A video from Donald Trump's victory speech on Wednesday has gone viral. Some users on social media are claiming the crowd chanted "Modi!
However, this claim is fake.
The crowd was actually chanting "Bobby, Bobby!" in response to Trump's mention of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Trump was discussing "making America healthy again" and praised Kennedy as a "great guy." This sparked a supportive chant of "Bobby, Bobby!" from the audience.

However, social media users interpreted this chant as "Modi, Modi".
Further investigation, including reviews of extended versions of the video and comments, clearly indicates that "Bobby" was the actual chant in response to Trump's mention of Kennedy.

Trump even made a lighthearted joke, telling Kennedy to "stay away from the liquid gold" about the U.S.'s oil reserves, adding a personal touch to his praise.
The claim that the crowd chanted "Modi" is false; the chant was directed toward Robert F. Kennedy Jr., not the Indian Prime Minister.
