President Donald Trump took to social media to praise a mystery “daughter,” sparking online confusion.
“Great daughter. My Honor!!!” Trump, 80, wrote via Truth Social on Saturday, June 20, sharing a photo of a woman who was not either one of his daughters, Ivanka Trump or Tiffany Trump. He signed off the post with his usual, “President DJT.”
The photo seemingly depicted Margo Catsimatidis, the 74-year-old wife of billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis. The couple are longtime Trump donors, per Forbes.
In the photo, the woman was dressed in a head-to-toe black ensemble while holding a phone to her ear on a red couch and smiling for the camera.
Online sleuths began speculating about the woman’s identity soon after the post went live, with a journalist from the U.K.’s Mirror, Mikey Smith, claiming to have “solved the mystery” himself.
“I’m pretty sure the woman is Margo Catsimatidis, and I think the picture was taken at Camp David (where Trump is this weekend), probably during the Clinton Administration,” Smith wrote via X the following day.
Despite online speculation over the post’s intention — and the woman’s identity — Trump did not provide further details in a separate Father’s Day post on Sunday, June 21. “Happy Father’s Day! Our Country is doing GREAT,” he wrote via Truth Social. “We are WINNING on all fronts, WINNING LIKE NEVER BEFORE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!”
Trump wasn’t the only member of his family to publicly mark Father’s Day via social media. Bettina Trump, who married the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. in May, shared an Instagram Story about her new husband on Sunday. “Happy Father’s Day to the most incredible dad,” Bettina, 39, wrote over a photo of Don Jr., 48, alongside his five children. “Your love for your kids is real, constant, and seen in everything you do … how hard you work for them, how you protect them, how much you provide, and how intentionally you create memories and experiences they’ll have for the rest of their lives.”
Don Jr. shares Kai, 19, Donald III, 17, Tristan, 14, Spencer, 13, and Chloe, 12, with his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump. He is the president’s eldest son with late ex-wife Ivana Trump. Donald is also father of sons Eric, whom he also shared with Ivana, and Barron, 20, whom he shares with current wife Melania Trump.
