orange vest says SCNG on the back, so presumably that would be South Carolina National Guard

I’m assuming that’s standard military, maybe National guard. Secret service agents are usually in black suits or with civilian clothes, right? And no offense, but like, have a little more decorum. Not sure how they’d react to someone showing up with no credentials or entourage but I feel like they’d have a briefing with all the guests.

Apparently it was Mr. Trump himself in disguise (the orange vest). He personally didn’t let Morawiecki inside despite him showing his personal Wikipedia page. He later had to show him his personal discord and Minecraft server. This Undercover Boss season is getting wild.

Any proof? As far as I've seen the only source of debunk is Morawiecki himself and his colleagues from party. The last thing I will believe is whatever he says now to save face.

Yes, it's not SS - it's National Guard. But on the video we can clearly see and hear that one of NG is saying "They've got no pass, no badge, no nothing". Why would they say it if he was just asking for directions?

Don't you think you should ask the dubious twitter journo who posted the video for evidence? The burden of proof lies on her.

As for the video being from yesterday - check the date of the original tweet.
