Verdict: False
There is no evidence of the post.
Fact Check:
Lara Trump announced that she will step down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, the Associated Press reported. She has been rumored as a possible replacement for Marco Rubio’s Senate, which she said she would “consider,” according to the outlet.
A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, allegedly shows a screenshot of an alleged Trump post on social media that claims his wife and child went to a Springsteen concert. The post also implies they were “not impressed” by the musician.
“Recently, Melania took Baron, A GREAT GUITARIST, to see overrated, communist singer, Bruce Springstern NOT IMPRESSED!!!” the alleged post reads.
The caption reads, “Wow! Did the model conman dad really misspell his son’s name, or am I seeing things? How can you make that mistake? That’s hilarious! Classic…”
The claim is inaccurate. There is no credible news report that suggests that Trump commented on Melania and Barron attending his concert. The post appears to be altered to look like a screenshot of Trump Truth Social account. There is no such statement found on Trump’s Truth Social account
Springsteen has been a strong critic of Trump, in one interview he said that Trump is “mentally ill”, according to The Telegraph. Trump attacked Springsteen during the campaign and said by backing Vice President Kamala Harris, Springsteen went against his public image, Newsweek reported.
