It's a Drafting account, an account that exploits name recognition of a well-known person in order to get attention on their own, unrelated content.
Because if you impersonate on X now, you have to lable it as a Parody account. So these 'news' accounts get around that by using the word 'news' and attaching it to a famous (and respected) person: Trumpnews, TrumpWorldNews, CharlieKirkNews, blahblahNews, etc. They are everywhere and they invariably spread disinformation, clickbait and garbage for clicks.
Apologies, Banjo. It's just that the damage these 'news' accounts - what I call drafter accounts (they draft behind real people like cars drafting behind massive trucks on the freeway) - are causing gets me riled.
I understand not all of us are as 'up to date'. But I hope more of us can spot these sorts of red flags more easily. It's really not rocket science. It's just a matter of realizing that we're in an information war, and we're actually being targeted.
Thanks again. I have purposely avoided all social media outlets... no X account, no FB account, no Instagram account... it has its benefits, but I'm also not knowledgeable about these things.
Is this Barron's actual account? If so, wow!
I don't think so.
This one looks more officle,and it looks like he's never posted.

Please, anon. You've been here for years.
As if this is Barron's own account.

Thanks for the update, but not everyone is as up to date on these things. I see your point, though.
