**Barron Trump Accused of Running Official White House Social Media After Maduro’s Arrest**

Melania and Donald Trump’s 19-year-old son, Barron Trump, has recently faced accusations of running official White House social media accounts, RadarOnline.com can reveal. The speculation intensified following the arrest of Venezuelan despot Nicolás Maduro, which occurred after a daring and controversial military raid led by the Trump administration.

**White House Social Media Trolls Maduro After Arrest**

Since Donald Trump, now 79, began his second term in January, official government social media channels have repeatedly attracted attention for trolling, sharing provocative anti-immigration content, and amplifying unfounded claims.

On Saturday, January 3, the White House X (formerly Twitter) account stirred up a frenzy by posting a montage video. The post combined footage of a Maduro speech and a clip of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, all set to Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize.” The caption read, “If you don’t know, now you know,” referencing the famous rapper’s lyrics, alongside a bald eagle emoji.

**Barron Trump Suspected of Crafting Viral Posts**

Social media users immediately began speculating that Barron Trump was behind the cheeky government posts. “It has to be Barron Trump running this account,” one X user commented, in response to the video, which has now exceeded 31 million views.

Other users echoed similar sentiments. “At first, I thought it was a random X account, then I realized it was the official White House account,” wrote another, while a third added, “I don’t know if this post coming from an official White House account is hilarious or terrifying (to be honest).” Jokes such as “The intern running this account needs a raise,” and replies like “It’s Barron” and “Well done, Barron” flooded the post.

Dozens more chimed in, stating they were “convinced” that the president and first lady’s only child was responsible for the account’s tone and content.

**Repeated Accusations of Barron Running Government Accounts**

This isn’t the first time the NYU student has been accused of managing official social media channels. In mid-December 2025, a user speculated, “I think Barron is running the White House TikTok account.” Many agreed, referencing what they described as “childish responses.”

Only a week later, another user joked that Barron had posted a TikTok video featuring Donald and Melania Trump celebrating “Christmas Eve Eve.”

**White House Takes Control of DOJ Social Media**

RadarOnline.com previously reported that the White House took over the Department of Justice’s official X account amid the chaotic publication of the Epstein files in December 2025. Social media users quickly noted that the DOJ account had lost its professional tone and began echoing Trump’s signature style seen on Truth Social.

In one notable incident, the DOJ account insulted a reporter, calling them a “dope.” Reports later claimed the White House commandeered the DOJ’s social media to better control the narrative as the department hurried to release materials related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

One post read, “Because the law requires us to release all documents related to Jeffrey Epstein in our possession, so that’s what we are doing, you dope. Are you suggesting we break the law?” This response was directed at a White House reporter questioning the delayed release of documents.

**Conclusion**

While there is no confirmed evidence that Barron Trump is managing the official White House or DOJ social media accounts, speculation continues to swirl online as government posts take on a youthful, provocative, and distinctly unorthodox tone.
