In March 2022, we looked at an ominous online advertisement that claimed: The Truth About Donald Trump's Son Barron Is No Secret Anymore. It featured a picture of former U.S. President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron, and appeared to promise a big reveal. He was born on March 20, 2006. The ad led to an article on NickiSwift.com that had the headline: Things You Didn't Know About Barron Trump. The story was originally published in December 2016 and had been updated as recently as October 2021. The beginning of the article read as follows: The story listed various details about Barron's life. It ended with speculation that he might have been caught vaping with e-cigarettes, which perhaps led to a government ban on flavors used in the products. However, this was not confirmed. The Associated Press reported on the news of the ban back in September 2019. We found no evidence that the article about the Trump family revealed a truth about Barron that is no secret anymore. The ad appeared to be nothing more than clickbait that led to nearly 3,000 words about Barron's life, some of which was speculation.
