After looking at your source it was a TikTok of Trump declaring that he was taking away pride month. When looking at your source on TikTok I found after deep research that your video was an AI generated video saying that he was going to ban pride month. 

After doing some research myself I found a news source from Reuters that wrote an article based on a fact check for this specific topic. Although Trump has signed many executive orders since being in office this January, he has not signed an order taking away pride month. "However, as of Jan. 31, Trump had not signed an order banning Pride Month. No such order can be found under the Presidential Actions." (Reuters, 2025). Your claim that Trump has canceled pride month is false.

This claim is blatantly false. The original claim uses an AI generated video of president Donald Trump, allegedly claiming June will now be called "confidence month". There have been no other credible sources report on this, and no official White House update related to the matter. The video shown is clearly AI, as shown by the unnatural speaking voice, head movements, and strangely zoomed camera angle. The latest article posted about Trump and Pride Month was posted in 2019 by NBC News, claiming that Trump had finally recognized June as Pride Month.

The claim that "Donald Trump canceled Pride Month" is false. There is no evidence that former President Trump ever signed an executive order or took formal action to cancel or ban Pride Month. This assertion has been debunked by reputable fact-checking organizations, including Reuters .YouTube+1Reuters+1Reuters

However, it's important to note that during his presidency, Trump did not issue official proclamations recognizing Pride Month in 2017, 2018, or 2020, breaking a tradition upheld by previous administrations . In 2019, he acknowledged Pride Month via a tweet, marking the first time a Republican president publicly recognized it in that manner .Snopes+3Politico+3Washington Blade+3Snopes

Additionally, the Trump administration implemented policies that were viewed by many as rolling back LGBTQ+ rights. These included banning transgender individuals from military service and directing U.S. embassies not to fly Pride flags during Pride Month . In his second term, further actions were taken, such as removing LGBTQ+ content from federal websites and canceling Pride-related events at institutions like the Kennedy Center .ThemTime+3Wikipedia+3Wikipedia+3Them+1Them+1

In summary, while Trump did not officially "cancel" Pride Month, his administration's actions reflected a departure from previous federal support and recognition of LGBTQ+ events and rights.
