Fact check: What was the date of the Trump and Obama meeting where the 'sit down boy' comment was allegedly made?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, no credible evidence exists for the alleged "sit down boy" comment made by Trump to Obama during any documented meeting. The sources consistently identify November 10, 2016 as the date when Trump and Obama met at the White House for their post-election transition meeting ^{[1] [2]}. This was described as their only "substantive conversation" and occurred on "Thursday after the election" ^{[1] [3]}.

Crucially, none of the analyzed sources contain any mention of the "sit down boy" comment occurring during this documented meeting or any other encounter between the two presidents. One source specifically references a "doctored clip from Trump's November 2016 visit to the White House with then-President Obama" ^[4], suggesting that fabricated content about this meeting has circulated online.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question assumes the existence of a meeting where this comment was made, but the analyses reveal significant missing context:

• The November 10, 2016 White House meeting was a standard presidential transition meeting, not an adversarial encounter where such inflammatory language would be expected ^{[1] [2]}
• Doctored video content has been created and circulated regarding Trump's interactions with Obama, indicating deliberate misinformation campaigns ^[4]
• The relationship between Trump and Obama has been characterized by "longtime rage" from Trump toward Obama, but this manifested in different ways than the alleged comment ^[1]
• Trump has made various accusations against Obama, including claims of "plotting against him" and "treason," but these occurred in different contexts ^[5]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains inherent bias by treating an unsubstantiated claim as fact. By asking for the "date" of when the comment was "allegedly made," it presupposes that such an incident occurred, when the evidence suggests otherwise.

This appears to be potential misinformation because:

• No credible sources document this comment despite extensive coverage of Trump-Obama interactions ^{[6] [1] [5] [3] [2] [7] [4] [8]}
• Doctored content has been specifically created about their November 2016 meeting ^[4]
• The question's framing could perpetuate false narratives about presidential interactions

Content creators and political operatives would benefit from spreading such inflammatory claims as they generate engagement, clicks, and reinforce partisan divisions, regardless of their truthfulness.
