Former President Donald Trump is alive and well, despite a series of chaotic tweets from his eldest son, Don Jr. on Wednesday between 8:40 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.
The eldest son’s Twitter account was reportedly hacked and numerous fake messages were sent to his followers.
Trump did not die at the age of 77. Also not true: Don Jr. is not running for president. And North Korea is not about “to get smoked.”
The series of tweets caused a brief firestorm on social media until his account was restored and the posts were deleted.
Don Jr. appears to have regained control of the account after the chaos and deleted the faked claim.
But you can take a look at them below. The most attention-getting was the claim that the 45th president had died… and that his son would run in his place.

The chaos-inducing tweet was followed up four minutes later by a tweet about disgraced pedophile rapist Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein, a billionaire who rubbed elbows with the global elite for decades, died under mysterious circumstances in a New York City jail while awaiting trial.

The account then blasted President Joe Biden.
It later pinned this tweet to the top of Don. Jr.’s page.

8 minutes later, the account posted —

The account teased YouTube content creator and amateur boxer Logan Paul.

And in the final message before order was restored, the account posted, “This just in: North Korea is about to get smoked”
Take a look —

Minutes later the tweets were deleted.
Don Jr., back in control, went back to posting his normal content.
