EDIT: I now firmly consider this tweet FAKE NEWS.
Tweet in question (EDIT: Incidentally, the account now advertises Trump Rallies for the 20th, and we're pretty sure we didn't receive that call):
rabertpetrosian @rabertpetrosian
Due to security issues, the president Trump asked his family and friends to leave the White House tonight#trump#WhiteHouse#family
https://twitter.com/rabertpetrosian/status/1350663149012344832 Take this twitter post with a huge rock of salt. Here is my analysis of the tweet.
First, "rabertpetrosian" posts a video of AF1: since this is an emergency and military situation with strict protocols, he would probably not be allowed to film and post this anyway.
Second, The clip is way too short to verify any other details than "AF1 is preparing for take-off": who's to say that this wasn't taken during a more peaceful time when a reporter got carried away at being so close to AF1?
Third, The language of the tweet itself is suspect. Who writes "Due to security issues" to describe a threat to the family? Why would they then publicly post that there's a threat anyway? Then there's "the president Trump", which is bad formatting of the name "President Trump'".
Fourth, The #tags are not separated.
Fifth, The account name is poorly formatted. It should not be identical to the twitter handle if it were a professional account.
Sixth, The name itself. Rabert is a rare Scots form of the name Robert, and Petrosian is an Armenian surname. These are two very disparate cultures and would make this a very unique if not unlikely combination. A Google search for Rabert Petrosian produces very few results (less than 2000) for someone hired to be WH journalist. There are, however, over a hundred thousand hits for "Robert Petrosian".
Seventh, Finally and more likely, there's the possibility that a foreign agent is ghost-writing for an non-existent person. This person demonstrates a poor understanding of the English Language. I'm suspecting that this is likely to be a Chinese writer, as bad Chinese transliterations can often change the vowels of an English word, in this case from "Robert" to "Rabert", and native Chinese speakers have difficulty with using the particle "the".

Check out his TikTok. There's much more insider video footage there.

Now that's even more suspect. His earliest TikTok is a weird static photo transition where he apparently is standing beside Trump. Assuming it is not photoshopped (it looks hella photoshopped), there is a huge discrepancy: the TikTok was first posted by a "Robert Yakupyan".
This name later changes to "Robert Yakubyan"
Hence the transformations:
"Robert Yakupyan"
"Robert Yakubyan"
"Rob Yaghoubian"
"Rab Yaghoubian"
"Rab Yaghubyan"
"Rabert Yaghubyan"
"Rabert Petrosian"
Now I'm not sure about his circumstances, but that's a lot of name changes. Most people never do change their name so often, as it's a huge inconvenience. There are also only static photos of himself as far as I can tell. There's also almost no way to verify that that's himself taking the footage and travelling with the entourage. Additionally, I thought that the US government is forbidden from using TikTok as it is a security vulnerability, due in no small part to China. As far as I know, this identity is manufactured.
EDIT: I dug deeper by searching each name variation. I found that this person was at one time advertised to have worked for the Washington Post, as this person pointed out (he was also highly suss about the guy):

Washington Post TikTok Guy At Sea ?☠️ @davejorgenson
13 Nov 2020
Some people on TikTok believe this guy is an actual Post reporter

I would argue this is yet another good reason to be on TikTok - to combat misinformation from someone like this with 171k followers
14 Nov 2020
He doesn’t even go here
17 Nov 2020
The handle changed from @rabert_yaghubyan to @rab_yaghubyan. The profile changed from "Washington Post" to "washingtonpost"
TikTok hasn't taken any action.
Also his profile pic is super sketch. I found two identical faces photoshopped onto two different bodies, one as seen here on Pinterest and another as seen here on YouTube and the above Twitter thread:

(With this I believe now that he changes his name so frequently because of how much his account gets "called out", and because they're stupid they don't realise that changing his name bit by bit like this just makes it more suss.)
Vet this tweet carefully. Actually no, consider this tweet FAKE NEWS. To me it stinks of a foreign actor looking to sow disinformation, to discredit or sow disagreements in our side, and to shake anyone's confidence in DJT and his family's safety.
The entire twitter account looks fake anyway.
Agreed!! Passed right by that post!!
