However, as we investigated, we came to know that the claim is False. The tweet was not made from the official X handle of Donald Trump. Here’s the fact check.
Fact Check
We started our investigation by conducting a relevant keyword search but we could not find any such tweet from Donald Trump on his official X handle.
The official X handle of Donald J Trump is “@realDonaldTrump”.
On the other hand, in the viral screenshot, the name of the account was “Donald J Trump Par…” (@thedonaldtrumph).
We searched for this account and it turned out to be a parody account. The full name on this account was written as “Donald J Trump Parody“.
The bio section mentioned it to be a fan account managed by an X user Ashwini Shrivastava (@AshwiniSahaya). The viral tweet was there on this Parody account of Donald Trump.
Going through the X handle of Ashwini Shrivastava, we found his tweet on 6 November 2024 where he wrote, “Hello, everyone! How are my replies from @thedonaldtrumph to Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi, @JustinTrudeau & Khalistanis?
Some people are claiming this account @thedonaldtrumph is run by the BJP IT Cell, but I’m definitely not part of the IT Cell.
Yet, I think I’ve done more damage to RaGa and Trudeau than any IT Cell could.”
However, we found Rahul Gandhi’s tweet on 6 November 2024 congratulating Donald Trump on his victory.
This makes it clear that the viral screenshot is actually from a Parody account of Donald Trump managed by a fan.
Conclusion
From our investigation, we can say that the claim is false. The tweet in the viral screenshot, where Donald Trump is calling Rahul Gandhi a Soros Agent, is not from the real X handle of Donald Trump. It’s a parody account of Donald Trump managed by a fan.
