Trump leaves people confused over 'mystery' daughter post
Donald Trump has sparked some serious confusion online with a Truth Social post he shared on Father’s Day.
The 80-year-old US President took to the social media platform to post a photo on Sunday (21 June) of a ‘mystery’ blonde woman, rather than his children.
The Republican leader has five children from three marriages - Donald Trump Jr., 48, Ivanka, 44, and Eric, 42, with his first wife, Ivana, Tiffany, 32, with Maria Maples, and Barron, 20, with his current wife, First Lady Melania.
But the photo is not of any of his offspring, nor is it any of his grandchildren, despite the caption reading: “Great daughter. My Honor!!! President DJT.”

The woman in question is seen sitting on a sofa as she smiles while speaking to someone on a landline phone.
Baffled X users wrote: “Who is this?” and “Who tf is she?? Why would his caption say ‘Great Daughter’??”
A third penned: “I’ve been trying to find that out for 20 minutes, and I can’t find anything.”
The user added: “Reverse image searches show nothing. Gemini says the cushion could belong to the AG or Governor of Arkansas, but none of their daughters, back when this Pic was taken look like this. Who is this???”
While a fourth questioned: “Like for real. Who is this person?,” and a fifth pointed out: “The fact that nobody knows who this is for sure, including the AIs giving different responses, is killing me right now.”
The Mirror’s US Political Editor Mikey Smith has reported that he’s ‘pretty sure’ the woman is Margo Catsimatidis and the photograph was taken at Camp David, where Trump was over the weekend.
Camp David is a secluded presidential retreat that’s located in the Catoctin Mountain Park near Thurmont, Maryland.
Smith wrote,” The cushions on the sofas match photos taken at Camp David during the George W Bush era, but the large cushion with the Great Seal of the State Of Arkansas suggests the Clinton Administration - so somewhere between 1993 and 2001.”
Margo’s husband, John a, is a billionaire New York City businessman who is the Chairman and CEO of the Red Apple Group.
Meanwhile, Margo’s daughter, Andrea, is the Chairwoman of the Manhattan Republican Party and has become a prominent socialite in New York Republican politics.
The family is famously close with the US President and has been a significant donor to Trump across multiple election cycles.
As for why Trump’s posting a photo and calling her a ‘great daughter’ on Father’s Day, that remains not completely clear, although it seems that he's saying Margo has a great daughter, due to her support for Republican politics.
He’s yet to clarify the meaning of the post or share any further information about why he shared it, or when or where the photo was taken.
