Fact Check: Fake Screenshot Of Ivanka Trump X Post About South Park And Father's Penis Size Is NOT Real Not Real

Did Ivanka Trump publish a post on X saying it is "painful to see your own father" being "utterly despised" and complaining about the depiction of his penis size on South Park? No, that's not true: A viral screenshot that appeared to show a post with the phrase "his penis isn't THAT small" was falsified. No such message appeared on Ivanka's X account and Google did not index one either.

An example of the screenshot could be seen in a post on x (archived here) published on August 23, 2025 with a comment that read "She would know. 😂". The text in the screenshot attached to it read:

It's very painful to see your own father so utterly despised by half the country, to see him constantly maligned by the media, talk show hosts, etc. Not to mention the constant falsehoods! Take these new South Park episodes, for example-his penis isn't THAT small!

This is what the screenshot looked like:

Lead Stories searched for posts with the phrases "South Park" and "despised" on Ivanka Trump's X account and did not find any matching posts (archived here).

A Google search for the same phrases limited to links containing x.com/IvankaTrump using the "site:" search operator returned no results either (archived here), indicating Google didn't recently index such a post.

All screenshots of the supposed post that Lead Stories reviewed showed exactly the same view count (31M) and background. If the post had been real, the expectation would be that there were more screenshots circulating showing different view counts and/or layouts (night vs. day mode, mobile vs. web interface...).
