Verdict: False

This post was not made by Barron Trump, who does not have any active social media presence.

Fact Check: 

Donald Trump’s son has been advising him on what podcast appearances to make in order to sway undecided voters in the 2024 election, according to The Telegraph. His father’s press advisor said Barron Trump’s recommendations have been “absolute ratings gold,” the outlet reported.

An X image allegedly shows a post from Trump, the account’s title saying “Real Barron Trump” and showing a headshot of him for the profile picture. It also appears to show a photo of Harris kneeling in front of Donald Trump, who is sitting in a chair.

“My Dad is going to Wipe the Floor with this Wh*ORE Today. #debate #debate2024 #Trump,” the caption reads.

“What kind of upbringing did this kid get to even think it’s ok to post this?” the caption reads. (RELATED: No, Barron Trump Did Not Make This Post About Earning Respect At 18 Years Old)

This is not a genuine post from Barron Trump. The account that originally made the post, @Barron_HQ has been suspended, but does not belong to him. There is a similarly-named account called @barron_trump_hq, which is still active at the time of writing and identifies itself as “a fan page.” Check Your Fact has reached out to this account to determine if it is affiliated with the suspended one.  

A Melania Trump spokesperson told Reuters in August that her son does not have any social media presence. 

The image appearing to show Harris kneeling in front of Donald Trump is 97.8% likely to have been created with artificial intelligence (AI), according to AI image detector Hive Moderation.
