A viral screenshot circulating online claimed that Donald Trump called Fortnite Friday’s Streamer Awards 2025 nomination “socialist propaganda.” Although the image appeared convincing, it was completely edited. Trump never posted anything like it on Truth Social.
Reporters reviewed his official Truth Social account and found no posts mentioning Fortnite Friday, the Streamer Awards, the nomination, or any related topic. The claim is entirely false.
Why Did the Rumor Spread?
Fortnite Friday was recently nominated for “Best Streamed Series” at the Streamer Awards 2025, scheduled for December 6 at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles.
Shortly after nominations were released, an edited screenshot started spreading online. It used inflammatory language, calling the series “liberal” and “socialist propaganda,” and even claimed Trump supported streamers like Adin Rossand Tectone.
None of these statements appear anywhere on Trump’s verified account.
Who Hosts Fortnite Friday?
Fortnite Friday is hosted by ConnorEatsPants, a well-known streamer who mixes gaming with a talk-show style format. Episodes often feature notable guests, leading to clips circulating widely on social media.
Despite the show’s popularity, there is no confirmed reaction from Trump. The viral screenshot is simply a doctored image created to look like a genuine Truth Social post.
