A screenshot circulating on social media, claiming to be from Donald Trump‘s youngest son Barron Trump and suggesting he has earned the respect of those willing to sacrifice for the country, is not from an official account.
According to a Trump spokesperson, Barron Trump did not make such a statement, said a Reuters report.
The screenshot, shared on Facebook, includes a message that reads: “To those who may consider me ignorant, arrogant, or self-righteous: While I have no desire to prove myself to you, I want you to know that at just 18 years old, I have earned the respect of those who are ready to get sacrificed for our country.”
The post appears on an account named “Barron Trump New,” which is not affiliated with the Trump campaign.A representative from former First Lady Melania Trump’s office confirmed in an email that Barron Trump did not make this statement and currently has no active social media presence, according to a Reuters report.
