Donald Trump Jr.’s account on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter appeared to be hacked early Wednesday.

One post falsely stated that former President Donald Trump had died, according to screenshots.

“I’m sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024,” the tweet said. The former president appeared to prove that he was still alive by posting an unrelated message on Truth Social later in the morning.

Does he have a blue check mark? It can't be fake if there is a checkmark.
