ST LOUIS, MISSOURI: Former President Donald Trump is under investigation by the FBI, who raided his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida because they believe Trump not only possesses dozens of boxes likely containing classified information, but also evidence that could shed light on whether there were efforts to obstruct the government's investigation. One of four investigations could show him possible violations of the Espionage Act, mishandling of federal records, and obstruction of a federal investigation. Against this backdrop, a satirical site on Twitter set the Internet abuzz by posting a tweet about Trump's son, Barron Trump.

Another investigation FBI, being conducted, concerns the January 6 attack on the Capitol and broader efforts to overturn the 2020 election when he lost to Joe Biden. There are two other investigations related to the billionaire. The Halfway Post, known for posting news with a dash of humor, posted an absolutely satirical commentary that read, "BREAKING: Donald Trump says he hopes the DOJ will think about his son Barron because if he goes to jail, Barron will lose the father who is so close and dedicated to him." The thread continues with several stories in which Dash MacIntyre, the owner of the site, trolled Donald Trump.
