Donald Trump’s death hoax spread after Trump Jr.’s Twitter was hacked 2023

Many people were confused after a hoax spread quickly that former president Donald Trump had died due to a post shared on the Twitter account of his son, Donald Trump Jr. – which was compromised.

Donald Trump Jr. has increased his social media following significantly with 10.4 million followers on Twitter/X alone.

However, the larger your account, the more ripe the target for being hacked and used to spread scams, trolls, or other malicious messages.

After Trump Jr.’s account was taken over, one of the posts claimed that his father, former president Donald Trump, had passed away.

Is Donald Trump dead? Twitter hack sparks rumors

No, Donald Trump is not dead. Trump Jr’s X/Twitter was hacked on September 20, 2023, and the person behind it posted a now-deleted tweet claiming that the former president had “passed away.”

The post also claims that Donald Trump Jr. will run for president in 2024.

“I am saddened to announce that my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will run for president in 2024,” the tweet read. At the time of writing, neither the former president nor his son have commented on this tweet.

That wasn’t the only thing tweeted during the hack, either. Whoever took over Trump Jr.’s account also mentioned the ongoing drama between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis, in which Dillon Danis posted photos of Logan’s fiancee, Nina Agdal.

“I fell in love with your girl with Logan Paul too,” the now-deleted tweet said.

Nina also recently sued Dillon Danis and got a restraining order for harassment. Danis and Paul will step into the ring together on October 14 on the main card alongside KSI and Tommy Fury.
