Don Jr.'s younger brother joined in the mockery after his account on X, formerly Twitter, was hacked to share a series of bizarre posts, including one announcing that former President Trump had 'passed away.'

Eric Trump took to X to mock his brother, Donald Trump Jr., after Don Jr's account was hacked. The hackers falsely announced the death of their father, former President Donald Trump.

The post claimed that Donald Trump had passed away and that Trump Jr. would be running for president in 2024:


“I’m sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024.”

A spokesperson for the elder Trump confirmed that the posts were false and that Trump Jr.’s account had been hacked. The posts were subsequently removed, but news of the hacking spread on social media.

Andrew Surabien, a GOP strategist, said in a post on X that the "news" the former President died "is obviously not true."

Eric Trump soon after decided to roast his brother, humorously speculating about his brother’s password:

"What was @donaldtrumpjr password? Don2024?"

You can see his post below.

Others quickly joined in and the mockery was swift.



This incident is not the first time a member of the Trump family has been hacked and brings up new concerns regarding X's capacity to safeguard user profiles, particularly those of prominent political figures, as we approach the 2024 election.

In 2020, Dutch hacker Victor Gevers gained access to Donald Trump’s Twitter account, guessing the password was “maga2020!”. Nine years earlier, Gevers had hacked Trump’s account for the first time, using the password “yourefired,” a catchphrase from Trump’s time on The Apprentice.

X is currently being looked into by the Federal Trade Commission concerning its capability to safeguard user information and whether it may have breached the legally binding commitments it agreed to in 2011 to ensure the platform's security.

This inquiry initiated following a whistleblower disclosure by a former security chief who claimed there were widespread and unresolved security weaknesses.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
