No, this isn’t an authentic video of Barron Trump on ‘America’s Got Talent’

President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, is famously private, rarely making public statements, much less appearing on NBC’s reality show "America’s Got Talent."

But recent social media posts shared a purported video of Trump, 18, performing on the show.

"We believe in Jesus, the truth and the way," Trump appears to sing.

A Feb. 12 Facebook post sharing the video said: "Barron Trump singing on America’s Got Talent" and "everyone on shocked."

This post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads.)

The video in the Facebook post came from a Feb. 9 TikTok post, where its caption includes "Ai."

A longer version of the video shared Feb. 8 on YouTube clearly says it was created using artificial intelligence.

"The Philadelphia Eagles have declined their invitation to the White House,” as of Feb. 24.

"Disclaimer," the YouTube post’s caption says. "This song and video was created with the help of A.I. technology and does not represent the thoughts or attitudes of the imitated artists in any way. The artist himself was not involved in this production. The purpose of this song is to inspire and spread the message of faith and hope to everyone."

Both the YouTube account and the TikTok account feature other AI videos purporting to show Trump singing different songs.
