Donald Trump Jr.’s X account was hacked sometime Wednesday morning.
Shortly before 8:30 a.m. EST, Trump Jr.’s account claimed former President Donald Trump had passed away.
“I’m sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away,” the hacker wrote. “I will be running for president in 2024.”
The account also changed Trump Jr.’s bio to read “F— Joe Biden.”

The account made a series of other posts impersonating the former President’s son.
“F— Joe Biden,” read one post slamming President Biden. “Stupid a– n—a.”
In another post, the account tagged a man named Richard Heart saying he was innocent.
“When I become president I am going to burn the SEC,” the post continued.

The account appeared to acknowledge it was hacked saying there were “interesting messages with Jeffrey Epstein” in another post.
“This just in: North Korea is about to get smoked,” the account wrote shortly after.
Another user referenced the former President’s 2019 visit with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un saying, “aren’t your dad and Kim best friends?”
“idgaf n—a,” the account responded.
At some point, the account changed Trump Jr.’s bio again by simply adding a Compact Disc (CD) emoji.
The account also tagged YouTube influencer Logan Paul saying “I also f—ed your girl btw.”
As of 9 a.m. EST, the account appears to have deleted the posts, though the CD emoji still remains in Trump Jr.’s bio.
It is unclear if Trump Jr.’s account access and security has been restored.
