In a surprising turn of events, Donald Trump Jr.’s social media presence faced a major disruption as his account on X, formerly known as Twitter, was hacked.
Trump Jr’s hacked tweet
A spokesperson for the former president, Andrew Surabian, took to the platform on Wednesday to confirm the breach, stating unequivocally, “Don’s account has been hacked.” Amidst the chaos that ensued, a particularly bizarre and false post claimed that Donald Trump Sr. had passed away and that Trump Jr. would be running for president in 2024.
The hack swiftly propagated misinformation, with the fabricated news spreading like wildfire. Within minutes, the post garnered over 3,000 shares on X and attracted hundreds of thousands of views. One alarming tweet, falsely announcing Trump Sr.’s demise, even reached a staggering 1.1 million views before it was finally removed.
